I’m presuming Ackers is injured but I’m surprised he’s dropped Oledzki and Batchelor. Of course I’m biased but Batchelor is coming off the back of an outstanding season.'"
Agreed. Bathecolor has been excellent and should be in ahead of McMeeken. I do think KPP offers something different but may be found wanting at this level atm |

Ackers missing is a real shame. Picking Mcmeeken over Batchelor is hardly a game changer. Cooper's stats are very strong so again I'm not sure him playing instead of Oledzki matters too much.
If Wane goes Tomkins, Welsby, Williams I think its a big gamble. Personally I think Sneyd needs to play with his kicking game.

I agree about Sneyd especially if its poor conditions too. His goal kicking is also a huge bonus. I can't see him not playing Tomkins or Williams so where does that leave Welsby? I can't see Welsby not in a 17. |

Wane did mention a couple of niggles, so presumably Oledzki would be one. I’d have had both Ackers and Batchelor in the 17 but maybe one or both is in the same boat. It’s a long tournament either way and you can guarantee that the side which plays on Saturday will change throughout and players will get opportunities to make themselves a certainty.

Who is Batchelor way ahead of? Certainly not Radley, Whitehead and Knowles. |

Wane may play Knowles at second row to get him and Radley in the team. |

Can't see that. I think it is more likely that Knowles will start on the bench and will come on as an interchange 9 to spell McIllorum. He's played 9 a few times at Saints. |

Whitehead definately, had a poor last couple of seasons at canberra. |

Radley more likely to be the surprise at #9 for me. |

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

George Williams to #9 and Welsby to #6? Wane has used Williams as an interchange #9 before.
I can understand Batchelor missing out, I think it'll be a close game and Batchelor is in the top two for both missed tackles and penalties conceded. Also he isn't a big metre maker. |

I don't disagree (even though he didn't get in the dream team) but he's not "way ahead" of any of those 3. |

I think styles make fights.
Being the best in SL doesn’t make you an automatic pick. |
