Hardly a great match to give a debut to a part time lad though is it? Any other game and maybe you're right.

It's a real shame Crookes is out as this period would've been his big chance.

As good as Gidley is, it's not so much his try scoring as the tries he creates for that lump of lard outside him. It's stopping him doing that which is the difficulty. If I was MIck or FA I would be putting my lolly on Gilmour for a couple tonight, as he is likely to be in the centres.

We can't afford for Platt to play at centre or full back the way he is performing this season, his tackling is awful. He'd be better placed on the wing IMO.

I don't think Halley would be a bad option at centre (at least he can tackle), and if Hyde is as good as he's cracked up to be he should slot in at fullback.

Langley might even operate reasonably at centre, but that might cause more problems in the pack!

Not big enough. See Ashley Gibson at Leeds.

Size is a mind game. He's more than big enough to play at centre, he proved so when he was about the only player on the park against Wire that could take Morley one-on-one.

Likelihood is Gidley not playing, which should save you about 12 points in all honesty.

Gilmour will almost certainly play left centre with Wheeler, Dean, Foster down the right is my guess.

Saints by 18 -20 rather than 30 if no Gidley.

Aye, they may as well rest him for the bigger games!

Saints resting players when they play the Bulls?

Just like the good old days...



Or then again... =whitemight be the only way we have a chance but better not pursue this line of thought and face charges of screaming breathtaking hypocrisy...

You think? Langers has been poor recently. When was the last time he broke a tackle?

Sol would only be able to play SO in spells, then Menzies or Sykes to fill in, then Cook to centre?

I think they should all have 5 minutes at SO then rotate round one place. That will keep Saints on their toes.

Agreed. He's gone really downhill in recent times. I actually think he'd be better off used as a prop to be honest, but either way, he ain't a centre.

In fact, do people not remember Langley playing at centre for a few games a few seasons back? He was very much the fish out of water.

Please play Platt in the centres.

Put a couple of tackle bags in the centres, they couldn't do much worse.

Who was totally out of position for the first Warrington try.

The difference then was that they would rest players when they didnt fancy playing us and wanted an excuse when they got beat. Now I suspect they probably think they can rest players and still beat us comfortably.

Not quite right,

There was a time where as a Saints fan, I used to write off the trip to Odsal as a defeat so consequently the side we put out literally didn't matter.

Now, Bradford are a shadow of what they were and as you say, I suspect tonight we could put Wheeler, Eastmond, Dean, Lomax and Frodsham starting and we'd probably win.

Terrible what has happened to the Bulls, an example to all really.

Agree with you partly, but we will be there again in a few years, Building for the future

.

Please tell me the last class centre under 5'10".

So take that and stick it up your condescending sporran, you arrogant toerag

You certainly knew what you were talking about. Jog on, you arrogant, big-headed fool.

So your a Scottish Gymnast..how good are you..?
Can you now crawl up your own and still have one hand free to feed your mouth with humble pie?

Well, as SS can't bring himself to do it in this thread, elsewhere he has put:


It's OK peeps - we won, but only against the worst performing Saints team in years.
