Wolves 19-man squad: Ryan Atkins, Daryl Clark, Jordan Cox, Ben Currie, Brad Dwyer, Rhys Evans, Kurt Gidley, Chris Hill, Jack Hughes, Benjamin Jullien, George King, Kevin Penny, Stefan Ratchford, Matty Russell, Chris Sandow, Ashton Sims, Joe Westerman, Ben Westwood, Sam Wilde.

No Lineham, Bailey or Ormsby from last weeks squad.....

Good squad , Russell in for Lineham , Penny in for Ormsby ,, good to have Jack Hughes back , Bailey rested.

Smith clearly sees Penny & Russel as the best wing options he has - can't really argue with that

Looks about right , I think Julienn missed a few tackles last week and probably needs a rest

Julien might be injured. He didn't come back on after going off in the first half iirc

I'm still not 100% about Sims. When along side an injured Hill, vs Dull, Sims was poor. Hill's weight carries Sims at times and it was all there to see. A fit Hill helps paper over Sims cracks as a prop.

I'm happy to see Cooper back and I think that will probably set Sims to a backrower/prop as is Westwood now.
I've total made up my mind now, I've given Sims enough time to win me over as a prop. He's a backrower that can do the odd stint as prop.

He'll likely look great at prop v Cats with a strong team around him, but I can see the woods through the trees.
Don't get me wrong his commitment and talk is far superior to anyone in the team. He just doesn't put in the big hits, almost always an accomplice in the defence and I can't recall him ever breaking a tackle.

I await the purest backlash.
