Clarkson would allow Sinny to 6 and Mags to 7 and Burrow to 9 so we could spell Buderus if he needs it.

Disko in the 19 and presumably the 17. You heard it here first

Nah it was on his twitter page t`other day

Imo Webb should be dropped. Hes not done anything to warrant his selection

As should the majority of the team then - most of them aren't in the best of form.

As our only out and out genuine match winner in the backs, then Smith would have to be in it somewhere.

He may well have been sluggish and out of form in two or three of the games, but he is till a match winner out of nothing.

I would also go back to basics and put Burrow back in at scrum half. I moaned about him at the start of the season, but I thought he was one of our best players on Friday, and I have seen nothing the Mcguire Sinfield partnership to give me confidence.

The forwards should be picked on the fittest available, as I don't think there was much of a problem with the forwards on Friday, just the backs.

Same for me about back to basics.

McGuire and Burrow do the full 80 in the halfs with Sinfield at 13 to give the bit more space and time he needs with the ball.

Buderus & Diskin only at 9

2nd row is a little light for me, no Eastwood and probably no Ali or Ablett, as much as I like Clarkson he is still a bit lightweight.

Not sure about Smith, I don't see what he could have offered on friday what we didn't already have but then again this is a semi final and Smith was made for these kind of games.

Any defence of Donald from Friday is crazy IMO. Not that he was alone in the backs. But Smith would have been an improvement on any of the backs Friday.

And you are right, Smith is made for these kind of games, proven many times previously.

JJB I believe may be called up before the beak along with Joel Tomkins for their part in the Ablett afters.

He won't get any more than a warning for that I don't think.

Not seen much of Smith this season, but he appears to have lost his edge/fitness and gained a few pounds since his spell in the other game? Having said that, I would prefer him not to play, simply becasue of the way he has done for Saints in the last couple of GFs, he certainly seems to have the "X" factor in our games.

Whats the point, we won't win.

Oh yeah, great attitude that is

I'll be shocked if we keep them under 40 and we register more than 2 points.
