With Charnock and Speakman playing i think it's right Wellens plays fullback. Im not Pauls biggest fan but with 2 lads making debuts in key positions i think experience is needed on Friday at 1.

So id guess at

Wellens
Gardner
Jones
Turner
Meli
Charnock
Wilkin
Laffranchi
Speakman
Walmsley
Sia
Manu
Flanagan

Perry
Puletua
Clough
Ashe

Wrong

I forgot LMS, So him in with either Manu or Sia out!

Ashe is starting hooker

Sia has his court case this week so I doubt he will be playing.

Do you think that will stop sia from playing ?

Sia would play with broken leg if he could.

Charnock

Sia
Clough

LMS
Perry
Speakman
Puletua

If he is in court tomorrow then I would imagine it would be very difficult for him to prepare. He's been in court this week; read the transcript in the Star today.

He's in the 17, that's for sure.

That means very little.

Blimey! I'm not even gonna guess what the team'll be.

FFS - how often do you want him to name the team days before. You spend half youre living life on here so im sure ur already aware of that fact. If St.Pete says hes in the 17 then hes in the 17.
You'd argue the flipping sky is green you, just for the sake of it. Give it a rest zzzzzz

so do your opinions, he's got a job to do and he'll do it

???

Sorry for being a bit thick, but who has got a job to do?
St Pete? Sia?

Your opinions likewise.

I wasn't accusing him of not doing a job. Where did I do that? Having to attend a trial must be very difficult and I would imagine that Saints will be extremely sympathetic to that. Or do you think Saints would be tough gits and tell him to work regardless? Personally, I don't.

From what he is saying on Twitter then he is certainly going to be at the match as he's wanting to have a snowball fight.

The trial won't be difficult for him, they did it, there's CCTV, he's a big man and they wouldn't dare try it one on one. He'll play

Sia is top class guy off the pitch and loves it at saints. As I've said in another post, he's play with a broken leg if he could.

Our recruitment over the years hasn't been the best but sia has been a great signing.

Is it a full moon or something? Saints fan are you looking to have maximum forum barnies this weekend, you do seam to be taking on all comers at the moment?

Is Makinson definately out? I thought he had been brought in as the kicker. Will this go to Turner?

What?

All I did was suggest that Sia may not play because he is involved in the trial - a very difficult time for him. What the heck is wrong with talking about that exactly?

Maybe you should take up with those people who put stuff in my posts that isn't there instead of just using any excuse to have a go.

God knows, Charnock can kick too.

If he doesn't kick we have lost the plot! very good kicker! though percival didnt kick when he was in despite nobody else looking like hitting a cows backside

Ding ding. Round 4!
