Got to play Littler at centre if White not fit as Turner got ripped to bits at Hull KR by Webster.

Ratchford got to be in stood out in all friendlies.

I would go with :
1 Ratchford
2 Wilshere
3 Littler
4 Talau
5 Henry
6 Smith
7 Myler
8 Cashmere
9 Alker
10 Stapleton
11 Adamson
12 Parker
13 Swain

14 Turner
15 Leuluai
16 1 from Jewitt/ Nash or Sidlow
17 Paul

i have the team for saturday fitzy-henry-willie-littler-wilshire-smith-myler-cashmere-alker-stapo-adamson-parker-swain subs phil-paul-sibbit-jewitt or nash no ratchford or turner

If that is the correct line up (and I've no reason to doubt your source) then it's more or less as expected. I think having seen the pre-season games I'd have to agree with Littler starting, he's impressed me (Why that should be a shock I'm not sure anymore). However I do feel for both Turner and Ratch, but I'd be more than certain they'll be in there in the next few weeks it's just unfortunate that someone has to miss out but a great problem to have for any coach.

If that is true can't believe Ratchford hasn't got a look in

What does he have to do to get in??

Fitzy
Wilshire
Turner
Talau
Henry
Smith
Myler
Cashmere
Alker
Stapo
Adamson
Parker
Swain

Big Phil
Jewitt
Paul
Ratchford

obviously more than what he has been doin, he was great when he came on at hull

Would any of you agree that if Fitzy is selected it will be a massive game for him and a real test to prove he's over the injury and capable of playing at SL level again?

I just think McRae now has several options at Fullback with Henry, Wilshere and Ratchford and if Fitzy doesn't take his chance on Saturday I can't see him making the 17 this season unless we get injuries!

I BIT DISSAPOINTED RATCHFORD ISNT PLAYING WE ARE LEAVING OURSEL VES OPEN HERE WE HAVE NO COVER AT HALFBACK ROBBIE HAS ADDMITTED HE ISNY FAST ENOUGH TO COVER THE BACK POSITIONS ANYMORE WE MAY GET AWAY WITH IT AGAINST CELTIC BUT AGAINST BETTER OPPOSITION WE WILL STRUGGLE WIGAN FOUND THAT THERE COST AT THE WEEKEND.GO WITH ROBBIE AND STEF ON THE BENCH AND YOU CAN THEN ROTATE THEM 2 AND ALKER AROUND

how do you know that ratachford isn't on the bench

i'm optimistic that he will be!! he has been playing awesome in the friendlies we've had and looked better than Myler in a couple

What happened to the official announcement of 20 and 18 man squads a few days prior to games?

if ratchford isnt in mcraes a joke ratchford has to be in the 17 somewhere he has more to offer than robbie paul we have to look forward to the future and not back i am telling you we will lose that talent of ratchford to another super league club if we are not careful wernt bradford interested in him last year
