I have decided to go without the DC’s as their clubs have players on international duties, and are likely to need them, also with an important game next Thursday I think Donlan needs a rest, so I’m going with: -

Maden
Alstead
Nanyn
Higson
Stanton
Ridyard
Duffy

Nash (mainly down hill)
Jock
Morrison
Smith (mainly down hill)
Leuluai
Armitstead

Nicholson
Taylor (mainly up hill)
Goulden
Hill (mainly up hill)

We should hopefully have the Dual lads, Bibey? and Donlan back for Part 2, but I'm not naming my team yet as all places are up for grabs.



=#FFFFFFIn case anyone doesn't know I'm not really Basil...........................

I'm his advisor

Thank god your not Basil with theat team selection

I'd agree with your most of your team but I'd start Goulden & have Smithy on the bench. I'm torn between two decisions whilst Mort could cover at FB & do a good job then you would have to drop some one who is performing like Maden or Alstead a tough one

I'm ever so slightly edging towards Ian at FB & giving Nicky a run out on the wing bearing in mind we play them 4 days later & will have fresh feeeling players come Thursday.

i think maden may play full back if donlan isnt available, madens having a blinder this year under the high ball...put stanton on the wing in his place

Although I always take one game at a time, I do need to rotate the squad with due consideration for this and up coming fixtures, and to get the best out of all the lads they all need the opportunity to fight for a first team place, I have selected a team that provided each of the players plays to the level they are capable of, and stick to the game plan, we should achieve the objective of gaining three points.

However the number one target this season is to be able to apply for SL, the easiest route to achieve this objective is to qualify via winning the NRC, which we are only 160 minutes away from achieving.

If you’d like to post your team I’ll appear to give it due consideration before ignoring it come Sunday

Mort/Alstead/one starting
Stanton
Maden
Nanyn
Higson
Duffs
Ridyard
Hill
Mc Connell
Nash
Taylor
Leuleui
Armistead
Goulden
Morrison
Nicholson
Mccarthy(unlikely to play for Wire, one had one game since being out for a while)

Unless Donlan can prove he is 100% fit I'd go with Morty at fullback and let stu rest for next week.

I'd try and leave our wingers and centres as they were at the weekend as they were much better defensively even though it was "only" hunslet.

Maden
Stanton
Alstead
Nanyn

SUBS
Armistead
Nicholson
Leuleui
Durbin

good impact players from the bench and 2 very fast lads in Nicholson and Durbin to add that extra bit in attack.

I can't see Durbin and Nicholson playing, for me it's about size and quick defence, to stop the buggers rolling down that hill.

but you put him in your team sheet

I was meaning either or but not both, I went for Nicholson, others had both in their squads.
