I would give Hodgson a run out in the Under 20's on Saturday. He hasn't played since September and Ratchford has done ok at full back in his absence. No point in rushing him back. I would also start Carvell from the bench as Paul Wood did nothing wrong last week and Carvell makes a great impact prop. I think TS will bring Higham back.


Team for me would be:

1 Ratchford
2 Monaghan
3 Bridge
4 Atkins
5 Evans
6 Briers
7 Myler
8 Morley
9 Monaghan
10 Wood
11 Westwood
12 Waterhouse
13 Cooper

14 Carvell
15 Hill
16 Blythe/McCarthy
17 Higham

I think this is the perfect opportunity for TS to show that no player is guarenteed a shirt, i'd leave Ratchford where he is, if his form tails off then we have Hodgson waiting in the wings.

Yeh we need his goalkicking at present but whats suprised me in recent times is why isn't Chris Bridge taking the kicks ? He was kicking them from all over the place last season, what was that run he went on where he didn't miss for a fair while ?

Im sure it was 21 or 22 consecutive kicks.. baffles me why he doesn't kick.

He had an op in the off season (hence his unavailability for England) so I think that's the reason he's not currently taking kicks.

Also Ben Harrison wrote on Facebook that his injury is not as bad as first thought so it will be interesting to see the diagnosis.

I see..

If i remember correctly Chris Hicks was the same.
