I'm surprised to see Ratchford named, I thought that he was a couple more weeks off.

Is wrench injured?

Not mentioned in Warrington Guardian squad report, so I assume that he has been dropped?

Same article states that Williams and Holmes have minor injuries, hence they are unavailable.

Williams out is a blow. Top notch for effort.

If Ratchford is really match-ready, and not just in the squad to make up the numbers, it will be interesting to see whether Powell picks him or Dean in the halves. I'd go with Dean - seems an ideal game to see how he goes.

And that would really annoy me, why have Dean in the squad in that case. Regarding Ratchford I would leave him out till Tuesday and even then I would not guarantee him a spot if the guys play well in his place.

I think most of us would always want a youngster to come in rather than shoehorn a player from elsewhere. Dean needs games.

With such a short turnaround before the Easter Monday game, I expect that Powell will play Williams, Holmes, Wrench and other players excluded from the Salford game at Hull and rest some of the players from Thursday`s game.

I don't believe that Powell will 'rest' anybody (which is different to not taking a chance on a player that isn't fully fit). Right now we need a win to restore confidence and to halt the decline in attendance figures. I'm sure that Powell will go with his strongest available team for Thursday then see who's fit for Monday. Hopefully Williams and Holmes will have recovered by then as we'll need all hands.

The fact that Ratchford is named suggests that either he has a real chance of playing or that Wrench is also injured.

Not sure whether Wrench is injured or not, maybe taken out of the firing line? Seems to have had a difficult few weeks, albeit playing out of position on the wing.

Not easy out on the wing ... in fact horrible if not a winger / very exposed. Last match we had one recognised winger available ... Charnley.

Bulging disc in his back and out for another week or two, according to Powell in the WG. Also confirms that Ratchford and Ashton will both definitely play.

What is up with Williams , how long is he out for ?
