Close call between Murrell and Newton as to who is the bigger thug, think Murrell is just trying to carry out Morgans wishes whereas Newton,well, thug is possibly being kind to him

washy to 13, fitzy to secound row and burnett for tickle on bench. hall to left wing with turner in at right centre to replace briscoe and a straight swap moa for either cusack,dowes or radders

Think we should rest as many as possible , as wire will beet most teams this year and save ourselves for back to back wins against Leeds !!

weather forecast is heavy rain on monday, this could make the game winnable as it could be a leveller

Don't forget Warrington will also have to rotate players after a physical game vs. Salford (not quite derby intensity though!). I expect both teams to make 3/4 changes.

Turner for Briscoe
Burnett/Washy for Tickle
Moa for Yak/Radford

1. Tansey
2. Whiting
3. Turner
4. Yeaman
5. Hall (I'd like to keep him at centre but we just cant)
6. Horne
7. Long
8. Cusack
9. Berrigan
10. Moa
11. Burnett
12. Manu
13. Washbrook

14. O'Meley
15. Dowes
16. Fitzgibbon
17. Houghton

Same as you but O Meley starts, Moa bench.

the reason i went the way is o'meley's our better impact prop and cusacks our better 'workhorse'.

while having them both on the same makes us stronger when dowes and moa come on we'll be a lot weaker. split them up and instaed of having 9/10 prop combinations on to start been replaced by 6-7/10 prop combinations we can have 7.5-8/10 prop combinations on for the full 80.

Will be interesting to see what side the 20s put out today with Monday in mind.

Our game v solly was an odd low intensity game. We won in first gear. That said, we dropped a hell of a lot of ball and had to defend back toback sets at times. We'llbe tired, but watching your game v KR, we should be in better nick.

Briers may come back with Westwood and Harrison missing out.
