 Royston
 Raynor
 Platt
 Ah Van (Clearly a centre not Wing)
 Ainscough
 Kearney
 Herbert
 Hargreaves (Back to prop and to start)
 Diskin
 Lynch
 Walker (Offers more in the 2nd row for me)
 Whitehead
 Addy (Lets see what he can do at loose)
 
 Subs: Scruton (Impact) Le Estrange (Impact Hooker) Sykes (Only because of his ability to cover the back line, NOT Stand Off) Burgess (again lets see what he can do)
 
 Dropped due to poor form: Elima (He's not at the races yet) Sibbit (penalty machine) and Kopzcack (Not doing enough)
 
 A bit controversial? possibly dropping Elima but thats what Potter has said from the start, if someone is not performing they can expect to sit it out.
 
 Thoughts Colleagues?!!

 I'd keep Elima even if it's on the bench, Walker can cover the backs if necessary. I think Olbison showed enough spirit to keep a bench spot but would love to see Addy in at 13.

Personally I'd play Elima and have Walker on the bench (for impact). Elima can move up to prop when Walker comes on. Agree that Koppy and Sibbit look out of sorts and maybe need that kick up the behind, but to be fair the same could be said of Lynch. 
 
Not sure who I'd have as the last sub - bit harsh on Olbison to be dropped after doing little wrong in the short amount of time he had. A lot would depend on whether Herbert is fit and will last the 80. If there are some doubts about being able to play 80 mins we may need a back on the bench (like Sykes) or you risk moving Heath there if something does happen to Herbert. |

 Diskin for Le Estrange (Diskin really sped up play on Sunday when introduced)
 Herbert for Sykes
 Ainscough for Raynor (due to Raynor's inability to keep hold of the ball when running!)
 Koppy for Addy on the bench
 Oh... and Sibbit for Sykes (as stated above, decent cover for the backs)
 
 Defo keep Elima in squad as he's one of our best defenders!
 
 Don't think we need to make wholesale changes, teem cannot/will not gel when we change every player!

 Not sure why your dropping Elima, he is our top tackler and gets through a mountain of work in defence. Interesting that Whitehead is our second most missed tackles person after Brett Kearney!

It's hard to tell how good he is when we're playing the really top teams and - in the case of Sunday - playing without half backs who can move us around the field
 
 I also think its time Ainscough was given a run, maybe give Rayner a break this week. We need to see if Ainscough is up to the task.

 Maybe he's being thought of as a sort of Vaikona style winger? there are some similarities but i believe his best position is at Centre...

 Think we need to include addy to get some creativity at loose. sykes on bench as cover in case herbert isnt fully fit. raynor isnt pulling up trees so give ainscough a shot. problem with moving ah van to  is his defense isnt great. he needs to be paired with a strong winger/ and dont see ainscough or raynor as being much better defensively so better he stays paired with platt imo. Give sibbit a week off as he's giving away a lot of penalties.
 
 Oh and if kearneys playing in halves then keep him in halves and stop this daft business of defending at Fb and attacking at half. Makes both him and royston less effective imo.

Elima will hit his straps running when he see Thomas, Williams, Flower and Dudson, wearing red shirts with a green vee       A proud French man who was gutted to have been denied entry to the four nations competition.  Elima will be up for this game. |

He does massive amounts of work that goes unnoticed.
