A great injustice if that happens.

McIlorum got battered on Friday and Joel IMO was very quiet, so I am expecting him to be replaced by Hansen who played well in the reserves.

I am really struggling to see why we don't play Ainscough on Friday.

Still, guess I am not paid the cabbage to worry about that.


Tbh though, Nobby has to make these calls and be judged by the results.

McIlorum and J Tomkins to miss out for me.

Piggy and Joel if I was picking it.

im dreading the 17 on friday i ve got a feeling noddy is going to play the same team as last week an not play sam

Hansen is defo in for Joel.

Working and resting at the same time eh

ridiculous again

This is difficult. We have an unbalanced squad with two "specialist" hookers plus Tommy, who could be said to be better than either of them. So it would seem logical for one of them to miss out. Hard though it seems, I would rest McIlorum on the grounds that Piggy is more likely to open Warrington up and we will need all the creativity we can muster. IMO it was our failing last week.

The other misser depends on the injury situation. We appeared to have a few knocks from last week, but my concern is over Carmont and Hock who seem to have been struggling with injuries for some time and I would have rested them, but as they are in the squad I think we need both their creative attributes if only for some of the game. Both of these IMO are a bit suspect in defence at the best of times and in view of their injuries would pick the more defensive Hansen rather than Joel who I think has struggled to make an impression for most of this season and has not run the lines we saw from him at the back end of last year.

So Joel Tomkins and McIlorum to miss out.

Ainscouh had three run ins last week, and yes you have to be in the right place to score them.

I have been really impressed with Josh Charnley on the wing in the reserves (he still qualifies for the U18 academy) he is a really hard working player and is probably faster over the distance than Ainscough, Ithink he could also make a good centre (what position did he play his junior rugby?)


Somebody (shooter69) I think said it could possibly be the same team as last week?

I don't think it will be. From the information I have been given, Hansen will play.

That team last week was not as bad as was made out by many on here. A poor kick, a fortunate bounce and a poor (diabolical) refereeing decision proved costly. That's how close it was.

Riddell and Joel Tomkins to miss out for me.

I did nt think we was bad last week only thing whts did my head in was sam getting dropped an riddel offerd nothing

Won't mind if it's the same team as last week they played very well, conditions will hopefully be lot better at least.

I think the selection will go right up to the match, all depending on Carmont and Hock.

I think J. Tomkins and another to miss (Carmont/Hock) if they play, I have a feeling McIlorum will miss out
