Early for a next week team thread, however joel and FAZ back in contention.

2 / 3 more weeks till Pat is available

Loads of options available. Here is my pick:

Sam
Goulding
Joel
Carmont
Amos
Finch
Tommy
Coley
Micky Mac
Preccy
H
Hoffman
Lockers

Lima
Mossop
Tuson
Faz

18TH Man - Charnley
19th Man - MARSH

I would go with that side except Charnley on the bench instead of Tuson. Hansen, Hoffman and Faz are all capable of playing 80 minutes and Joel can move into the pack and do 80 minutes too if necessary so I don't see the need to have two back rows on the bench. Charnley would offer cover and allow Leuluai to move to hooker through either O'Loughlin or Sam moving to 6.

Mine would be

Sam
Charnley
Joel
Carmont
Roberts
Finch
Deacon
Coley
Tommy
Prescott
H
Hoff
Lockers

Lima
Mossop
Faz
Mickey

Robert at FB
Sam back to hb with finch please. This experiment needs to stop
Lulu and mac spelling 9

Faz on bench

Tricky 18th man is us

Roberts
Goulding
Marsh
Carmont
Charnley
Finch
Sam
Prescott
McIlorum
Coley
Hansen
Hoffman
O'Louglin

Tommy
Lima
Mossop
JT/Farrell

Finch not ready, 2 weeks in the 21s for me, id be tempted to give Lima a game out the first team aswell.

Correct!!

Putting it simply we cant afford the luxury of playing our most creative player at FB. Especially when you look at the lack of quality we have in the halves. In addition opposition teams have worked us out, they watch Sam chime into the line and nail him. We need a half back partnership based on our best two half backs (Sam & Finch), and we need to persevere with it. Tommy must play hooker and be spelled with Mickey..he is not, and never will be, a 7. All this moving the 6, 7, 9 and 13 around is disrupting the team and leads to a lack of cohision and attacking flare - its also doing my head in!

Time to sort it out Wigan.

will there still be tickets left for this on monday

1. Roberts
2. Goulding
3. Joel tomkins
4. Carmont
5. Charnley
6. Sam tomkins
7. Finch
8. Coley
9. Leuluai
10. Prescott
11. Hoffman
12. Hansen
13. O'loughlin

14. Lima
15. Mossop
16. Farrell
17. Mcillorum

Finch is clearly not ready yet.

Roberts at 1.
Sam at 6.
Charnley at centre instead of Marsh.
Farrell shoud play! We missed him.

I think there'll still be tickets left for this come Friday at 8pm. Can't see it selling out so paying on gate shouldn't be an issue and would imagine there's still plenty of our allocation left at the ticket office prior to them being sent back on thrusday presumably.
