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

No Ratchford

I know its a long season, but Mcrae really needs to think about this leaving Ratchford out for Paul IMO is a big mistake.

i'd expect nash and turner to miss out

What does Ratchford have to do for him to get a place he has looked dangerous in the games he has played so far, very bad decision by Mcrae.

Perhaps Paul is not relacing Ratchford: there's other half-backs in that 18.

Let's hold back on our judgements after we've seen what SL teams will produce against us THIS eason.

Cant see turner missing out he will be in the centre i should imagine.

Nope, the horse will IMO
