Still no Ashton, so Taylor-Wray or Lindop on the wing.

Yeah I'd go with Lindop. I'd probably go Tai in the centres. So for me

Dufty

Tai

Lindop
Williams
Drinkwater
Vaughan

Harrison not in the squad.

A minimum of 4 changes from last week (Hayes, Russell, Harrison and Crowther).

I'd like to see Lindop involved but its also a decent game to give Tai a run, he's played wing before I think?

Any shouts for Ratchord at 7 ahead of Drinkwater?

Not from me. Go for a like-for-like replacement - keep it simple.
I think Burgess has done the sensible thing by resting a couple of forwards this week too. No disrespect to Hull - who might be showing a few signs of improvement, judging purely by last week's result - but it's still the obvious game in which to do it.

Appreciate the heads up SHW, I'd swap Philbin for Harrison.

I did consider it in my suggested team above but then remembered Stefs pattycake with Lafai last week and though, Drinkwater needs to get a chance he's in the shop window now and needs to up his game.

I hope his kicking for distance improves and he keeps it simple I'm attack letting Williams and Dufty run the plays.

in the absence of Hayes, Drinkwater has to start surely?

Rather we played Shirley

I suspect Tai will be in the centres with Lindop on the wing.
(Must have missed it but has Russell been dropped or is he injured?).
Drinky at 7
Ratch 18th man
I'd start with Vaughan and Musgrove. Philbin seems to make his best plays coming on after 20 min.
Bullock, Wood and Powell fill the bench with Joe.
