You are Tony Smith and I claim my £5.

So if only one is missing out, does that means we will either playing with 14, or have 5 subs?

I think the team will be

Brett
Riley
Ryan
Ratch
Joel
Lee
Richie
Moz
Monas M or Mickey H
Gaz
Super Ben
Trent
Ben H

Mickey H or Monas M
Woody
Hilly
Tyke or Grix

I think Tyke will play because TS 'rested' him in the 2nd half against the Broncos

So Coops & Grix to miss out

Hodgson
Riley
Atkins
Ratch
Mona's
Briers
Myler
Hill
Higham
Morley
Waterhouse
Westwood
Harrison

Wood
Carvell
Mona's
Tyke

Thank christ for that!

ok, one of the ones missing out.....jeez, this board, some people are so padantic. Get a grip!!

The Wire team pretty much picks itself in the backs. Unfortunately we have only 1 recognised centre, so Ratchford fills the other place, instead of where I'd have preferred to see him, at half back. Mickey Monas would be better used as an impact sub, 20 minute spells as he is not fully fit.

As for Leeds, a lot depends on where Sinfield starts. At 6,7,9,13, I'd go, Ward, Burrow, Lunt and Sinfield at his best position of 13. If that weather forecast is to be believed, I'd expect 4/5 drives then the kick. At halfback, he is not half the player as he is at loose forward.

Brent Webb is no loss, as he is just a liability, as is Ryan Bailey, Leeds will be best served to leave him in the hotel, or at worst, on the bench.

Hill...............Leuluai
Higham.........Burrow

Westwood.....Delaney
Harrison........Bailey

Carvell..........Griffin
Monnaghan....Lunt
Wood...........Kirke
Grix..............Moore

Sorry, LW - couldn't resist

I would go with....

Hodgson
Riley
Ratchford
Atkins
J Monas
Briers
Myler
Hill
Higham
Carvell
Waterhouse
Westwood
Harrison

M Monas
Moz
Wood
Tyke


Can't bloody wait now

Why is Ryan Bailey a liability?

Because Bailey is mad as a box of frogs and a bully, with smaller players. I expect him to be wound up and giving penalties away - please!

He's only given 11 penalties all season.

How about, he throws away tries ? 2010 cc, when faced with diving for the try line he tried to bash Mathers, who got under his body and stopped him from scoring.

A good recent example there. He's having his best season in terms of try scoring in 2012 though.

Yeah good "recent" example there...a whole 2 years ago!

Ryan Bailey is in the form of his life at the moment.
I know it might be hard for some of you to grasp this but like it or not he is in fact a good player and his form this season proves it.
Yes, he might not have all the shillings up there but he's playing some great Rugby at the moment.

feel a bit sorry for grix but it was a toss of a coin between him and tyke...stroll on 2mrw

Both sides look evenly matched 1-13.
I think your bench is much stronger than ours and might tip the scales.
28-16 to Warrington
Atkins first try scorer
Myler MOM
