| Quote 21-12="21-12"Gelling and Spencer to miss.
1. Tomkins

7. Leuluai
8. Prescott
9. Micky Mac
10. Lima
11. Hansen
12. Hock
13. Lockers
14. Tuson
15. Hughes
16. Mellor
17. Dudson
Looking at the squad its likely Hock will move to prop at some point with Tuson in the second row. Dudson will interchange with Lima, unless he uses Tuson as a second hooker.
Very weak bench who ever misses out IMO, We need HUGE games from Prescott and Lima'"
I really don't think Prescott and Lima are going to be able to hold this side together. If I was Saints coach, I'd be bringing out the following pack
Perry Roby LMS
TP Sia
Flanaghan
This would be by far our most agressive pack and whilst your two boys maybe able to handle Perry and LMS, they cannnot cover all 6. It would be effectively like having to handle 4 props all at once and Sia, LMS and TP can all shift when they bust through. I doubt we will go with this as Wilkin is a certain to start, but even with Wilkin is does not stop the impact from our big 4. That would leave us with Flanaghan, Flannery, Clough and Megennis. Why maybe not household names they should be more than able to handle themselves at this level and Flanaghan inparticular can really crunch a few in the tackle. Both benches lack strike players, but our 4 can certainly hold the line and did so last week and the week before.
Hock would be the one player we will need to wrap up as he can create 2nd phase but we have tacklers who should be able to wrap him up man and ball.

| Yeah Lima and Prescott will need to handle a full pack because guys like Hock, Lockers and Hansen are mugs with no big game experience aren't they!
Jeez 2 wins bring 'them' out don't they!!

Lockers head choppers
Hock I think you may have missed that but I think I said that he was your packs main strike power
HH.... Meh!!

Well if you want to do a deal, how about we will keep it a points difference of 12 in Saints favour and then we can all have a nice rest for Easter monday.

| Massive step up for Dudson who's been playing for a team struggling at the wrong end of Championship 1. What a game for the guy to make a name for himself.

| I would definately keep Lima on the bench.
I see Lima, Mossop and Prescott as our main props, with all of them fit it doesnt matter who starts on the bench etc but with one of them out we need to have one starting and one on the bench because if we have to bring 2 of them off and replace them with the lesser props then we lose any fire power that we had in that match. It happened in the opening game vs Huddersfield, we started with Mossop and Lima and when those two came off and Flower and Lauaki came on we got absolutely bullied by their pack.
We need to keep one of Prescott and Lima on the pitch at all times on Friday.
I'd go with:
Tomkins
Charnley
Goulding
Carmont
Richards
Finch
Leuluai
Prescott
McIlorum
Hansen
Hock
Tuson
O'Loughlin
Lima
Mellor
Hughes
Spencer/Dudson depending on Spencers injury.
Gutted the Ginger Pearl is out, he has been in fantastic form recently.

That's the team that I would pick, although it seems like Wane has already made his decision to play Dudson.
I reckon he might go with his favoured 4 forwards on the bench and have Lima, Dudson, Hughes and Spencer, assuming Spencer is fit to play.
