seems to be shaping up nicely,it looks as if thats it recruitment wise for next year,so just wondering what would be people's selection ahead of 2012? i'd say

1 Hodgson
2 Monaghan
3 Bridge
4 Ratchford
5 Atkins
6 Briers
7 Myler
8 Morley
9 Monaghan
10 Carvell
11 Waterhouse
12 Westwood
13 Harrison

Grix
Solomona
Hill
Woody

I reckon monas can do the full 80 as neither clarke or higham are good enough for us,thoughts?

I seriously doubt Atkins will be moved to the wing for Ratchford.
Grix won't be in the first 17, as Smith will play Higham as sub hooker unless he brings someone else in. Monas won't do 80 every week no chance.

Don't think Hill be getting much game time yet.

Also there may be a different team taking the pitch every week and it isn't like you can pick a first choice team. There is really an unknown and a horses for courses feel here.

Disagree, there surely has to be a first choice 17.

My widnes buddy/3eyed cretin, reckons briers is off to them next year , cant see it myself but we'll wait and see . Dont think Ratchford has been signed to play wing or centre so there could be a hint of accuracy in his prediction.

Think your little Widnesian friend is pretty clueless. Briers is signed for next season.

Due to Joel Monaghan's obvious lack of pace i'd like to see him start at right centre, he's not going to out run many people down the touchline.

I'd chance starting Bridge at 13 and play one of the youngsters or Riley outside of Joel Monaghan, i'd play Ratchford at left centre with Ryan Atkins outside of him on the wing.

Hodgson
Atkins
Bridge
J.Monaghan
Riley
Briers
Myler
Morley
M.Monaghan
Carvell
Westwood
Waterhouse
Harrison/Grix

Woody
Ratchford
Solomona
Higham

There will be plenty of rotation I think next season , Our starting pack is looking tough.

1.Hodgson
2.Joel
3.Bridge
4.Ratchford
5.Atkins
6.Briers
7.Myler
8.Moz
9.Monas
10.Carvell
11.Westwood
12.Waterhouse
13.Grix

Subs-
14.Harrison
15.Wood
16.Solomona
17.New Hooker...Pleeeeeeease

I'd get rid of, Mitchell, Tyke, Clarke, Higham on top of King and Louis going

6 out and get 4 good players on that, Waterhouse and Ratchford being 2, get another 2 top drawer players one being a hooker the other a ball playing loose forward then move Benny H to prop.

Grix is fine at loose, been one of our best performers this season.

Not sure who we'd get to be the replacement hooker though thats the problem.

Like the idea of Benny H at Prop though, think he is an awesome player now and is only gonna get better but he'd have to bulk up a bit wouldn't he?

Wouldnt want Grix to loose out though, think he has been class this year.

I'd have Grix at 2nd row

1.Hodgson/Riley/Helliwell
2.Atkins
3.Bridge
4.Joel
5.Riley/Evans
6.Briers
7.Ratchford
8.Moz
9.Monas
10.Carvell
11.Westwood
12.Waterhouse
13.Grix/Harrison

Subs-
14.Myler ~ Replacement Hooker!!!
15.Harrison/Grix
16.Wood
17.Solomona

Now I know Myler has been fantastic for us this year and I think he is an exceptional player but again I would love to see him running round dictating what plays we do on the back of Monas running riot before him. Dont get me wrong I would have no issues with him being our 7 as I think he is going great and is gonna get better and better. Trying to sort out where Ratchford fits is all and I cant see him being in the cntres in front of our current cnetres/wingers if you get my drift.

Guess Chris Hll will get some run outs on a regular rotation too along with some of our under 20's from what i have seen this year.
