Fully agree with this.
Walton can play second row, no problem and gives us some cover at centre.

Looks to be a bit of a passenger at times. Just my opinion when watching Wire on telly. Maybe he saves his best for non televised games?

I'm sure he'll have the game of his life against us.
In all seriousness, every team needs some steady players to go along side the superstars. Not being noticed at Warrington is probably a pretty good standard.

I'd have no issue with either - there isn't a player under 30 (diplomatic) in the team who doesn't deserve a chance, nine have let us down.

Crowther would be in for me. Never lets us down on the field. Very rarely misses a tackle too.
Plus, he doesn't deserve to be dropped after the Cas game. I think he missed like one tackle.
Yates and B.Tupou to miss for me.

All about opinions personnally i dont think jordan is good enough.cas game showed it only 2 things stick out where he dropped ball on 1st or 2nd tackle in there 20 and he misses moors on the line for his try.nothin against the lad just seen nothin in him

Watch it again, the two at the side of him let him over, plus how many have stopped Moors from 2ft out, regarding the dropped ball, just has he gathered it he was hit and admits it was a good hit. One dropped ball in 60 mins wasn't bad I don't think. I'd like t see the tackling stats for the whole team, I don't think he'll be far away, but like you say it's all about opinions

Patton, along with Kevin Penny, is playing for their reserves tonight so i think we can rule that one out.

| Quote ="The Dreadnought"I rate Jack Hughes, very athletic backrower - don't know much about the two King brothers though.'"
George has played quite a bit this year from subs bench and is a solid - but not lead - prop.
However he's only 21 and his performances are impressive for his age.
Toby (19,20 I think) played really well last year in a few games. He's played a couple of games so far this year but needs game time.
I'd like Penny to be outside Atkins on the left wing and Russell outside Evans on the right but I think Evans will be on the right wing and King right centre with Russell at left wing and Penny dropping out.
I really want Penny to play though - out and out speed.

That's how I see him going. I think he'll go with Yates over Jordan just for his experience and the fact he's a Prop and we need as much go forward as we can get on the field.

| Typical of our luck that Wire manage to get a virtually full strength squad out, just as we lose a load to injury.
Tough ask - but still good to be involved.

How many times do you think that will be mentioned in the commentary - iI'll go for zero.
However should Warrington have a last minute injury I guarantee they will be crippled by injury which will be mentioned every five munutes.

Correct. I actually think it's a shame we finished in 8th spot as 6th for me was far more representative of the efforts and skills on display this season.
That said I was one of the few loonies who publicaly stated we could finish 8th if we were incredibly lucky so as you say they are already winners.
As for tomorrow I suppose if Warrington turn up without the required team spirit we have a chance, problem is that if they do we probably don't

We look at our worst when Hughes isn't in the back row. Overall when we have our first choice 8-13 out we have probably one of the most athletic and mobile packs in the league. Currie and Hughes in the second row especially. Both solid and both will put 80 minutes in. Absolute machines.

As a neutral fan, when watching teams I like (eg Saints and Wire) guys who make the team look weak seem to stand out.
Conversely when watching Wigan and Cas everybody look like world beaters

| We can do it! Already beaten a few of the big boys this year when they were in-form.
We absolutely must complete our sets though, if we play like we did vs Cas then we will get walloped. Need to play the percentages and put the onus on them to make the errors.
Whichever way it goes, I'll be pleased for whoever progresses to the Final. Wire have been a good friend to us down the years, some great memories at Wilderspool and the HJ. If they progress, I hope they beat FC or Wigan in the final.

| Personally I think our injury 'crisis' is being pretty exaggerated. We're likely to line up something like:
Jowitt
BJB
Arundel
Lynne
Hall
Miller
Finn
Scruton
Moore
Fifita
Kirmond
A.Tupou
Sio
Anderson
Arona
Yates
B.Tupou
The spine of 1, 6, 7, 9, 13 is at full strength I'd say. The only first choice players we're missing are Johnstone, who while being excellent is hardly in a vital position, Ashurst who plays in a position we've got pretty good cover in and then a couple of props in England and Simon. Personally I would rather England be playing but I'm pretty ambivalent towards Simon, find him to be a massive liability at times with his poor discipline and therefore don't really see much difference between him and Anderson. So while we've got a few injuries it's certainly far from a crisis and definitely can't be used as an excuse should we lose. But I don't think we're gonna need any excuses because based on nothing other than a gut feeling I fancy us to win.
