Bowden in.

Right centre is still the issue to me.
Batch or Croft.
Not Minns

I would suggest Batchelor because Toulouse will put Armitage against Croft and he is not strong enough to stop him.

It’s going to be warm so I’d start with a big pack and take as much out of Toulouse as possible then look to speed up the pace by bringing on some more mobility in the pack.

Batchelor to right centre where he can cause trouble with his size, shore up the defence and be a support for Evans

Shame Taufua isn’t already here as a right side with Tanginoa, Taufua & Evans has some size and power about it
Jowitt
Evans
Batchelor
Hall
Murphy
Miller
Lino
Fifita
Bowes
Whitbread
Tanginoa

Arona

Hood
Crowther

Bowden

Got to agree. Since Lyne has been out the only player to play well at right centre is Batch.

Team pretty much picks itself but on a hard pitch in sunny weather I hope we give a nippy 9 like Bowes a shot from the bench.

I'd go with same players but I'd have Tanginoa off the bench and Arona at prop.

I’d interchange Walker and Bowes at 9 - Hood nowhere near good enough to deserve a starting spot.

Also a bit concerned Minns is back in the 21 man squad another one not good enough for this level.

I don’t think Arona is a prop, he’s a middle, subtle difference but I think his bast form has always been from 13

Cannot see the point in naming Minns in the squad. Willie would be crazy to risk playing him ever again let only in this crucial game.

Batch has to play right centre - we are way too weak down that side and need a good defender - Lino and croft together is a shambled toulouse will target that side, just like wigan did

Agree with comments about batch hes be a miss at 13 but neddz must and unless he does him for speed armatyge wont hat find it as easy to break through batch as croft
