The returning players need gametime even though its tough in others who have stepped up. Clark and sticks to miss out.

JSL and minikin played a few minutes, tough on sticks he had a stormer.

Agree. Shame Sticks was hauled off, poor recognition for the contribution which was worth a potential 12 points. I'd have taken Webster off and let Greg have 10 mins in centre, if centre is his future.

^^ Agree Gateman. I've been trying to think of any reasons to replace Clare and I can't think of any - he's done a cracking job. Clark would be in my 17 with everyone fit on current form anyway. Webster is the one i'd be 50/50 on. I'm a massive fan of Jake and think he deserves a proper send off, but he has just lost his edge in defence. He is still a handful going forward, but he has dropped off more one on one tackles this year than I've seen him drop off in the rest of the time he's been here put together. He just hasn't had that sharpness in defence this year. I'd like to see him return to the club when his Bradford contract is finished though, in some community capacity - the game needs people like Jake, a genuinely fantastic bloke who always has time for anybody.

Agree with most on here it was unfair for Clare to come off. I've always liked Clare from his first stint with us. I remember the away game at Hull where he had a stinker and he's improved massively since then. Solid defender and he has shown when played this year he can score tries and his contribution on returning the ball is decent. Has made a fair few breaks in midfield for us aswell. Hope he keeps his place.

If Clare gets dropped this week for minikin it will only be to give the later game time, rather than ability. The lad has been great this year.
