Ok, less than a week to go, its exciting !!

Assuming all fit and ready to go, who would your 17 be ?

Mine

1. Kear
2. Williams
3. Hellewell
4. Foster
5. Naiqama
6. #33
7. Api
8. Slyney
9. Ackers
10. Thackray
11. Harrison
12. Garside
13. Ioane

14. Cunningham
15. Offerdahl
16. Bussey
17. Sid or Eliab

Defo no place for Walker, Macani or Magrin, Leatherbarrow and Sid/Eliab in 19

Cannot really argue with your selection, I just wonder if Wes is fit though.

Ioane at loose forward?? No chance imo.
And that bench looks far too lightweight.

Plus Soward at 6, not 7.

Is Soward not already at 6

Yes I think you have Soward at 6, agree the bench looks light, can't we find/shove in some big prop? Hock and co may smash this team?

Actually, where' s Battye?

Wind up Gareth try and get a reaction off him, get him in the bin for a while

Ouch, how could I forget Eddie !!! Bench spot instead of Syd/Israel.

My view heavyweight pack from the start, not uncommon these days to have a 'prop' at loose forward. The reason we did so well at LSV was good go forward and aggressive defence (and one half of refs decisions), the reason we got pumped at home no go forward, no aggressive defence.

Oops, I meant at 7, not 6

anyone heard how long before the frenchman is back? I think we have missed him a bit

No one can really complain about the standard of ref for this week looks like we have Mr Thaler

Quite a surprise that Macani, Magrin, Leatherbarrow and Walker are in the 19 man squad. Hendo must know his team.

I'd say !!! After Halifax game I wouldnt let Macani near the pitch even as water carrier. Walker is too soft. What I want to know is where is Wes and Foster, the latter a stand out all season ?

Kear must be full back, maybe he is considering Api at centre, Leatherbarrow and Soward in halves ? Either way, for me its a buggers muddle and not the sort of line up we should be going into the Leigh game with.

Most important game of the middle 8s and I'm not impressed by this squad. It's a shame that eliabs been disappointing and Barthau injured as leatherbarrow doesn't impress me at all. Macani also hasn't done much this season to get excited by his selection.
No point moping though hopefully AH knows what he is doing and we surprise everyone tomorrow.

The forwards will win and lose this game. They were cleaned out by Leigh at home. They really need to front up and face the aggression that Leigh's pack offer.

I'm fearful we may not be able to cope with there power but hope to be proved wrong!

This would be a brilliant win if they could pull it off.
