Waterhouse, Grix and Monas back, excellent news. What's up with Atkins? Really hope Ratch isn't played in the centres again... With this lot I'd put Currie in Atkins' spot and Ratch with Bridge in the halves. No idea what Smith's long term plan with Richie is though...

Of course I forgot Russell was missing. Perhaps Myler will have a go at half back with Bridge? Think that's pretty much the only half back combination we haven't tried yet, lol |

Ratch at FB and Bridge/Myler HB's. Can't justify GOB getting a start. We need a physical and strong team to beat them on their patch so we need a strong bench.
Good to have Waterhouse, Monas and Grix back. Let's hope Monas and Waterhouse are still on fire and Grix stays injury-free up to the playoffs.

If we play Myler at 7 then a forward will miss out when the likes of Wood Laithwaite Grix and Trent need match fitness
I would use Myler as a 9 replacement and hb cover off the bench.

Good to see Waterhouse back. Hope he gets a further contract extension as we are a much better team with him in it.

Good to see Simon, Michael & Trent back in the squad, on top of Woody, Richie & Laithwaite recently returning, I don't think we have anyone out now other than Ben Evans & Matty Russell.
Mickey H & Ryan appear to be rested.
I'd go with.
Stefan Ratchford
Rhys Evans
Simon Grix
Joel Monaghan
Gene Ormsby
Chris Bridge
Richie Myler
Anthony England
Michael Monaghan
Ben Harrison
Trent Waterhouse
Ben Westwood
James Laithwaite
Ben Currie
Roy Asotasi
Brad Dwyer
Paul Wood
Chris Hill To be rested for Leeds.
Gareth O’Brien To miss out
In the Daily Mail Online it states that Ratch will be playing Full Back & Ryan has a minor ankle injury
'Warrington's Stefan Ratchford will demonstrate his versatility in Perpignan on Friday by starting in a different position for the third consecutive match.
Ratchford, who is primarily seen as a stand-off, has played centre and loose forward in the Wolves' last two Super League matches but will switch to full-back against the Catalan Dragons in the absence of Matty Russell, who is ruled out through concussion.
"It's a great attribute that he's got," said Warrington coach Tony Smith. "He's been really good for us and he'll do a good job for us at full-back this week.
"The only position I think he hasn't been selected in this year is prop and he asked me one day if I wanted him to play there. He was being facetious but I reckon he'd do all right there too."
Ratchford will be expected to switch roles once more when Russell returns for the Wolves' Tetley's Challenge Cup semi-final against Leeds at Langtree Park on Saturday week, when Smith should be able to select from virtually a full-strength squad.
Centre Ryan Atkins misses Friday's game with a minor ankle injury but will be back to face the Rhinos and forwards Michael Monaghan, Trent Waterhouse and Simon Grix will all be on Thursday's flight to Barcelona after recovering from injury, which leaves only prop Ben Evans on the sidelines.
"We've got a whole lot of boys back in a short period of time," said Smith, who has seen scrum-half Richie Myler, prop Paul Wood and second rower James Laithwaite all return to action in recent weeks.'

Agreed. Ratch to fullback is a no brainer. I actually think he is still the best all round fullback at the club if you want your full back to operate as an additional half back. Russell still needs work in that area. |

I said earlier in the week that game time for those returning from injury was as important as the result on Friday, and I stick by it. On this basis I'm going with :
Ratchford
Ormsby
Evans
Currie
Monas
Bridge
O'Brien
Hill
Myler
Wood
Westwood
Waterhouse
Grix
Harrison
England
M.Monas
Laithwaite
Myler at hooker is a risk but he could interchange with Harrison, moving into the halves, Grix to hooker and Harrison to LF depending on how things are going.
Fantastic to see the walking wounded back, I just hope Catalans come to play footy and not to indulge in unchecked acts of violence.

I wouldn't be surprised if GOB misses out tomorrow with Myler replacing him. Monas and Grix can share the hooking role with us having plenty of back row options in that squad.
