Warrington Squad

Sitaleki Akauola, Ryan Atkins, Kevin Brown, Josh Charnley, Daryl Clark, Mike Cooper, Ben Currie, Bryson Goodwin, Chris Hill, Jack Hughes, George King, Toby King, Tom Lineham, Ben Murdoch-Masila, Joe Philbin, Stefan Ratchford, Tyrone Roberts, Morgan Smith, Ben Westwood

T.King and Smith to miss out.

Don't we need or have you factored in a bit of squad management over Easter?

It will be interesting to see how Price and Hendo will play Clark.

I am edging on the side of Morgan Smith being on the bench for Friday to spell with Daz. You have to have Monday in the back of your mind and I think he will rotate Daz. If we get a big enough lead he may well withdraw Daz from the action early.

Tom King and Either George King or Ben Currie to miss out on Friday with Ben coming back in on Monday.

To be honest I don’t think we have that luxury,we can’t really afford to lose any more games, I do get what you mean though just for me we not in that position.

With Mitch Brown out of the squad, Josh Charnley, to definitely make his debut for Wire on Friday.

Sam Wilde at second row according to Betts press conference. BMM should have a field day!

Id have the squad down as;

Ratch

Linehan
Goodwin
Atkins
Charnley

Brown
Roberts

Hill
Clarke
Cooper
Currie
Hughes
Westwood

BMM
Akauola
Philbin
T.King/Smith

King has been doing ok recently but you could argue westwood has been one of our best players.

I think BMM has been working well off the bench too

I guess

Ratch
Charnley / Atkins / Goodwin / Lineham
Brown / Roberts
Hill / Clark / Cooper
Hughes / Currie
Westwood

Smith / Sita / Philbin / BMM

Is our strongest likely line up for the game, although he could well leave Atkins and Currie to come in at Cas and have the King bros in the 17 to leave us fresher for Cas - a risk possibly as Karetaker alludes, but a 17 without Currie & Atkins should still be good enough to handle Widnes..... shouldn't it?

I would love to see Sam play a blinder.

Id be very worried if Charnley is outside of Atkins......no chance hes getting a decent pass

Please no. It would spark that "why do we let go all these promising young players without giving them a chance" argument.

I think we are on fairly safe ground. He played 22 games for Wire and even a GF(!) and I can't recall one where he stood out. We have not missed him in the slightest. File him in the Paul Noone, Laithwaite, et al pile.

Might be in the minority here, but Laithwaite appeared to be progressing nicely prior to the terrible injury.

You're not. Laithwaite was. If you saw him now his filled out you'd wish he had stayed.
