If we beat Leigh I could see a good reason for facilitating the rise of Fax to 6th. That would be amusing.

Squad: Adam O’Brien, Adam Sidlow, Alex Mellor, Dale Ferguson, Dane Nielsen, Danny Addy, Danny Williams, Epalahame Lauaki, Harry Siejka, Jake Mullaney, James Clare, Jay Pitts, Jean-Philippe Baile, Matt Ryan, Matty Blythe, Paul Clough, Ryan Shaw, Steve Crossley, Tom Olbison

Still no Gaskell and surprised and frustrated Lauaki is still in. Also no Purtell. Would sitll liek to see Walshaw. Thank god Chev's not in.

For me:

Jake Mullaney
James Clare
Matty Blythe
Dane Nielsen
Danny Williams
Danny Addy
Harry Siejka
Paul Clough
Adam O’Brien
Adam Sidlow
Tom Olbison
Matt Ryan
Jay Pitts

Dale Ferguson
Alex Mellor
Epalahame Lauaki
Steve Crossley

No caro either seems odd.

Cant see any other option than what you have Mania, unless Shaw plays FB which i really doubt as he hasnt played in months it seems.

Hope Seijka attacks the line, id be temted to put him at 6, he wasnt terrible at HKR when he did

Maybe Siejka just needs a free reign to play off the cuff and he isn't the organising half Jimmy's being playing him as. He came on against KR when the game was gone and we didn't really have a game plan and took the line on twice and did alright. In fact he probably took the line on more in that game than the entire season.

If we where safe in 4th maybe but id like to see us above Wakey if at all possible, nothing saying they wont finish above them on merit anyway, especially if Widnes show up in force against Leigh might be a bloodbath especialy as they disposed of us and Wakey very easily

Hopefully Addy can organise he has been doing it for a while anyway, and would allow Seijka play as you have said, heres hoping but secretly we all know whats going to happen, he was unlucky to be held up also, what about Sejka as hooker next season?.

Think this will be the line-up as well, perhaps Ferguson starting rather than Ryan, but certainly that 17 anyway. Other than Addy, the other 12 starters are in their actual positions, which would make a nice change.

Not surprised Caro, Walker and Mendeika have been dropped after last week.

Caro got a knock last week.

Still think Neisen needs a big game quite underwhelemed so far with him, might be different with either Clare or williams, outside of him, Caro seemed to always be offside when he plays saw it against Fax with Henry and he was always infront of his centre so hardly got the ball.

I'd pick Clare over Caro any day of the week. Caro's scored a couple of long range tries in the last couple of games but I've yet to actually see him break a tackle.

That team practically picks itself although Blythe doesn't offer anything in the centre. A real lack of fire power in the centres for this one. Shame Purtell is missing for attack (not defense)

Any reason for Purts missing, Blythe recently has done well albeit that was in 2nd row, last time he played centre i dont think he brought his winger into the game at all.

Cant argue about caro, he might be fast (as shown vs Widnes) but he is very slow of the line, should have the strike power with clare and williams.

Shaw at full back, with Sijeka 7 Mullaney 6, Addy at 13

Leigh start as favourites for this game with the bookies. Mr Beaumont has certainly added fuel to the fire of what will already be an explosive game. Expect fireworks, probably a few yellows, but certainly a more controlled game with Silverwood. Grudges, everything on the line for both clubs. Should be a cracker.

I'd be very surprised if it remains 13-a-side for the duration of 80 minutes.

I don't envy the player who will be taking the first carry from the kick off. Both sides are sure to be fired up.

Shame it can't be like a testimonial so we could have a celebrity carry or kick off. Would love to land it on Derek
