peoples thoughts on who they think the team will consist of on sunday or who they think would be the best selection in our current circumstances?

I'd go with:

1 - Donlan
2 - Alstead
3 - Higson
4 - Nanyn
5 - Stanton (if fit?)
6 - Hartley
7 - Paul
8 - Hill
9 - Duffy
10 - Nash
11 - Taylor
12 - Leuluai/Armitstead
13 - Goulden

Bench
Durbin
Morrison
Leuluai/Armitstead
Meekin

No Bibey Taylor or Duffy according to reporter.

this was exactly why I didn't post my own team I'm unsure who's fit, who's not & who's injured. Dave MCconnell & Jamie Durbin aren't on the promo video & with Nicky Stanton's car crash I really haven't got a clue wot's going on with the whole team & who is available someone enlighten me please

Millward says that apart from those i mentioned above the rest of the 18 players he will use and will be who he feels will give him the strongest squad ,also Robbie, Hartley at half back,Steve Nash and Tommy Goulden in the pack .Does that help you

Thanks well with your update heres my starting 13 -

1 - Donlan
2 - Mort
3 - Alstead
4 - Nanyn
5 - Stanton
6 - Hartley
7 - Paul
8 - Hill
9 - McConnell
10 - Nash
11 - Armistead
12 - Higson
13 - Goulden

fullback - donlan
wings - mort & maden
centres - nanyn & alstead
half backs - hartley & paul
hooker - riyard
props - hill and nash
2nd rows goulden & leuluai
loose fwd - armistead
subs - duffy, mcconnell, cuniffe, higson, meekin, aiscough, stanton (if allowed extra subs)

No Duffy, Wayne if the Reporter is to be believed (though your selection would leave us with three hookers anyroad if you're planning on starting Riddy at 9).

wait and see

Wayne gave you the team Ian gave out at tonight LISA meeting, Ridyard starts at hooker

IM stated we currently have a squad of only 21 players.

They will all play on Sunday except Jimmy Taylor Jamie Durbin and Rick Bibey.

Any new additions will be loan players reading between the lines I assumed he mean,t one from Wigan and 3 more from Warrington I'd guess.

Re our weaknesses he said second row and outside backs I think you may gather from that who any loan players might be.

He didnt mention where these player s were from Frank did he?

I trust in Millward , just get them playing good rugby Ian , thats all we want

well he's keeping his cards close to his chest if that is his team.he's certainly not showing our championship rivals his best team or the players best positions

Well no he did not but as I said I was listening to what he said and that is how I interpreted it. I don,t say I,m right I just got that impression from what he said. Time will tell..............

i'm not very good at guessing can you give us a couple of clues

Well if I,m right I,d say 2 wingers or 2 centres and a back row forward. I know thats 5 so I,d discount one of the wingers or centres.

but who might they be frank i dont keep an eye on either club

If your loaning any of our players the only ones I could see going out are Kevin Penny, Matty Blythe, Lee Mitchell and Adam Neal.

kevin penny sounds good he's one of the 3/4 players widnes had on loan last season who helped them win a trophy.dont know anything about the other lads though

Donlan
Mort
Higson
Nanyn
Alstead
Hartley
Paul
Hill
Ridyard - Ian can spot a hooker ya know


Nash
Goulden
Lulu
Armistead

Missing Taylor, Bibey, Duffy, Stanton hurts us

Subs Meekin, Cunniffe, Maden, Hopkins, Ainscough, Nicholson

Think the Ridyard selection is very interesting, personally.

Duffy and Mc Connell have both been under treatment, John was an injury he was carrying form last year, so thats why hes only having a short run out and Jocks had surgery in the close season, Durbins had surgery on his hand so I presume Ridyard covering this position for the meantime till the others are fullyfit.

do you not think the position of hooker is well covered?

Well Durbin, Duffy and Mc Connell have all been unavailable
