I presume Pryce is playing at 6 for them, so I would like to see our best defencive number 6 marking him.



Having watched the SOO 3 today which was a fantastic game I would suggest that Pryce is one of say 5 or 6 English players who could have played at that level. Our problem is that two of the others are Graham and Roby. So even if we did manage to look after Pryce ( which I have yet to see ) Saints have plenty of others who we need to worry about.



Anyway I think Grix, Obst, Drew, Brough would all struggle to contain Pryce, they are just not big enough, so I would go with JD at 6 and get Latu to smash his ribs as second or third man in as many times as possible.

i would defo play murphy on the wing

sounds good to me

Drop JD in place of grix??? you must see something i'm missing. When snitch went off last week we replaced latu for fergie and moved jd to 9 where he held our middle strong and got us forward. How you have come to deciding who the 6 is out of a winger and loose fro last week is confusing.

Gone are the old days of targetting players like that

i reckon it should make a comeback this week though

it worked at Hull KR on Brad drew.

Grix should have been dropped weeks ago, playing out of position on the wing is no excuse for the number of balls he has dropped, IMHO.

What we do when we're a man down during a game depends on the other 16 playing so JD moving to 9 for 10 minutes means nothing.



If we have Obst & Drew interchanging at hooker with Latu at loose forward there isn't a need to use JD to make up the numbers in the pack. Last week he alternated between 6 & 13 at the scrum depending on field position.



I firmly believe that JD is fast approaching the end of his playing days at Belle Vue & we need to look to the future. IMO the only "justification" for his selection for most of this season is that fact that he's club captain & that simply isn't a good enough reason to pick someone no matter who they are. At the moment there are at least 17 players performing better than JD and we clearly have to play our form players against Saints.



My team would be as follows:



Blaymire



Murphy

Gleeson

Atkins

Petersen



Grix

Brough



Moore

Drew

Stosic

Snitch

Ferguson

Latu



Wilkes

Bibey

Obst

Korkidas

Eeerm, Murphy a couple against Bradford, Petersen 2 against Leeds that were certain tries.....it happens

Grix scored has scored a couple from chips like that recently and is actually taking the kickoff position for catch high ball so I don't think I agree with you and JK evidentally doesn't either.

Well you could say that about one of our centres too !!

Surely if your picking purely on 'form' , then Obst and Korki would start

mybe its because he has the highest tackle count this season and tackle busts for the club check your stats

In fact half way up the top ten tackle busts for ALL clubs!
