I agree with this and what others have said - it seems an age since Grady 1st broke into the 1st team and since then he's been tried in loads of different positions without ever being allowed to specialise in one. He has now finally had a decent run in the team and playing well. I used to watch the academy and Grady was a great fullback, but if he's maturing into a good centre, why change things? The only change that I would make postionally is putting Kavanagh back at prop due to the injuries of Haggerty and Pickersgill making us a bit light up front.

I'd go with:

1. Scott Yates
2. Matt Gardner
3. Shane Grady
4. Toa Kohe Love
5. Danny Crompton
6. Anthony Thackeray
7. James Webster
8. Jim Gannon
9. Mark Smith
10. Dave Houghton
11. Lee Doran
12. Liam Farrell
13. Dave Allen

14. Thomas Coyle
15. Ben Kavanagh
16. Ben Davies
17. Richard Varkulis

Bit of an inexperienced front row with 3 of the 4 props being 21 or under, but hopefully with players Smithy and Webbo there to lead us around, I'm sure they'll be fine. Will be a lot happier once we get the likes of Haggerty, Pickersgill and Flynn back.

Weather not looking great for tomorrow - I hope it isn't called off, I've been really looking forward to this game! Look forward to seeing you all there!

It's not snowing or freezing just wet so see no reason it will be off tbh mate!

it will be a barmy 9 degrees tomorrow

That for me looks pretty close to the team I’d pick too. Yates has to be given another chance at FB sooner or later. This season is make or break for him. Let’s give the lad a chance. I’ll be disappointed if Yacca doesn’t get this opportunity. Cullen knows what he’s doing though, and I’m sure he’ll see the significance and the opportunity this game has for Scott.

I’d like to see how Matt Gardener does on the opposite wing with Toa, although that would possibly leave us weak on one side, with two youngsters in Grady and Danny Crompton partnering.

Who’d be a coach eh?
