| Quote WARRIORCRAIG="WARRIORCRAIG"Be interesting to see our squad named later, as it is expected that Lockers, Farrell, Flower, Bowen and Pettybourne should return, McIlorum likely to be out though. Expecting a decent game, [size=150you won't be as bad as you were against Saints |

| Quote FLYINGPROP="FLYINGPROP"Why would you drop Blackmore? best Giants player by a country mile against Saints, should be looking to drop some of the under performers. No-one should be guaranteed a shirt it should be earned and Blackmore has earned his for this week IMO.'"
I don't think anyone would complain but coaches tend to give younger players with little super league experience little game time. Let them adjust gradually. Plus Broughton is one of our strongest players pound for pound.. He has unbelievable speed and he didn't do anything wrong when he got injured.
McGillvary hadn't done anything wrong.. And Murphy is as safe as houses too.
Our options are superb. If Blackmore doesn't get more game time this season after the saints showing I'll he disappointed but for Wigan.. I'd play him if Broughton and McGillvary aren't fit enough to play. |

| Quote ShelleyGiant="ShelleyGiant" [size=150Oh yes we will,[/size apart from a couple of games this season our pack has been well and truly beaten up and battered by so called "inferior" packs to ours, our defense has been woefull and we've leaked points for fun, don't know whats gone wrong but I'm surprised Anderson hasn't sorted out our forwards by now.
Big Eorl and Koppy on the whole have been very poor and to be honest a few weeks rest might do them both the world of good, they're getting a place in the team on reputation and not on perfomances, same with Leroy, he looks tired, jaded and not half the player he was last season, give him a rest (kick up the booty) players need it from time to time. Add to this Robbo looks injured Broughy needs to get his head sorted to concencentrate on playing instead of pressing the self destruct button and getting involved in stupid arguments he can't win. Last but not least at the moment I don't think Wood brings a lot to the show, I don't think he's good enough for a place be it in the team or on the bench, but that's just my opinion. I think it's fairly easy to see why we're struggling this season, the recent 5 win streak was mainly (Cas apart) against poor opposition who to be honest if we listen to the "experts" we should have buried, but we didn't and the victories didn't even paper over the cracks, we looked poor for large parts of all those games, our pack struggled our defence stuttered and our attack blew hot and cold throughout, don't think them 5 wins fooled too many people. Play like we have been doing against Wigan on Thurs and then at Lids the following week and we could well be on the wrong end of 2 cricket scores.

This post almost echoes my thoughts.
I agree with most of it apart from I think Koppy is slowly improving so more game time the better.
And I'm personally a fan of Wood and think he's been playing well. I think this season he's been pretty good at half back. Maybe starting him there could help him improve and bench Robbo to come into hooker or halves or wherever he's needed.
Good post though ShellyGiant. |

Finally Andersons grown a pair and dropped some one out of form hopefully more players to come, still think he's a if your face fits type of coach. Players need to earn the right to wear the claret and gold and not just get a place on reputation don't think it can do any good for squad harmony players coming straight back into a side like Ferres did hes a great player but Ta'ai took his chance while he was banned and I think Ferres should have had to wait his time could also say the same about Lunty.
for wigan i'd go with
grix
jerry
murphy
wardle
blackmore
bailey
brough
Patrick
wood
mullally
ta'ai
ferres
Lawrence
Johnson
lunt
chan

Mullally not in either!
Dropping 2 starting props is a big call...whilst a third is on loan at Bradford.
Fingers crossed pa has got it right.

Mullally is named in zaminer squad but not on website- thought I was going mad earlier having seen mullally down and after a discussion with other half about kopczak missing and having only mullally and Eorl as proper props!
