Time to move on and this game is massive for us now, we really need to get back on the horse and what better way than beating Saints. I'm pretty sure both sides will need no motivation for this one and I expect it to be a cracker. I would hope for a 14k+ crowd for this one and a 24-18 victory.

They are no great shakes and have problems all over the pitch.We need to shake it up a bit.Are any players back for this 1...didnt i read yeaman maybe back.If so id go with

Russell
Sharp
Crooks
Yeaman if not Turner
Briscoe
Horne
Seymour
Moa
Houghton
Lynch
Tickle
Manu
Westerman

Aspinwall
Whiting
Bowden
Turner/O'carroll/Kent

I think Yeamans a bit off yet. St's have their problems but they'll be smarting after their stultification at the hands of their close rivals.

Big chance this year to finish at least 5th.

Not overally impressed with leeds, Saints or Hudds.

Think the top three will be Wigan, Warrington and Catalans in that order.

Win the next two games and we should be 4 points above Saints and 7 above Leeds (if they lose their next two, which I think they will).

Not overly keen on Pitts, Ok, good defence but not seen too much, so would give his starting place to Westerman.

Is Heremaia fit.

Wont be playing for a least another month i think

I thought I'd heard July.

Im sure I read he was hoping to back for the Wire away game

heard he could be in contention for Wire game, so 24th June near enough another month

we really should just pay him off, not his fault I know, but carrying a player for 2/3 of a season isn't helping anyone.

Did he sign for 2 or 3 years.

2 and a option of a 3rd.

I can't see him qualifying for the 3rd now he'll have to come into amazing form when fit.

Got told by Scotty Yeaman Kirk has an outside chance.

Turner very kucky to be in, he needs a big game.

He should have ten games this season plus whatever playoff games we have and all of next barring anymore injury. So I don't think its cut and dry yet.

Whiting back. Massive plus!

We need to see a massive performance from our forwards. They were poor against KR (compared to their usual standard), but if our pack gets on top in this game then we will win it.

I have no doubts, if Rich had played at the weekend we would've won. Fact!

He influences games, purely by doing the simple things very very effectively: Man and ball tackles, crash tackles, interceptions, coupled with his attacking vision.

Oh and if nothing else we could've got him to run into Ganson *spit*

Wonder if he could play 6,when he's fit?

Whiting in at 6

Crooks in for Martin

Horne to the bench.

Ridiculously harsh, it is hardly his fault that the medical advice was initially to not receive surgery and let his neck heal,which has wasted several weeks of his season.

From the brief bits we saw of him in the 'friendly' derby he will add some much needed pace to the side, and more importantly will give Houghton a break.

And that for me is so vital. Danny dictated everything we did in the 1st 20mins, running from acting half with consummate ease, all to no avail. We need to be able to tap into this later in the game when the fat forwards are flagging. He also suffers (understandably) from fatigue due to his massive work rate and teams targeting him.
Hopefully a fully fit Heremaia will add a new dimension to our play, after all, this is why we signed him

@KirkYe4mo

Good news been to see foot surgeon tonite all positive, can't wait to get back.

Why would anyone want Whiting at '6'? Even though he was named there he didn't play there.
