yep, not much impact from the bench apart from Roby.

I would start with Clough or Dixon in the back row, and have TP on the bench.

Cloughy can do long spells without needing a breather, and doesn't give much impact - he is a grafter, so I would go with him from the start.

TP coming on after 25mins when Fielden and Coley start to get tired and go off could be immense.

Emmitt provided decent impact from the bench against Huddersfield, made some good yards.

I'd have Puletua, Roby, Emmitt as 3 of the 4 on the bench to start with.

Andre 'the giant' Dixon?

oh the happy days of tv wrestling

I would be suprised if Gardner wasnt back in the squad. We look alot better with him on the wing and Meli in centre.

I'd have said that too, Gardner was playing pretty well before he got left out. I'm not his biggest fan but i'd bring him back with Meli in the centre.

Also it would add a bit of size to the team and also a bit of experience depending on who misses out if Gardner plays. I thought it would have been the same team as last week but Lomax in for Eastmond and Gardner in for Dixon but if Dixon is playing then this cant be true.

For me it was Gardner to the wing, with Meli to centre. Then it was between Dixon and Lomax for the final spot, a lot can change at this time. Let's wait and see.

1 - Wellens
2 - Gardner
3 - Gidley
4 - Smeli
5 - Foster
6 - Lomax
7 - Smith
8 - Graham
9 - Cunningham
10 - Hargreaves
11 - Flannery
12 - Wilkin
13 - Puletua

14 - Dixon
15 - Clough
16 - Soliola
17 - Roby

Mick text me with that about ten minutes ago.

bet he didnt add a smilie

If he did it definitely wasn't this one

I expect Soliola to start, TP off the bench ideally.

For me Dixon doen't give us much over what we have already got. With Leon and Kyle missing we need to have some sort of x factor from somewhere and I'd take a punt on Lomax in the final sub spot before Dixon.

I prefer you using nicknames.
