ooh well now, this is a tricky one to predict. Lots of possibilities here.

Where's LOngbarn ?

Philbin and Evans to miss out for me - give Rhys a week to rest the shoulder and play Julien instead. Start Patton at 7 and spell Ratchford for Clark at hooker. Keeps the same 6/7 together for the whole game.

Philbin and young Declan to miss out for me.

If Evans isn't deemed fit then Currie slots in at Centre, Westwood starts in the 2nd row and Jullien/Philbin comes in on the bench.

I'd swap Ratchford and Patton around. Lets get our best players having the most game time.

Enough Fire Power in this team to dispose of our Scouse friends.

Saints are there for the taking, and frankly having had more second prizes off them than I care to remember, I want to see us go for the jugular, and put that poundland Jack Black and his crew in their place.

So, I'd stick with the Ratch-Gidley partnership, Patton off the bench to rotate with Clarke and Ratch.

Taking our home record into account against Saints I'd be happy with any scoreline in our favour.
'Poundland Jack Black' !! Priceless

This. I would far rather make a simple 1 for 1 swap at hooker instead of moving players around/changing half back combinations. I would also like to see how Jullien goes with a full 80 minutes either at centre or second row.

I would also like to see Jullien given a run. He seems the most developed of our younger players.

Quality, haha that's brilliant.

Is this the team you expect or the one you want to see? For me, Ratchford is nailed on to start.

Ratchford has to start whether at centre to be rotated with hooker or in he halves with gidley. The choice then is between Patton and Jullien over who is most match ready. Personally I would play ratchford in the halves and spell westerman at 9 if Clark needs to come off.
