Andy Wilson tweeted that if Sam gets suspended tonight we are planning on recalling Joe Mellor from Quins for Fridays game, and there is a chance of a Brett Finch debut vs Wire.

Havent really seen much of Mellor so cant comment on him but if Finch is fully fit and ready to go I would definitely throw him in at the earliest opportunity, even if its in such a big game as Wire at home. The current coaching staff won't let him play until hes ready but the addition of a top class half back would certainly be welcome for this game. Hopefully Sam will get no more than 1 match ban.

Surely it would make more sense to recall Pryce

I'm guessing it will also depend on Deacon's injury situation as well as Sam's disciplinary hearing.

We've potentially got only one halfback in the squad for Friday (who also happens to play hooker), but 5 who can play in the three quarters. It's halfbacks we're short off. I'd expect Locky to play 6 on Friday and if Mellor is called back to be 18th man as cover for injuries.

It's worrying how weak our kicking game is with only one player (Deacon) out.

They may also feel that seeing as Pryce is playing well it could be more to his benefit to stay in a settled team.

I think he's played well in patches at Wigan, but then has been back out of the side. He needs to play 75% of games this year to prove he is fully fit, and get some serious form back.

The squad sure is being tested at the moment. All hands to the pump.

Its credit to our squad depth though that we can have all these injuries and still put out a side who could win the game comfortably.

You think we'll win the game comfortably with Sam (possibly), Deacon (possibly), Joel (probably), Finch, Fielden, Gleeson & Richards missing?

I think we'll have to put in one all mighty effort to win on Friday.

No teams will go to Huddersfield this year confident of a comfortable win.

Huddersfield would have to start favourites but I think we've still got a decent shot. The pack is pretty much OK and almost the same as last year but with Lima replacing Fielden and Tuson replacing Tomkins. Tuson deserves a crack anyway.

Wouldn't throw Mellor in yet. Amos would come in at fullback, O'Loughlin at 6 where despite misgivings he has played well in the recent past. Move Mossop to the second row and bring Ben Davies in.

This is assuming of course that everyone on the maybe list is out. Sam, Joel and Deacon are not definites to miss out yet.

Does anybody else think that were missing Piggy this season?
