D Smith, Godinet, Jowitt OUT of 19 man squad

Annakin and Wildie are both fit while I think Lauitiiti is still a week away

Im guessing that Jowitt was in the 19 for experience in being around 1st team preperations while D Smith and Godinet have picked up a knock.

big suprise is that theres still no Kirmond

Tough to decide who to miss out. Wildie for Godinet, Anderson for Smith. Anakinn to miss out but who to miss out for Ali, if anyone?? Do you change a winning side?

oh dear, widnes fans putting in excuses because THALER is the ref. Don't they realize he supports Cas?

Daniel smith?

Annakin and Raleigh to miss out for me

Going by that squad for me it's Wildie for Godinet, Lauitiiti for Smith and Anderson for Raleigh.

Webster said Ali was fit for Leeds game but didn't want to risk him.
Got to play him if he's ready and at home against a misfiring Widnes side, could be as good a time as any.
The long layoff to ensure Keinhorst lasted the entire game worked pretty well.

The squad in full is:

Richard MATHERS
Reece LYNE
Paul SYKES
Scott ANDERSON
Paul McSHANE (c)
Andy RALEIGH
Ali LAUITIITI
Danny WASHBROOK
Matty WILDIE
Matt RYAN
Richard MOORE
Taulima TAUTAI
Jimmy KEINHORST
Chris ANNAKIN
Nick SCRUTON
Chris RILEY
Richard OWEN
Lee GILMOUR
Tim SMITH




Be interesting to see who misses out. Wildie must come straight in for Godinet but the other changes I don't know.
I'd like to see Annakin play but can't justify dropping anyone for him at the minute.
Anderson back in for Raleigh or in for Smith and keep Raleigh in as well.
Lauitiiti is a bit different in terms of justifying dropping someone - if he's fit he should play but who gets dropped?

I'm not sure going with 3 props plus Ali will be what we need. Certainly Ali needs to be on the edges not in the middle.

Annakin in for Gilmour, he is the future, Gilmour is the past. Barring remarkable circumstances Trinity are likely to be in SL next year so let's start giving promising youngsters their opportunity.

Wildie naturally replaces Godinet and Lauitiiti in for Raleigh.

Much as I like him, I'd leave Annakin out as the others have done a good job and Scott Anderson has to play in front row. I'm torn as Annakin is indeed the future.

If Ali is fit then he should play but not sure whether to drop Raleigh or Gilmour. Both got stuck in last week. Probably Raleigh
Possibly put Ryan back in the centre but Kienhorst really needs game time to get our money's worth out of him.

Anderson, Scruton, Tautai & Moore would be the props, Ali in for Raleigh who understandably looked very rusty last week and this game is must win. Whilst Ali will also be rusty he's got that x-factor about him and could be a match winner. I'd give Raleigh a trip to the south of france next week though when we need a big pack.

Out of interest has it been confirmed anywhere regarding an injury to Walshaw?

Not really bothered about the choice of the 17 for tomorrow other than the concern regarding the number of players who are probably not match fit ie Raleigh and Keinhorst having one match under their belt after a long period out. Ali hasn't played for a good while and its a while since Wildie and Annakin have played. I wouldn't want us bringing in too many players at once who are not fully match fit when there is no need.
