Is Ratchford playing? Surely not? I get Sneyd, aside from Harry Smith nobody can do what he can do on his day, we had to sign him. Ratch is getting like the late Westwood days, picked on nostalgia and positive values and experience, all the while not delivering. 

Sneyd and Leyland for me, if available. 

Big calls (assuming everyone is fit) is Tai or Lindop in the centres and Ratchford or Leyland in the halves. Ratchford better defensively but Leyland has a bit more spark, I’m going attack over defence and going for Lindop & Leyland. I’m thinking Burgess may go for Ratchford though…


Dufty
Thewlis
Lindop
King
Ashton
Leyland
Sneyd
Vaughan
Powell
Yates
Holroyd
Fitzgibbon
Currie


Crowther
Philbin
Musgrove
Harrison

Completely agree. 

I'm not particularly concerned about Lindop in defence but the alternative thinking is mix and match and play Tsi if hes going with Leyland and vice versa. 


But yes a couple of big calls 

Given how King has come back from injury a couple of times already only to either not complete the game or else finish on one leg, Burgess may go with Lindop and Tai.


Regardles as to who plays between Sneyd, Ratchford and Leyland, it's yet another new halfback pairing.
