That's one of the reasons I would go with Charnley. Because of Pryces size it's difficult for him to turn quickly.

Saints used the tactic very effectively v Lesley Vainikolo.

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with Josh Veivers he is tipped for big things, I believe he is fully fit and he plays FB, why should we change the team around when we can bring in a FB for a FB??

fair point . madge will make the call in the week i am sure. maybe josh is not quite ready to be dropped in at such a crucial game against an in form wire team.

I think the fact that goulding didnt play in the reserves today would suggest that he will get the wing spot.

Looks like goulding may have been withdrawn from the reserves due to the injury to Phelps so that he is available for the wire game next week.

Josh's lack of pace would be a major concern, and he had very poor game last week (unusual for him) dropping the ball twice which gifted Wire reserves two tries.
On the plus side he is a very good organiser / talker from the back continually shouting players into position.

He may be in Maguires thought as he was withdrawn at half time yesterday.

Or he maybe on his way to Salford?

Permanent or loan?

The thing is like Ainscough and Tomkins last year we don't know how these lads will do untill they are put on the big stage, some will thrive some will choke. But we should let them have a go. Is his lack of pace so much of a problem with Roberts and Richards around him as long as his positional play is bang on. (After all Wellens has had a decent career and he is slower than a fat man, going to his first weight watchers meeting)

You give Wellens too much credit pal he aint that fast any more.

Josh Charnley is a very good call, but I'll make another call.



















Stefan Marsh. Play him at fullback. Keep Roberts and Richards on their wings where they are the most threatening and give that young lad a go.

I thank that fullback is Marshs best position, but as he hasn't played there for a while I think it would be too much of a risk.

I'd personally keep Amos on the wing and bring someone in to cover at fullback, that way it's of minimal disruption to rest of the team.

It's nice to think we have so much choice of whom to bring in, there's realistically 3 or 4 contenders for that spot.

I'm sure who ever comes in will do the job for us, afterall he'll have been selected by the messiah that is McGuire.

Sometimes you've just got to take them. Playing any one of Josh Charnley, Josh Vievers, Stefan Marsh, Shaun Ainscough, Darrell Goulding or Karl Pryce would be a risk. Some greater than others.

Stefan Marsh was just another option that people seemed to have overlooked. I don't think MaGuire will do that.

By the sounds of things I think Karl Pryce will get the nod on the wing.

I personally would keep Roberts and Richards on the wings due to King's aerial threat and play either Josh Vievers or Stefan Marsh at fullback. I would probably go for Stefan Marsh - did he have a good game against Leigh?

He did play well, took his tries, one he had to work for, the other was good centre play by Pryce. He also ran the ball out well and always looked like beating the first man.

As you say let's leave it to MM, he gets well paid to make those decisions. I hope whoever comes in plays well enough to put pressure on Phelps and the other players.
