Apparently Bitcon and Maguire's fat club consists of Feka, Ainy, O'carroll, Pryce with Riddell to be added i would surmise

Agreed.

Going off the comments made so far by Maguire it's going to be based on that and I don't have a clue who's upto scratch and who's not.

I'd like to see guys like Goulding, O'Carroll and Farrell play as proof they're over their injuries at the back end of last season.

Phelps
Ainscough
Thornley
Carmont
Richards
Mellor
Deacon
Prescott
McIllorum
O'Carroll [If fit
Mossop
Walker
Farrell

Davies
Coley
Gee
Fielden
O'Loughlin [If fit
J. Tomkins
Gleeson
Pryce

Jonny Walker & Liam Farrell are the two guys I really want to see get some game time this year. I'd personally pick them to start.

Wouldn't like to see Ainy any leaner than he already is. Same with O'Carroll.

Ainscough
Pryce
Gleeson
Roberts

Feka
Riddell

Farrell
Mossop
Tomkins

Bench made up of other young players and a bit of experience.

I would play mostly players who have things to prove, which is why Pryce, Gleeson, Roberts... etc are all in, along with some young players who need chance to impress.

we need to put out a good mix, id have a very youthful bench and a good experienced squad, the likes of feka and pryce need the fitness.

will this game be televised or not because its a friendly

No it won't be televised. I don't think Channel M have the budget anymore and didn't bother last year. If I can figure it out I may be doing updates Live from the game on my facebook.

didn't maguire say that the players who where on international duty won't feature giving him the chance to look at his squad

I'd have thought that on the pair of them but maybe the coaching staffs problem with them isn't that they're too big but just the weight they do have is puppy fat and not muscle.

I can't believe any coach would want O'Carroll smaller but he probably just wants him the same size or bigger in muscle.

TBH I can see our predictions being well out - if what we've been hearing is correct then players will only be selected on fitness and merit. And seeing as we have little/no clue on this.... could this spell the end for pre-match squad prediction threads????!!!!!!!
