I would make 1 or 2 changes from Sunday.

Feca to replace prescott, gleeson to replace marsh, phelps to be in contention for the full back role, Faz to replace mossop.

Thoughts?

Pat
Goulding
Gleeson
Carmont


Pyrce
Sam
Tommy
Fielden
Macca
Coley
Joel
Bailey
Lockers

Farrell
Riddell
Feka
Eamon

thats 4 changes tricky

but yeh farrell in for mossop, gleeson for marsh. poss phelps in at full back rest goulding and put richards back on the wing. Any news on amos ????

None yet.

I was hoping that they'd ask Madge yesterday when they interviewed him on GMR after the game, but no such luck.

We start to become a frightening prospect again if we have him back, and especially if Gleeson can work his way back in to the team as well.

Plus, it would be nice for him to get some game time under his belt and test the leg, so he's happy with it for next week's game at Leeds.

Any idea when Roberts will be back? Heard either the Leeds cup game (but dont think he will be risked in such a big game) or Cas at home the week after!

I think Roberts could play off the bench next week!

Amos is 2/3 weeks away. They dont want to rush him back.

If Roberts is ready to play then give him a go in the academy, wouldn't want his first game back to be in the first team after such a long lay off. I've got Walker in because I've been really unimpressed with Bailey this season, I think he looks ready for retirement so we should give a youngster with something to prove some gametime instead.

I don't think he is. I saw him doing some running last week and have a feeling he will play on Sunday.

Well when ever Amos does take to the field, be it this week or next I'm sure he'll be ready. All the talk coming from Madge has been about not rushing him back, so we can pretty much rule that one. I'd personally like to see him back next week, that way it'll give him a little match practice in preparation for the cup game the following week.

It's going to be such a boost to see Amos return, I just hope we can see him mirror his form of earlier this year.

Just for the record, assuming he is back for the Crusaders I'd go:

Amos
Richards
Carmont
Gleeson- If Madge has forgiven him.
Pryce

When he comes back either put Goulding at centre instead of Gleeson or on the wing instead of Pryce. Personally i don't think he will play next week, a week too early for him.
