I wont be going over now - if it was 2 full strength sides then I would, but both teams are missing a lot of players (ours forced)

Heard Ben Crooks has had a protective boot on this week, if so I wouldn't play him, rather Horne played centre

Also would like to see Kent, Hadley and Bowden play,

29. Shaul - FB
14. Whiting - WG
23. Crooks - CE
4. Yeaman - CE
5. Briscoe - WG
16. Horne - SO
34. Miller - SH
20. Johnson - P
9. Houghton - HK
17. Watts - P
12. Tickle - SR
13. Westerman - SR
19. Pitts - LF

Subs:
6. Holdsworth
30. Hadley
22. Bowden
Kent/Green - Cant Pick

Crookes and Either Kent Or Green Miss Out For Me, and think horney should have a game with miller, i know DJ and miller will play together but i think DJ should go to the bench for this game.

Shaul
Crookes
Crooks/Horne
Yeaman
Briscoe
Holdsworth
Miller
Green
Houghton
Watts
Tickle/Kent
Westerman
Whiting
Subs
Pitts
Johnson
Bowden
Horne or Kent if Crooks and Tickle play if not Hadley

Just out of interest why would you drop Crookes?

i'll start by saying in no way i think he is a bad player but i just dont think he took his chances in the last few games he's played, and i just think whiting deserves a start more than crookes.

I'd go

FB - Shaul
WG - Crookes
CE - Crooks
CE - Yeaman
WG - Briscoe
SO - Horne
SH - Miller
PR - Green
HK - Houghton
PR - Watts
SR - Tickle
SR - Westerman
LF - Holdsworth

Subs:

IC1 - Hadley
IC2 - Whiting
IC3 - Bowden
IC4 - Kent

I'd keep Holdsworth on a Loose for this game to allow Miller and Horne to have a game together at 6+7 as K-Diddy said.

Tbf I'd agree with you mate if Lineham was fit. With the lack of experienced forwards available this week we need to keep Whiting in the 2nd row/13 IMO.

Wasn't me pal, BrianGriffin. Could we see Horne return as interchange hooker in place of Aaron? Not sure if he's played there for us before and if he was any good.

Run out of socks yet?

Well if they have any left they know where they can stick em.

Shaul
Crookes
Crooks
Yeamo
Briscoe
DJ
Milky
Watts
Houghton
Lynch
Ticks
Kent
Westy

Pitts
Whiting
Green
Horney

Should easily be enough against that Wigan side.

Lynch is out

Would go with:

Shaul
Crookes
Horne
Yeaman
Briscoe
DJ
Miller
Watts
Houghton
Green
Tickle
Whiting
Bowden

Subs
Pitts
Hadley
Johnson
Kent

My bad, Green starts then with Johnson on bench. Still easily good enough.

If we lose to that wigan team then gentle wants sacking on the spot

Good enough - Yes
Easily? - lets not get carried away, will still be a tough game

i was just an idea, instead of whiting playing in the forwards, give a youngster a try in 2nd/LF, and let whiting go to wing

Comprehensive ownage there, Sir/Madam.

It should be easily enough. Should.

I would think it will be a pretty low turn out from the fc fans, after last weekend people will choose to save their money

Did he tell you that himself ?

Don't think Crooks was ready last week so should be rested before St Helens. Whiting in at as his height will counter with Crookes and Horny at 13 for an extra ball handler on the pitch.

4 forwards on the bench but plenty of options available to tinker with things

No, he's not speaking to me since I threw his Christmas card in the bin when we lost to widnes

Why do idiots constantly harp on about playing half backs at 13?
