That looks a pretty good squad to me even considering the injuries to the pack that we currently have, but Powell does mention the possibility of moving Pitts into the pack ????


Is Isaac Shaw fit ??

I think Russell is a possible for the wing too

Jowitt 

Walmsley/Rourke/Russell
Scott
Pratt
Johnstone
Trueman
Lino
McMeeken
Hood
Vangana
Croft
Griffin
Pitts


Smith
Cozza
Fa’atili
Lingard/Shaw

Yep I’d be happy enough with that too Avenger. Though I think Nikotemo has to play as he’s supposedly fit.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record I wouldn’t even consider moving Pitts when we have our 1st choice spine pretty much available possibly. Makes even less sense when we have others who can play prop their as well. Powell was discussing options but he also mentioned Cozza and that’s who I think he will go with. 


My team would be: 


Jowitt
Walmsley
Hall
Pratt
Johnstone
Trueman
Lino
Mckmeeken 
Hood
Faatili 
Scott
Griffin
Pitts


Smith
Vagana 
Cozza
Croft


I’d be tempted to swap Scott/Croft and would be fine with either at second row. 


I didn’t put Nikotemo in as he looked to be struggling on inside trinity last weekend but if he does play he will go second row and I would be tempted to swap Scott into centre over Hall. I think the team more or less picks itself.
