looking at the saints squad they have all their first choice players fit I thought they may have rested some this week with the challenge cup being next week, may be the hub cap is worth winning after all, I hope Ellis as a good a game as he did last week and keep his kicks low the high kicks cost us dear in the cup

Wonder if Roberts could find himself at centre in the last year of his deal...who knows! He’s got the capabilities.

I think Roberts to centre would be a very good shout. Roberts has good defence and pace against a very quick Saints team. Shenton and Trueman to keep the same spots from last week. Not to mention you could interchange Roberts/Shenton and Trueman if things did not work out. Good options to have.

Defencively, i will always back Benny against anyone. He is no doubt our best defencive back in the squad. Whether it be Foster or Benny who lines up against them, i feel confident we won't be breached much outwide from Percival or Makinson.

It shouldn't be that difficult a transition for Roberts to play right centre. He defends that side of the field and in attack he one in from Webster usually.
I agree with some other posters why change around a backline that went well last time out?

Exactly. Plus he's played centre in Australia. Far far easier transition to make and make effectively than going to fullback. Plus as folks say - defensively solid. Also adds something more in attack due to he can kick with his left peg

He was playing left centre on the pictures. I assume Foster will shuffle across to the right.

Shame that. I would have left Foster at left centre.

So Fozzy will be testing himself against Percival?

Looking forward to this one now match day is here.
Watched the rerun of the Magic win and the tactics are a blue print for tonight.
Run straight and hard early doors. Hit even harder in defence. Grind out repeat sets. It's not really the style of last year but it suits our playing resources at the moment.
Watching Saturday's win again, Joe W & Jake ran some cracking straight lines either side of the middles - some work to pick up there by other players.
Overall, it's great that we are competitive going into these big games.
