I just feel we need Bridge on the bench to enable him to come on and cause havoc when were on top.

Yes, Bridge has to be in the 17. He's one of our top performers this year.

I saw Mr Smith (Peace and Blessings be Upon Him) in Tesco's yesterday, he looked incredibly relaxed and at ease. Chatting to the checkout operator and having a joke. I hope he can convey this relaxed attitude to the players during this week.

Anyway back to team selection. Richie Myler has got to play and my I'm sorry but Chris Riley misses out for me.

One niggle for me is that Lee Mitchell, Matt Blythe or Tyrone Mccarthy has not broken through and in the 17.
A good friend of mine who's knowledge and understanding of the game is excellent, very highly rates Tyrone and is furious that Tyrone has not been brought on and already in the 17.

he'll get his chance....ISWT.

I don't think Myler will get in for the same reasons that he missed out at the CC final...defence is the key.
I also think Riley will miss out to accommodate Bridge.

Who know what TS has in mind? For what it's worth I'd go for the Wembley 17, with just the one change: Bridge on the bench instead of Vanderson.

i'm torn, king at centre to cover for briers, or king back on teh wing and the early season partnerships renewed.


whats the opposition though.

king remains at centre with hicks, he lines ups against gardener W and meli C.


Other side he's oppo jamie foster W and Gidley C

Eastmond, Lomax AND Pryce potentially all out for Saints. Our injury luck is the complete opposite of yours.

and yet the results are similar

Just like Eastmond, Cunningham, Soliola and Pryce were all out for the season after the Crusaders match?

Thta is my team too.

Bizarrely, lots of people in this thread have swapped centres over in their teams putting Atkins at RC rather than left where he has played all season - strange!

Putting Bridgey at LF leaves room for a bigger bench of forwards, Higham Vanderson to miss out,
Higham has been pap last few games

Hence the 'potentially' squire.

I think this Saints injury thing is nonsense, everyone knows saints only care about preserving this record they have over us, so they just long term 'rest' players and keep them fresh for the Wire games
