on official site...

Grix, Pickersgill and Clarke in.

Still no Penny then.

I'd guess the same 1 to 7.

Morley, Higham, Rau
Landerson, Blythe
VAnderson

Wood
Pickersgill
Grix
McCarthy/Harrison

Clarke to have another week off.

I think Clarke will play. Grix to have another week off. There to make the numbers up.

I wouldn't be overly surprised to see Clarke in the backrow.

Remember what I said...

I'd be happy to see Clarke in the back row tbh.

I wouldn't.

I want him in the middle organising that horrendous amateurish mess that is our defence.

I would pick:

19. Chris Riley
23. Chris Hicks
3. Martin Gleeson
25.Chris Bridge
4. Matt King
6. Lee Briers
7. Michael Monaghan
8.Adrian Morley
9.Jon Clarke
15. Paul Wood
11. Louis Anderson
22. Lee Mitchell
13. Vinnie Anderson

14. Mickey Higham
10. Paul Rauhihi
17. Steve Pickersgill
24.Ben Harrison

Blythe to miss out as I feel he's struggling a little at the moment. I might throw Grix in somewhere as well - he must be ready to have been selected, otherwise why pick him and not McCarthy?

Not in the 19, strangely.

I would definately start with Clarke, even if his fitness means he plays shorter spells than he would normally and Higham can pick up the slack. I think another 80 minute 'performance' from Higham will probably lead to another collapse in the last 20-30 minutes.

The backs pretty much pick themselves (same as last week), so the only real choices are who plays second row and who plays fourth prop. I would start with Moz and Rah and interchange them with Wood and Pickersgill. I would also move VAnderson into the second row and start either Grix or Blythe at Loose.

However, having said all that, and just to be different, what about

Riley
King
Gleeson
Hicks (plenty of experience at centre in the NRL)
Penny
Bridge
Briers
Moz
Monas
Rah
VAnderson
LAnderson
Grix

Wood
Pickersgill
Higham
Blythe

He can do that from Loose.

Hmm surprise surprise, Penny really is Colt Seavers!

I would go for that too.

i would like to see how bridge would get on at loose, think hed make a great loose forward

Not as well as influence our go forward.

What's wrong with Carvell?

Knee ligament problem.

The same thing thats been wrong with him on a regular basis over the last few years, he`s out again injured.

For a good while as well...

Lowes obviously wasn't happy with how he performed as 18th man last week, so he's been dropped from the 19 this time around. Maybe he should have sat in the stands looking like a manic depressive stoner, to fit in with the boss.

Has been talk of him playing at 6 with Briers 7 and Monaghan 9..........whether thats from the off or via switches/subs during the game I don't know.

Why dont we put players in their correct positions?
Bridge at 6,Briers at 7,Monaghan at 9 and clarke somewhere in Widnes.

Briers 6, Monaghan 7, Clarke 9, Higham 14 are the correct positions. Briers has always had a utility value and can stay in the centres until Lowes sees sense and brings Penny back. In fact, Bridge and Penny might be ok on the left.

since when has briers been a centre...dont you mean bridge(who is a stand off)
