Two from McCarthy, Cooper and Solomona to miss out.

Apart from Ben Harrison, you would have to say that's our strongest possible side. Nice to see at the business end of the season.

Think Waterhouse is not 100% so another weeks rest. Also think Solo may make the 17 but really don't know who for???

Our strongest possible side would also include Chris Bridge

Carvell second row ....No Westwood

Westwood is at Hooker, Higham at prop...

What a great squad we have, although i know that Smithy is toying with resting Carvell as he has a bicep tear......hopefully not, hes been the best prop in the league for the past couple of months........

X 2 !!!

Not off this season's form !

Really good side that should pick up the 2 points (Hope so as, if my maths is correct, Wigan could win the LLS at the HJ if we lose).

As the confirmed 'Chris Bridge hater' on this Site, there's no surprise in you posting that.

Well we need to mix these positions around a bit. Personally I am disappointed nobody has suggested Ratch at prop. You are a very conservative lot on here.

Starting props of Ratchford and Riley sounds quality to me.

That's more like it.

Seriously though we do have a really strong, fit squad and I hope we can win at least one major this year. For the record, I simply forgot Bridge. I do think he is a top quality centre and hopefully he will be back to top form after an off season op.

Chris Bridge is a class centre, just really struggling with a knee injury at the moment. I think Smith might just give Ratchford a run at centre on Monday. If not, Simon Grix will play there.

I don't hate Bridge he was great last season but he is way off form and carrying a season ending injury. We have players whom are in form and fully fit so why would we put in a player who at this point is a liability when he's on the pitch !

You don't hate Bridge! Astounding after some of your previous posts. Bridge is a quality player when fully fit. Unfortunately at the moment he isn't.

Likely Saints team

Hate is a very strong word and not a word I would say that I think of any player who has represented the famous Wire ! So no I don't and never have hated Bridge ! He has only impressed me consistently last season he has never played that well before or after that ! He my turn out to be a one season wonder and off this season's form and the injury he has I think he should think long term and have the Op now ! We have many players that can fill in for him ! He imo needs to look at Ryan Atkins and try to get within 100 miles of his constant quality if he meaning Bridge can't get to the same quality level we should look for someone who can ! That doesn't mean I hate Bridge just that I love the wire's and I want the best in every position and I believe that there are better players than Bridge in that position

And Bridge is not even playing.
Who is Briefs? Have you been watching too much women's beach volleyball
