we are playing at the top of our game at the moment with King,Atkins and Anderson out injured and cooper on his way back and Riley in the reserves !
So with Blythe and Evans And Grix playing so well what do we do when the others are ready again Anderson for Grix is an easy one Anderson for me everyday !
Will Bridge get a game infront of King and Atkins for me I would go for
Joel Monnas
King
Atkins
Evans
Tough call on Blythe but King has extra Quality for me Maybe a bench spot for Blythe
Bench of
wood
Solomona
Higham
Blythe
It's a good situation to be in our strength in depth is awesome this season and I trust our Lord Tony will make the correct calls
What is other peoples oppinions will Evans need a rest due to his age and development ! Will Riley get a game again this season ? Should blythe make way or has he earn't his place and will Atkins and King have to wait for a chance to get back in ????
Oppinions please !

Don't want to wish it on anyone but in this game there are always injuries everyone will get their turn this year but all fully fit i'd go for a 4 of
Monas
King
Evans
Bridge

Trust in Smithy to rotate the squad around. A number of people questioned his sanity in not signing more players, but his faith in younger players has been repayed by the performances they have put in to get us where we are today.

Its a long season & we need to rest & rotate players around, to be there at the business end of the season.

You can come up with a good Wolves side without including any young inexperienced players. Drop/rest/injuries to experienced players gives Smith the chance to bring on younger players without too much disruption to the overall team. By the time the "older" players start to think about leaving we will have a crop of younger experienced players..... What a conundrum to have !!!!

Last year people were saying we wouldnt cope with injuries if we got them, well look at us now, 3 key players out due to injury, a few have just returned from inury, and were top of the league having beat the rest of last years top 4, including the champions. Playing some brilliant rugby, and without the ball we look just as good. Very happy THEO.

Maybe last years almost injury free season cost us a GF win.

in a very weird way... quite possibly.

Id go for two out and out speedsters out wide in Riley and Evans, then play J Monaghan and King in the centre

Chris Bridge was, is, and will continue to be when fit Smith's first choice centre, so it's more of a question of who partners him, I think it's clear our first choice 2-5 is :-

Joel
Bridge
King
Atkins

It is only really Blythe that is seriously threatening this at the minute, which could see Bridge move to left centre and King out to left wing. I think Atkins is most at risk.

I disagree, JWP, and believe that when all fit, King is Smith's first choice centre, then followed by Bridge. I would go with:

Joel
King
Bridge
Evans

The players who have the shirts now deserve to keep them. It wouldn't be right to make any changes.

I love Evans but don't think he had a great game last night. If Wigan had better half-backs they'd have sent more high kicks his way.

I think Evans would have been up to it he has an amazing talent and will be a world class centre or fullback in his time he is still learning but was and is still head and shoulders against his opposite number last nite

He didn't do anything wrong from what I saw and looked assured in defence.
The 'chances' he got out wide were difficult and on a least 2 occasions the pass was too high forcing him to reach up and almost come to a standstill before trying to get to the line.

Che's plan seemed to be to attack on the right with Blythe and Joel - and it worked a treat - execution of the first and second tries was spot on.
