Four half backs, five if you count Tomkins. Can understand Williams to gain experience, luke gale for cover/competition but Matty Smith? Really hope Zak's at 1, Tomkins at 7. Widdop at 6.

Given that he's picked 4 HB's I'd guess that means he's planning on playing Tomkins at FB. With only two proper centres (although Bateman can play there too) then we might see Hardaker at centre if Watkins' injury prevents him from playing.

Only 1 saints player in the squad. I would have rather seen Savelio given a squad place than Ferres or Westwood. Last chance saloon for McNamara.

Three from Leeds, six from Wigan. I'm ok with that. Would rather Watkins got his ankle sorted and Hall got a rest lol.

Picked out elsewhere the same 2 forwards myself for the odd selections !! Savelio yes would have been a better call for starters
