I actually think that BJB looks as suspect as anyone under high bombs into the corners, so it's a little harsh to single out Watkins in that respect.'"
I saw that on the SLS and Watkins looks great going forward. My point was that if BJB and Hall start on the wing that would leave Watkins at centre where he has looked very suspect this season.

| Personally, I think it's a little harsh on the both of them, because I think they both are capable of producing stuff that can get the team going forward when it's needed, but although I prefer to see Delaney being utilised in the second row, Ablett has been fairly good these last few weeks in the centres, so I guess therein lies a big decision for McDermott to make for Sunday.

Indeed. Hauraki, Delaney, Ablett and Kirke....now that's a threequarter line we can be proud of

| Watkins may well become a regular at centre for seasons to come and has the potential to be a real star. I just think to play him there in a cup semi final after only 1 game back from injury and in a position where he has struggled defensively would be a brave decision.

| I guess the obvious choice at centre if Watkins is deemed to be a risk too far, is Smithy, and given his penchant for coming up with a match winning try to win a big game for us, not a bad choice!

Would you bet against it ? (We're halfway there already)
Next somebody will be seriously suggesting Smith ahead of Watkins and BJB

I would agree that Smith might get the wing spot, just for his safety as BJB under a cross field kick isn't safe at the moment.

| Watkins can look suspect in defence at times however he played in a under 20s game v the dulls couple weeks ago and was exceptional both in attack and defense I know its only the 20s and would expect him to stand out in attack but it was his defence that impressed me even though he scored a couple and set about 3 trys up he did some really good work in defense add to that how he played in the salford game then he should be garanteed a spot
think Mcshane will miss out as been told he will only feature for the 20s for rest of this season but will be playing 1st team all next season with a new hooking partner as Bedsy goin and Hood not ready yet

You give me an example of a high ball that Jones-Bishop hasn't dealt with on the wing and I'll give you those he did deal with against Hull in the quarter final two weeks ago. In addition Leeds probably don't have another winger that could beat Briscoe on the touchline and get the ball down for that crucial first score to drag Leeds back into the game.
I suspect Smith wouldn't have come close to getting the ball down in that spot.
(That's what I would do in any case, not sure what coach McDermott will do - not even sure he knows himself.)

| Surely Ali should have been there, he's looked better of late and then gets the bullett, what is Mac doing. Playing Hauraki and Ian Shirke and leaving a gamebeaker out in Ali who's looked better lately. Maybe just not getting a new contract so not picking him.

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

| Smith and McShane both played in the U20's today at Wigan so I don't think either will play tomorrow. McShane didn't come back after half time and had an ice pack on his leg.

Good news if Smith out tomorrow...must mean BJB on the wing with Watkins inside him.
Hall at left centre with late replacent Hardaker playing on left wing maybe
