-------------------------------------------------------



No referee though!

Welcome back Temata? May be a bit early yet

So that's Temata and Pryce added to last week's 17.

Wonder who will miss out. If Te Mata's fit, presumably Krasniqi will drop out.

The refs meant to be the penalty king Mr Childs.



But then

Also think it maybe that Karl T in just for the numbers,so dont think he be back just yet.



If he is fit im sure that he be given a little run out in the U20's squad the day before against Widnes for some match fittest and maybe to see how he goes. But then again love to see him back,as Crusaders do have a big pack

No Golden for these first two games of the season, interestingly.

The Lukes giving the Karls a chance this week?

Gale being dropped, after last week?



Seems unlikely. And out of position to boot

Crusaders missing Mellars which is good news for us, Their website is much more informative than ours re player fitness: www.crusadersrfl.com/article.php?id=3872

14.Ambler

15.Temata/Krasniqi

16.Melling

17.Ellis

Interesting team that Gooner- Gale at 7?



O'C over Melling for Pryce?



Nick the Greek at 13(not for me!)

I'd rather Mellor at 7 and Gale at 6, I just don't think Randall is a scrum Half



I think O'Callaghan is more of a natural winger than Melling and I prefer Melling in the Back row.



The Greek at 13 only to keep him away from 9. Ideally i'd have Bailey at 13

Should be a good game Sunday although last year I thought it would be close and we ran riot.

I've not seen Mellor so cant comment-I agree about Randall he is a 9- You could see the way he was looking for the contact last week- Holds the ball that second to long.



Bailey or Purdo for me at 13
