Must admit better squad than I thought we would be putting out who will play fullback Riley? Always the case as soon as Hodgeson got a knock he would be rested I suppose Ben will be back kicking

Ryan Atkins, Matty Blythe, Chris Bridge, Lee Briers, Garreth Carvell, Jon Clarke, Rhys Evans, Simon Grix, Ben Harrison, Mickey Higham, Tyrone McCarthy, Lee Mitchell, Joel Monaghan, Michael Monaghan, Richie Myler, Chris Riley, David Solomona, Ben Westwood, Paul Wood

Some interesting choices this week. Having read that the Monaghan boys might not play etc, it is hard to decide on a line-up from that 19-man squad.

IF (and it's a big IF) all the players are fit though in the 19, then we could line-up something like this...

Chris Riley

Joel Monaghan
Chris Bridge
Matty Blythe
Ryan Atkins

Lee Briers
Richie Myler

Paul Wood
Michel Monaghan
Garreth Carvell

Ben Westwood
Ben Harrison
Simon Grix

Subs:
David Solomona
Jon Clarke
Mickey Higham
Rhys Evans

To miss out:
Tyrone McCarthy
Lee Mitchell

There's so many options though which is great and shows our squad strength.

Considering we are without Morley, King, Cooper, Anderson, Hodgson, it is a strong 19.

No Moz or Bret - I'd maybe go with:

1.Chris Riley/Joel Monaghan
2.Chris Riley/Joel Monaghan
3.Ryan Atkins
4.Chris Bridge
5.Rhys Evans
6.Lee Briers
7.Richie Myler
8.Paul Wood
9.Michael Monaghan
10.Garreth Carvell
11.Ben Westwood
12.David Solomona/Jon Clarke
13.Simon Grix

David Solomona/Jon Clarke, Ben Harrison, Mickey Higham, Matty Blythe

Whichever way he goes, a little light on the bench - so may go with Solomona off the bench?

Anybodys guess at the starting 17 for Friday, here goes......

1 Riley
2 Evans
3 Atkins
4 Blythe
5 J Monaghan
6 Briers
7 Myler
8 Carvell
9 M Monaghan
10 Harrison
11 Westwood
12 Mitchell
13 Grix


14 Wood
15 Solomona
16 Higham
17 Clarke

Bridge and McCarthy to miss out

Penny, Murphy, George, Korkidas, Rinaldi, King, Henderson, Morrison, Lee, P. Johnson, Dean, Mariano, Howarth, Veivers, Wildie, Hyde, G. Johnson, Griffin, Amor.

Here is the Wakefield squad. I think there is only Morrison who would get into your side. However anything can happen on Friday night.

I'd go with that. However, I'd swap Evans and Bridge, first inclusion back after injuiry, I think Bridge will start on the bench.

Where did you hear that?

Personally i would go with

Evans
Riley
Atkins
Blythe
J. Monas
Briers
Myler
Wood
Higham
Carvell
Solomona
Westwood
Grix

Clarke
Harrison
Mitchell
Bridge

Think this could be the perfect time to see what evans can do at full back since quite a few people are tipping him to fill hodgson's boots when he leaves.

i'd go with that

It's been mentioned in a couple of threads on here over the past couple of days.

It may well be rubbish though!

Been said on a previous thread that Bridge will appear at FB tomorrow. If both Monaghan's are missing then that could well be spot on. Can't see him or Blythe out on the wing personally.

Bridge

Evans
Blythe
Atkins
Riley

Briers
Myler

Carvell
Clarke
Wood
Westwood
Grix
Solomona

Higham
Harrison
McCarthy
Mitchell

that is still a very imposing team. Hope it does come out like that. There is an added unknown

Bridge
Monaghan
Atkins
Evans
Riley
Briers
Myler
Harrison
Monaghan
Carvell
Grix
Westwood
Solomona

Higham
Wood
Mitchell
Blythe

I can't see why he would put Bridge at FB when Riley was understudy last year, why would he drop down the pecking order and Bridge suddenly become back up fullback.

I would've thought that Riley or even Rhys have more experience than Bridge at FB. All this said, I think as a stand in, he would be dangerous from there, I think he's dangerous from anywhere but when he's spent years finding his position, sort of shedding the utility tag, it wouldn't make sense to shift him for me.

Fullback isn`t a position that you would want to play a player at thats returning from a muscle tear especially a player who isn`t familiar with the position, fullback these days is a fairly testing position to play as you rarely get a breather.

In attack your constantly following the play as a support runner and quite a few of the modern day full backs play as an extra half back, in defence your constantly moving about following the path of the ball, also you get constantly turned round with kicks where you have to chase after the ball then return it with interest.

Nothing against Mickey but not sure what he is providing that Clarke can't. And he always drops in a daft knock-on and/or penalty.

Would prefer to see Mitchell or McCarthy given a chance, which would give us more options in the forwards.

Evans starts on the wing tomorrow.

re-flipping-sult

Really, so what's the backline?

I didn't think Atkins would play, I thought Bridge would be back but not Atkins, part of me wanted him not to be back to have another look at Evans at centre.

Riley
Blythe
Bridge
Atkins
Evans

My guess.

Yeah that is what I'd guess, although what about Joel?

I'll go with the assumption that both Monas aren't playing, that was the vibe on here right ?

I can't see that myself. That would then mean that Mitchell and McCarthy come in, from last weeks game we only lost Moz (out of the forwards), but we already have cover in Harrsion, so that would be a strange one for me.
