YAAAAAAAAAY Russell, BOOOOOOO Riley.......

......is what I assume the reaction will be from most on here.

YAAAAAAAAAY Russell, BOOOOOOO Riley

So who is Riley replacing? Ormsby or Joel?

Atkins surely?

Didn't Ormsby get a knock against Hull?

I heard a similar interview only that it was Glenn Riley that would return to the squad this week. Not sure I'd make many changes personally

Got to give Penny a run out for London.

Russell yes, Riley Nooooooooooo. Just thought I'd follow the rest. No too bothered about Riley. Hope Russell plays well on his debut.

This. Pretty sure Tony Smith said that Glenn Riley was due back next week.

For me I'd like to see Evans and Penny on the left edge but I doubt that will happen.

Ben Evans deserves to keep his place,played well on Sunday, with a well taken try on Sunday. Looks like last season at the bulls, has done him in good stead. Am all for Russell to be given a run out on Sunday. But to who's cost in the team.

Russell
Ormsby/Riley (Ormsby if fit)
Bridge
Evans
Joel
Ratchford
GOB

Pack pretty much chooses itself. Possibly Dwyer on bench and rest M.Monas. Myler and Atkins can have a run-out at Swinton and at least have an excuse to justify their sulky dispositions.

hmmm two players come in to the side


One is signed from the NRL where he just played reserve grade.
Warrington fans verdict: must be a superstar.

The other is a home grown player that came through our academy and has 100 odd SL tries to his name plus three Challenge Cup medals.
Warrington fans verdict: rubbish why would we want a player like this in the team?

Ormsby is terrible, get him out and get some first teamers in, the man cant catch a cold

Well we know Russel will add considerable attacking flair, and that seems to have been sadly lacking ATM, so his inclusion seems a given. The problem then is where to put Ratchford, and I suspect TS will replace Myler, even though it breaks up the half back partnership very early in the season. A this stage, we need a run of wins / good games to maintain morale. Only the criminally insane would drop GOB, the team needs direction and a kicker, plus he needs a decent run of games to see if he can cut it. But I think TS will stick with Atkins, that is his track record in the face of poor form, and I suspect the logic is that Atkins lacks confidence and that will not improve if he doesn't play.

In the forwards, Laithwaite out and Riley in. Gone are the past few seasons where we would have rested players and tried new blood. We need a settled team that is familiar playing together, and we need the win.
