Topou play on left for Wakey? If so we have to play Webster at centre. Minikin and Clare would have a tough time.

No worse off than with Webster, his defence this year as dropped off a cliff

Surely we have to play Webster for his last chance to play at the Jungle so the fans can give him the send off he fully deserves.
Apart from that he is the best centre at the club, looked a little rusty last week but will be better for the run out.

Still better than what Minikins would be. They are good friends too so Topou may go easy on Webster for his last home game :D

Think we may play Minikin though with Webster kicking that goal last week.

Big will keeps being put in the frame, but never gets to play, DP must see somthing in the lad but may be not enough for him to play strange one is that

I’d play Webster but not for the same reasons. We are getting close to being an established top 4 team so have no room for sentiment to get in the way of success.

Is it just a case of Wil getting picked as we don't have any other fit forwards?

100% agree, nothing sentimental at all. Have to agree on Sticks, not sure what he has done to not be picked personally, it is for the injured player to force their way back in to the squad and for that to happen, the run on side have to make mistakes.

That's what DP gets paid for, getting us right at the right end of the season.

Who made the mistakes for Gale, Roberts and Jesse to get back into the team. Powell is trying to give them all game time
should we have to call on them, that is why Minikin will play either at center or on the wing.

Sticks has been superb in the last couple of games and I personally wouldn't drop him but he must have known when he was signed that he wasn't necessarily first choice and it is up to DP to decide who his strongest starting 17 are. If Minikin doesn't go well then Sticks will more than likely be back in.

Should be other way round, Minikin will get his chance if Clare messes up having made the most of the opportunity presented to him and made it his spot to lose

I'm not Minikins biggest fan compared to some people on here but it is Minikins position. Clare knew all along he was just a fill in option. If Minikin comes back at his normal level he will get his spot back.

Because we have to pick 19 and drop 2. Will is, and should always be one of the 2 based on what we have.
Can't see him in RL too long, not a dig, just doesn't seem to have anything that makes a decent player for me.

More likely Sharlos thought process. Gadwin, Wardle, Cook, Foster all injured so Maher next in line.
