If it wasn't for the fact it's a local derby you could make a case for both teams resting a couple of players with knocks for the bigger battles ahead.the fact is tho it is a local derby and I expect both teams to go for it as usual.only silver lining for whoever loses is it won't be season destroying.

Somebody on here said that Hirst has an EGP available, so should be okay to play ??

Hirst has got a £300 fine,that's all.

Hirst didn't get a fine he got NFA (no further action)

How long can we keep leaving Jowitt out before he starts to get itchy feet? Would love to see his name back in the squad.

Despite numerous enquiries from Warrington about Jowitt he's still here, maybe the itchy feet hasn't quite reached the tickling stage just yet.

Why would he go to Warrington - he has ambition!

So even though Grix played well against Warrington, people still want him dropped for Max Jowitt. You'd be forgiven for thinking it's actually a 25 year old Billy Slater who can't get in the team the way some people go on.

because a forum should allow posters to have an opinion. we have on more 3/4s available but Max still cant get in

I would rather see Grix get embarrassed tomorrow by his opposite number then Jowitt.

What a sorry state your in if you'd want any Wakey player embarrassed.

He didn't, it was Warrington that wanted him.

More expecting than wanting. And out of the two I'd rather Grix go up against Hardaker and Gale than Jowitt at this moment in time.

I'm sure they will have been working on their defensive structure to nullify not just Gale and Hardaker but the whole attacking unit, because once you start thinking about individual players and how to stop them, another one pops up and rips you to pieces.

Line speed in defence needs to tip top and please pressure the kicker otherwise Gale will have a field day.
