I can only assume that Riddell has overcome his injury.

If we'd been down to one hooker, it would have been inconceivable even for Noble not to play Sam T.

i agree but you never know with noble

What's up with Paul Prescott?

Swap Hansen round with Hock

Indeed i did corrected shortly.

Do we really want to be playing Pyrce against their so called "pacy backs".

First competitive game back from injury and looked slow in pre season

no way pryce will play seeing him at leigh he was a million miles of being fit hope ainscough gets a strt

Pryce and Ainscough to miss with Vailey moving to centre and Goulding pushed out onto the wing.

New signing?

Thought Vaealiki was back for a minute




I'll be very disappointed if we see that line up especially if it means Coley coming back into the 17. Ainsough is young and inexperiance but he is an out and out winger so should get a chance to show what he's got.

Not Stirring the Poop by any chance are you???

I'd have had Prescott in above Coley but a second rower has to be dropped to make way for Coley because we need the extra prop in there. The balance of the side hasn't been right in the opening 2 games. I'd leave Bailey out anyway but seeing as he picked up a knock in the Hull game he may miss out anyway.

Good shout.

I meant Bailey.

Got to have either Ainscough or Pryce in the xvii, but i feel it will be both of these two who will miss out.

No plan B again, by the looks of it.

Personally I agree with 'jonh' that McIlorum should begin the game as Riddell has taken a knock but somebody of Riddell's stature coming onto the pitch as the Castleford side tire could allow us to open up more holes and offload in better positions.

I have always preferred Tomkins, a far more creative and smarter-thinking player than O'Loughlin to play at Loose with O'Loughlin doing his part within the 2nd row.

Hansen to start on the bench and to come on fresh and shore up the defence if leaky with Feka to punch some holes and Hock to add more attacking flair later in the game.

Not that the team will be anything like this however.

Harrison Hansen has to start this game in the back row along with Joel Tomkins.

Gareth Hock to come off the bench for impact.

This is if Bailey doesnt make it, if he does, I'd start Bailey and have both Joel and Hocky on the bench.

Hansen was top tackler in SL last year, yet he cant get in our back row with our leaking defence at the moment - do the maths Nobby.

Your not going to change his mind on that one I dont think, Bailey will always be in before Hanson.

Hansen and Tomkins were our best 2 backrowers last season and they were also the best 2 in pre season along with Sean O'Loughlin yet both are starting on the bench and why? to me because it's the easiest option for Noble that won't rock the boat.

The boat needs to be rocked i'm afraid.

Agree with Bridger.

That would be my team.

I really hope Ainscough gets a game. Can't believe Sam is still not given a shot though. Would have liked to see him come on to partner Smithy with Lulu going to 9
