Just can't see Liley wasted on bench for this one.

In that case Sam Tomkins is available for Wigan.

Never registered with you. However, more fitting for Leeds and which I can't understand is that Clarkson is still a Leeds player, and he would certainly fit in straight away as a replacement for Ward. Been there and done it previously. To me would make perfect sense to use him. Didn't Saints do exactly that with Matty Smith against us a few years back?

Wouldn't it be the same issue as someone mentioned with Minchella in that he's played in the Super/Middle 8's for someone else?

Plus by his Twitter he's getting his nose fixed because it went all Shaun Briscoe in a recent game.

Is Achurch still injured? If he is fit and not selected ahead of Lillley or Walters then it must surely mean he won't be around next season. Mullally looks like a replacement to play that type of role. I agree with the concerns about trying to beat wigan with 16 or even worse 15 - no chance. You need some power off bench v wigan. Subs in 2007 grand final Ali l, bailey, Ablett and kirke. Could we get kirke back for another swan song ?

Achurch still a doubt with a hand injury. Guess we'll have to wait until Thursday for the 19 to be announced for further clues to the 17.

What's the news on Delaney?
50/50?

Delaney looks like he plays 50/50 most weeks! can't see him not playing Saturday.

Delaney and Watkins would not play if it was a run of the mill league game , both will play with pain killing injections apparently . As usual that comes from a good source .

I would expect Watkins to play then declare himself unavailable for the internationals at the end of the season. he needs to get his ankle problem sorted out.

Shaun Wane will be reading this and putting "Target Watkins Ankle" on the Board.
