Can't see Puletua playing when he is supposed to be out for a month. I think he is just in there to make up the 19 man squad.

Soliola is out for a month isn't he?

Yep

yup, tony p is fine, well as long as he isnt turned from strong runner to tackle machine by the clueless wonder

thanks to the clueless wonder we've not seen alot of the real damage Tony P is capable of, He would be devestating running wide but sadly Potters 2 tactics consist of pass from acting half or hit a forward off first reciever

I'd go with:

wello
lomax
gidley
wheeler
meli
pryce
eastmond
graham
kc
fozz
clough
wilkin
roby

tony p
maurie
Moore
flannery

I like the idea of wheeler and Kyle at halfback but don't think this is correct game to try it. It's a pretty important game in terms of performance after last weeks shocker so let's just hope the players stand up to be counted this week.

I'd agree with Mr Messy, we need Puletua and Fa'asavalu on the bench for the much needed impact we lacked last week.

Looking forward to the game tomorrow, hope you guys travel in numbers despite what people think of the team. Super League is not the same without a strong St Helens team. Safe journey across, see you there.

Flannery might not be effective there but he will try. Leon is a joke. You say if he can be bothered. He can't. He isn't bothering to try in his preferred position of 6 so he isn't going to try when in a different position.

I'd rather have Flanno being poor at centre than Pryce wandering around.

He needs to be dropped all together and for good as far as i'm concerned.

Thats a ridiculous post. Leon's effort is the not the reason he's not doing too well. He still works as hard, takes as many carries up, does as many tackles and works as hard in defense. It's just with no organising half back alongside him he's a little lost and his form has dipped. But to criticise his effort is out of order IMO.

guys your 1 game in, you lost the 1st 5 last season or was it 08 and still made old trafford, get behind your team enjoy the game today woteva the result, hopefully bradford win, saints will still be up there come autumn, hopefully bulls will be too

i dont agree, he just doesnt seem interested at all

I was being a little harsh earlier maybe but I think Pryce's head does go down when things arnt going his way and he does go missing when we need someone to stamp their authority on a game. Pryce simply isnt a standoff, but Potter dosnt have the balls to move him.

As for Leggohead at centre, I dont doubt he will try really really hard but that wont make him any better , this isnt u10's Rugby where effort makes up for a lack of ability or pace

I don't think he does take as many carries, but agree with the rest.
