See im different im all for us playing like we are in attack with the high risk plays , i just think we need to use a bit more common sense, (Carvell's offload on our own line) because as we seen last season when they start coming off we give some big teams some good hidings, the thing that was worrying me about Friday was the defence in that opening half an hour , we were being destroyed around the play the ball and a couple of their tries were just poor defence. Everybody knows the way Warrington play and thats the team they want to watch.

Yeah when it comes off, and for it too, the basics just need tightening up first

play the strongest, full team..END OF!

Drop Wood and/or Carvel

Chosen props of
Cooper, Morely and Hill

Team the same as usual, otherwise

Is playing Gaz Carvell in the form he's been in of late, playing the strongest team though?

We are getting battered, Hodgson scores and the clock is almost dead, get to half time, have time to discuss where it's going wrong.

So on our own line with literally 5 seconds left WHY would you offload?

We are not thinking smart, sometimes we need to compose ourselves.

basics basics basics. get the basics right first. I want to see a completion rate of 80% plus. No penalties. No offloads in our own half or before the 3rd tackle.

Might be bad to watch for a bit, but once we get hthat right, try the fancy stuff.

were in bad form and its the easter weekend, im not saying do a Wigan and rest the spine of our team just saying that on recent form we need to show a couple of members of our front row that we have got players to come in and replace them if they continue playing poorly.

Spot on about the basics. Perfect opportunity to just play a nice simple game without chucking it around too much.

One of Carvell and Wood to miss out for me.

hill to start instead of wood, drop carvell out of 17 wood to bench with coops. if o'brien back then him and briers in the halves , myler off the bench as replacement hooker?

Any news about Micky Higham. told last night he had a broken bone in his hand

haven't heard anything about higham with an injury? anyone else?

We have several players who are not at their best at the moment. I don't know if they need a rest, kick up the backside, or more game time to get back to full match fitness, I suspect it’s the latter with some of them and don’t think we’ll see too many changes.

Even seasoned professionals go through periods where their confidence and belief in in themselves suffers. I suspect TS will know which ones will benefit from support and which ones need a bit of a wake up call.

I'd try and rest Waterhouse on Thursday. He's done the full 80 v Wigan and Saints and put in some really big defensive shifts. Ben Westwood returns on Thursday so I would be tempted to rest Trent ready for Monday.

Carvell needs more game time for me...needs to put in some basic hard graft..and build up his confidence again...so he must play.
