Nature of the beast the dual players will be in the 17 every time they are available. In Mitchell and McCarthy we have two outstadning young players who would make the starting line up in at least 5 other SL clubs.

I'm not a big fan of the concept but I guess we can't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Mitchell and McCarthy in particular are top young players and if they can help us win games that will get closer to winning the grand final then all well and good.

First things first lets get Barrow turned over. We owe them big time for last season although we should have won the home game, we completely threw that away.

Leuleiu is the only doubt from the team that beat Fev, injury, he wouldnt have played at Dews

I'll go with

Donlan
Alstead
Blythe
Nanyn
Stanton
Hartley
Paul
Hill
McConnell
Morrison
Mitchell
Taylor
Armitstead

Emmitt/Meekin
McCarthy
Goulden
Duffy

Despite Armitstead's performance against Fev, i'd still prefer him in the second row and have a out and out prop starting at prop and Armitstead filling in during the game. You could argue about who to play at loose as well. The back line pretty much picks itself but I have no idea who'll start in the forwards and where.

Edit: I missed out Leuluai presuming he's injured, but if not then there's another backrower to think about.

Tonights team will be :-

1. Donlan
2. Alstead
3. Blyth
4. Nanyn
5. Maden
6. Hartly
7. Paul
8. Hill
9. Duffy
10. Morrison
11. Mitchell
12. Taylor
13. McCarthy

14. McConnell
15. Emmett
16. Armistead
17. Goulden

Should be competative team against a strong Barrow side but we are at home and if we defend as well as against Fev then who knows

Come On You Leythers

Alstead and Blyth are not slow!!!

No Stanton?

our first chance to see blyth & mcCarthy i hope the latter is as good as they think he is but at the same time i hope theres no one from a SL club there cos we no what will happen then dont we

The only SL club we need to worry about are Wire - can't see anybody paying a fee to sign him permanently, but if injuries start to kick at Wire and he shows good form with us then we might not be able to call on him too often. Having said that, at least that would mean he had been playing well for us so it's not all bad news.

not from what i was told think they are worried about the kicks to corners? could be wrong though

Its on sky im sure a few SL coaches will be watching!!!!!

And Maden is our solution to that?
