I said a few times early on in the year that he was my biggest disappointment in a poor start because I expected him to have a huge year.

After today I'm thinking that knee may have held him back because he was outstanding I thought. He was big in defence and made loads of ground forward with superb leg drive.

Wane has confirmed after the game that Flower, Lockers, Charnley,Powell and Bateman are all fit to play in the Wire game so the competition is intense.

Thought his first stint was really good but a bit quiet in his second.

Team for Thursday will be really interesting.
Manfredi should keep his place.
Flower and Lockers will come straight in no doubt. Patrick and Tautai to drop out.
Bateman could take Logan's place on the bench with McIlorum doing 80 mins.

We can then put Powell back in against Wakefield.

Charnley can't and won't get back in. There's no need to put Powell in yet but the other three should come in.

I'd go-

Hampshire
Manfredi Gelling Sarginson Burgess
Williams Smith
Crosby McIlorum Mossop
Tomkins Farrell Bateman

Subs
Clubb Sutton O'Loughlin Flower

You've missed out Flower

Haha well edited

Agree with your team. Although probably start Lockers over Bateman.

That bench has me salivating in anticipation. It looks (and is) so much stronger than having Logan, so I would go with that against a big, tough pack like Warrington. Micky Mac did the first hour today - let him do the same on Thursday and if he then tires, put Lockers or Williams in at 9.

People who were at the game today, please: how do you think Williams went?

Lockers back in? Can only mean it's a game that matters to you lot.

He only plays finals doesn't he. And this is one (for you men).

Nice attempt. And I'll have a little bite.
Fairly sure it was one of your players that started punching ours in the last game. And no one has forgotten Westwood on Green 18 months ago either. That's the only rough housing I can remember in recent times.

Sims vs McIlorum could get tasty!

I'd agree with that 17, but I'd juggle them around bit, Lockers to start at 13, Bateman 2nd row, Farrell on the bench.

Few weeks back I'd have agreed but Faz looks back to his best to me. He had another big game today and linked well with Sarginson and Burgess.

I'd just hold Lockers back a little and ease him back in. He's our best player and if we're to win anything we'll need him fit at the back end of the year.

I'd also consider second thoughts on Ben Flower. Not sure we need the hype of a return against Wire on Sky so I'd maybe sneak him back in against Wakey away.
