Hope they all make it don't want any excuses.

Agree completely that left hand side partnership between them two looks fearful and will only get better imo.

Carvell went off on 22 mins and didn't come back on but he was warming- up for most of the second half...

Was probably just a safety precaution.

TBH they could end up worse off risking people... and sometimes as you guys will know with Riley Cooper McCarthy etc the young ones perform better than the experienced squad members...

If Soliola and Gidley do miss out I'd be very worried with your 3/4's up against Chris Dean and Gary Wheeler but only time will tell, we'll have a better idea on Wednesday when the squads are released

Either way it'll be a cracker! I remember the game at your place we had no Long Sculthorpe etc Wellens kicking (poorly) Hardman on the Wing, Lyons first game at 6 and we pipped it at the end

What a shame this one isn't on Sky

If TP didn't make it, would Andy Dixon be in contention? Looks a great player from what i've seen of him.

that sounds like a cullenism

We've been using TP as 1 of 4 Props for a while now so it'd be Graham & Fozzard Starting with Hargreaves & Fa'asavalu coming off the bench

The other 2 bench spots would be Moore and Clough most likely.

ATM Ashurst is being picked ahead of Dixon, not as much flair but very solid.

Injuries permitting

Wellens
Gardner Gidley Soliola Meli
Pryce Eastmond
Graham Cunningham Puletua
Wilkin Flannery
Roby

Fa'asavalu
Fozzard/Hargreaves
Clough
Moore

Still some team that.

IF Wello Gids Sia and TP don't make it or aren't risked it doesn't look too clever, Centres are inexperienced and Wheeler isn't even one really

Eastmond
Gardner Dean Wheeler Meli
Pryce Roby
Graham Cunningham Fozzard
Wilkin Flannery
Clough

Ashurst
Moore
Fa'asavalu
Hargreaves

Eastmond and Pryce are key for you I think, Eastmond tore us a new one last time we played.

Man of the Match v Hull KR and looked dangerous from FB against Crusaders, but as I say it's all ifs and buts until the squad is released on Wednesday... As to if Wellens, Gidley, Soliola and Puletua will play

I don't care who plays. Providing we don't have about 8 injuries we have a more than capable squad.

I would prefer Riley at FB if only due to his ability in the tackle back. He did well in that against Bulls. Forget the dropped bomb and keep him there. Mathers will come back in due to injuries, a drop in form from another back, or rotation.
If Briers is fit, he plays - simple.
