Warrington Wolves 21-man squad: Matty Ashton, Blake Austin, Rob Butler, Josh Charnley, Daryl Clark, Jason Clark, Mike Cooper, Ben Currie, Chris Hill, Jack Hughes, Toby King, Tom Lineham, Jake Mamo, Robbie Mulhern, Joe Philbin, Stefan Ratchford, Ellis Robson, Josh Thewlis, Danny Walker, Gareth Widdop, Connor Wrench.

I don't think it will be too hard to guess the team. Thewliss, Wrench, Butler and Robson to miss out. Ashton, Walker, Philbin and Mulhern on the bench.

Providing of course someone doesn't trip over a blade of grass during training and injure their fetlock.

Where's this super star Aussie is he injured or counting his money

So Mamo at centre till Inglis comes in?

I was wondering about Philbin. Do you think he was given the 13 as an ego thing? I really don't like Hughes and Clark J on the pitch at the same time, but prefer the impact Philbin makes off the bench. Could Robson work as a 13?

they were using him as a middle(when he got on the pitch) last year, size wise he's the same as philbs and clark, so he should fit price's scheme

I like Robson for a bench spot. With Currie and Hughes able to move into centre and Mamo capable across the backline I don’t see a need for a back on the bench.

Harsh on Ashton (assuming he’s not starting over Lineham) but not worth a passenger

Forecast is it's a bit too cold this weekend.

Or maybe :

"(Steve Price) confirmed in his pre-match press conference this week that Greg Inglis would not feature in Round 1, stating: "He’ll just miss out this week but he’s getting very close. Greg is a real humble, genuine guy. He’s been class since he arrived. He is a natural footballer and is a really good asset for our club." "

That would be my guess. And as Price is nothing but conservative I suspect he will not risk Wrench.

I think Robson could certainly do a job at 13. I think him and Thewliss are getting pretty close to SL standard. Clark doesn't really take the ball up whereas Robson will have a go so he certainly adds more than Clark's defensive contribution. But Robson missed a tackle in the Leigh match that led to the Brierly try and that will not have been lost on Price, so I can't see him squeezing Clark out of his spot yet.

Doro can count himself to be very unlucky to miss out as he looked much more of a handful than both Robson and Butler last week.

I actually thought Jason Clark looked livelier in the friendly than he did at any point last season. Surprised me a little to be honest. You're right about Thewliss and Robson - both banging on the door now.

I had exactly the same thoughts about Clark, he certainly looked very active. It could be that he has had a really good pre-season or the cynic might think he has a fair bit more competition this year and wanted to catch the eye. Perhaps he is also thinking about staying another year ? He will be 32 in June and I guess he will not get a gig in Oz.

I think it's a bit unfair saying that picking Mamo is conservative it's important that we get off to a strong start so pick your best team there'll be plenty of time and opportunities for the squad to kick in.

Whilst he might be behind King and Inglis in the Centre, Ratchord and Ashton at FB and Lineham and Charnley out wide, he can play in all three positions. I thought he was quick but a bit 'flakey' (based on limited viewing) when at Huddersfield, but he did well last year and I enjoyed watching him, a bit of a character.

Is Sita totally out of the picture?
