| Two changes by Jimmy. Would have liked to have seen more to give some of the regulars a kick up the backside. Plus we've a really tough easter coming up and i can't see Jimmy making many (if any changes over the period)
Squad: Tom Olbison, Dan Fleming, Dale Ferguson, Omari Caro, Joe Lumb, Alex Mellor, James Clare, Jay Pitts, Mitch Clark, Kurt Haggerty, Oscar Thomas, Kris Welham, Matty Blythe, Danny Addy, Etu Uaisele, Steve Crossley, Rhys Lovegrove, Paul Clough, Lee Gaskell.
Think Jimmy will go
1. James Clare
2. Omari Caro
3. Kris Welham
4. Matty Blythe
5. Etu Uaisele
6. Lee Gaskell
7. Oscar Thomas
8. Paul Clough
9. Danny Addy
10. Rhys Lovegroce
11. Dale Ferguson
12. Tom Olbison
13. Jay Pitts
14. Joe Lumb
15. Steve Crossley
16. Mitch Clark
17. Kurt Haggerty/Alex Mellor
Flemming and either Haggerty or Mellor to miss out

| I wouldn't be surprised to see Lumb get the full 80 at hooker, if he can manage it. Get him as much practice as possible and leave Addy at 7. If we're going to persist with Addy as scrum half, and Lowes hasn't decided to rest him, I would give him as much practice there as possible.
Oscar Thomas can play fullback, Clare stays on the wing and have Uaisele on the bench. If Lumb does need to come off then, you can always shift it into similar positions as Bull Mania has suggested, with Uaisele going into the threequarter line.
I am slightly surprised that if he's going to rest Mathers and O'Brien, there's no Johnny Campbell though. Seems like the perfect opportunity to give him a go and see how he gets on. Unless he isn't actually quite fit yet.

| Was hoping to see Campbell but ah well.
I'd go:
Clare
Caro
Welham
Blythe
Uaisele
Gaskell
Addy
Clough
Lumb
Crossley
Olbison
Ferguson/Haggerty
Pitts
Thomas
Clark
Lovegrove/Fleming
Mellor
Give one of Ferguson or Haggerty a rest, and I can't decide between Fleming or Lovegrove for bench prop.
I would use Thomas as our bench hooker, but only in an attacking sense. When Dewsbury have the ball I'd have Addy defending in the middle and Thomas move out wide. Give Lumb as much game time as he can manage.

| I thought O'Brien came off with a knock at Batley? Maybe the, 'resting', isn't just a day off for the sake of it.

| If Lumb is capable of doing 80 minutes... I'd straight straight swap Etu for Caro and Thomas for Mathers so its not swapping/mixing the back line too much. If he cant do 80 minutes then I suspect Jimmy will bench Thomas an put Addy at hooker.
Also would like to see Fleming given ago ahead of Crossley.
1.Thomas
2.Clare
3.Blythe
4.Welham
5.Etu
6.Gaskell
7.Addy
8.Clough
9Lumb
10.Lovegrove
11.Haggerty
12.Olbison
13.Pitts
Clark
Fleming
Ferguson
Mellor
Good impact off the bench!
What has happened to Walshaw... injured??

I'd like to see Walshaw given a run of games to build up some form. Unless we encounter some serious injuries I can't see either of these 2 getting a look in.

He seems to have spent the last two years in the halves. How much practice do you think it will take?

| Don't understand what Walshaw has done wrong. Seems to be one Jimmy doesn't want to give a chance to.

A fair point, but judging by Sunday's display, he needs more.
In previous years he's been in and out of the halves due to injuries. This year, as it stands, he's our first choice 7 so more important that he plays there properly.
