If you were to pick a 17 for Thursday who would you play?
Personally It would be a toss of a coin for the fullback with Dixon and Cockayne. I've gone with K.D as he has got that fire in his belly and confidence is high.
So my team would be.

Keiron Dixon
Ken Sio
Liam Salter
Kris Welham
Josh Mantellato
Bobby Blair
Albert Kelly
Dane Tilse
Shaun Lunt
Adam Walker
Kevin Larroyer
Graham Horne
Tyrone McCarthy

John Boudebza
James Donaldson
Jordan Cox
James Greenwood/Tony Puletua (not sure if TP is cup tied if he isn't then TP gets my nod)

Over to you

Same as Wire game unless injuries force changes. The only one I would consider is Lunt for Bouzebda, if only to give the lad a rest. It will depend if Lunt has his head on for playing.

I'd put Lunt on for ollett and tilse in for cox. Keep the rest the same unless someone has a knock

I'm broadly with you on this, Barham.

It's difficult to tinker with a winning team, but having watched the game again today on Hull KR TV, Larroyers starting place may be under threat. He may have led the team in tackles vs. Warrington, but he was culpable for being drawn out of his defensive marker position twice for both Wire tries and his 3.83 per carry is the worst of any of our forwards. His go forward is in freefall.

If Larroyer is dropped to the bench, Donaldson should start.

I would definitely have Donno starting, I have been impressed with him. Also if Lunt is fit get him in and rest Boudebza, Puletua will get Tuesday off, so he is a cert. maybe swap larroyer for Burke and cox for Tilse.

id drop walker for tilse not impressed with walker this season was very impressed with cox off bench on friday

Chester was praising Walker after Friday's match, but thinking back I am inclined to side with you on this one, his impact in the tackle was poor, turning and backing in looking for the offload every time, and rarely managing it.

Very impressed with Cox but not impressed with walker, Christ. Walkers led from the front this year after a very very difficult season for our props. Think everyone's noticed his crab like tactics going forward but he's not the biggest prop in the world and think it's more sensible going forward that way than just straight forward. Gets the opposition moving to tackle aswell rather than just have someone run straight at you.

According to Chris Chester the most difficult decision to make is going to be who to play at Fullback, he said on sports talk ....does he go with attack in mind or pick his best defender, he also said he think he knows already what his preference will be.
For me it has to be Dixon at fullback as he offers that x factor in attack with his pace, plus I believe his defensive game has improved since the beginning of the season,

His attempt to tackle a rampaging Chris Hill one on one for Wires opening try had me p**s**g myself. After you, Chris, let me know when you've put the ball down and thank me later, etc.etc.

But he has an X Factor in attack and could exploit space in Cats defensive line with his searing pace. Dixon at fb for me too.

Hi Jordan, I see they have let you near the laptop again.
