Although Bridge is named i don't think he'll make the final cut, he's not 100%

In that case Yed I wouldn't risk him in this one.

I may be wrong and TS might use this to get him match fit for SL, if that was the case I'd be more inclined to use him at centre anyway.

TBH i think it's an ideal game to play Myler & GOB to give them the experience against top Aussies. After all , there is only pride at stake & the experience might benefit them throughout the rest of the season.

Ratchford not playing...Bridge to make Bench.

If thats the case then thats a massive blow.

it is....struggling to pass yesterday by all accounts!! Wheeler in at Centre...Joel to wing...Penny at Full back on attack GOB covering in defence. Bit like last week at Hull.



Just my opinion of course....

if Bridge is fit and makes the game then it's not so massive loosing Ratchford. We have Wheeler too.

Nah, not going to go into a game like this, with a gameplan like that from the off.

Evans to FB, Joel back on the wing perhaps. But who will miss out along with Ratchford ?

I wouldn't be surprised to see both wingers (Penny and Evans) take turns at Full Back.....seems to be something Smith likes to Do. I agree with you though... he should pick a fullback and have him fullback all game. Didn't Evans play there for England U 19's??? So has more experience than Penny....

If both Ratch and Russell are not available i would have Evans as 3rd automatic choice.

Penny and Joel on the wings

Atkins and Wheeler/Bridge in the centres
