SAINTS have announced their 19-man squad for Sunday's First Utility Super League match against Castleford Tigers.
Jon Wilkin, Adam Swift and Lance Hohaia are recalled to the side but Alex Walmsley is unavailable through suspension.
Nathan Brown will choose from:
2. Tommy Makinson 3. Jordan Turner, 5. Adam Swift, 6. Lance Hohaia, 7. Luke Walsh, 8. Mose Masoe, 9. James Roby, 10. Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook, 11. Sia Soliola, 12. Jon Wilkin, 13. Willie Manu, 15. Mark Flanagan, 17. Paul Wellens, 22. Mark Percival, 24. Gary Wheeler, 26. Matty Dawson, 27. Greg Richards, 28. Luke Thompson, 33. Andre Savelio.
The game kicks off at 3pm and the referee will be Richard Silverwood.
Mind games from Brown? I am sure he said Wilkin and Swift weren't quite ready.

Josh Jones missing but no mention of why.
I expect something like this, assuming all 19 are fit:
Wellens
Makinson
Turner
Percival
Swift
Hohaia
Walsh
Masoe
Roby
LMS
Soliola
Manu
Wilkin
Richards
Thompson
Savelio
Flanagan
Wheeler and Dawson missing out.
If it was up to me then LMS and Dawson would miss out with Wheeler at 6, Hohaia on the bench and Richards or Thompson starting.

Saveilo and Richards I think will not make the team. If all the above are fit and well to play.

Can't see it, we're short of props so Savelio and Richards will get some game time.
Dawson won't play if Swift is fit and I'd guess Wheeler may be the other to miss out as Percival moves to the Centre. |

Yep. I think it will be 2 of Wilkin, Swift, Dawson or Wheeler to miss out. |

I'll be disappointed if Savelio doesn't get a run out.

How would you fit in Dawson, Makinson, Swift, Hohaia, Wheeler, Percival and Turner, bearing in mind Wellens will be at 1? |

Doubtful, I think he's highly rated by Brown (and rightly so). Must have a knock surely. |

Wheeler and Dawson to miss out for me.
We are weakest in the pack from all accounts so a back on the bench is a luxury we can do without. Ram them with forwards. If there is a problem in the backs we will have to play a second rower at centre.
I was tempted to go with Dawson ahead of Turner given Turners run of form, but I've no idea whether he can play both centre positions equally.

I put wheeler on the bench. It's not to have a back on the bench, I'd use hohaia in the same way the pie eaters used Leuleui a couple of years ago, by bringing on wheeler for Roby and moving hohaia into hooker. Gives us opportunity to rest Roby and have cover should problems occur in the backs... |

Can't say I'm massively disappointed by the omission of Josh Jones as he was you best player by a country mile at our place. Has he lost a bit of form or is he injured?
