SAINTS have announced their 19-man squad for Friday's First Utility Super League Round Four clash at Wakefield Trinity Wildcats.

Kyle Amor and Travis Burns are suspended for the clash whilst Jordan Turner returns.

Luke Walsh is still a few weeks away according to Head Coach Keiron Cunningham.

"I have said all along I would be foolish to try and push Luke Walsh just to go and play at Wakefield or just to play somewhere else," he said. "It is a long season; he will play and have a big influence on what we do.

"When he is ready he will be ready. I want him to be ready and stay in there, not be ready and go out and then be ready again and go out again.

"It's unlikely in the next week or two as he needs to be 100 per cent."

Saints' 17 will be chosen from:

1. Jonny Lomax, 2. Thomas Makinson, 3. Jordan Turner, 5. Adam Swift, 8. Mose Masoe, 9. James Roby, 11. Atelea Vea, 12. Jon Wilkin, 13. Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook, 14. Alex Walmsley, 15. Mark Flanagan, 16. Lance Hohaia, 17. Mark Percival, 18. Luke Thompson, 19. Greg Richards, 20. Paul Wellens, 21. Joe Greenwood, 22. Matty Dawson, 25. Andre Savelio.

Where's Jones?

Lomax
Makinson, Percival, Turner, Swift
Hohaia, Wilkin
Walmsley, Roby, Richards
Greenwood, Vea
LMS

Thompson, Mose, Savelio, Flash

Dawson and Wellens to drop out for me.

This couid be a tough game on Sunday. We will miss Amor and Burns big time.

I'd go:
Lomax
Makinson
Percival
Turner
Swift
Hohaia
Wilkin
Richards
Roby
Walmsley
Vea
Greenwood
Flanagan

Masoe
Savelio
Thompson
LMS

I'd prob go with that.


If Amor hadn't been banned I would have dropped Mose out the 17. Total waste of a shirt so far this year and offers nothing more than sav.

If it was down to me I'd also adopt St Rughead's line up. I just wonder if Swift will be okay, or indeed if KC values Lance because there's no doubt that if he doesn't feature this week, he very rarely will!

(were is Jones this week he did ok v's Cas)

Especially on Sunday

Man of the match to dropped. Well harsh. There was even an article stating they were considering their options and Jones may move into the pack. I do find it strange that they're just burning out two 2nd row.

Big deal I said wrong day.

I think Wakey will miss there main prop in Scott Anderson, 3 months with knee ligaments apparently, if Lance plays in the halves we should have enough to get winning points.

Wakey got well and truely hammered last week and looked terrible. We should have more than enough for them

You get your life they will be up for it after a hammering like that and being at home. I imagine they will come out on Fire.

I dont doubt it, but our defence (bar souths) has been very good this year and we should hold their early enthusiasm, til our forwards can take control

Can't see Wakey beating our pack even without Amor. In fact the lack of Amor takes away a bit of the beat the old boy up mentality that can occur.

It's a few years since Wakey were our bogey side.

On the positive, nice to see swift is in the side after his knock last week. With a full week of preparation behind us, we should be a tougher prospect than last week.

I could see us getting to Easter without a loss. Warrington showed last week they were not without vulnerabilities and they have a tough one the week before at Leeds.

I would never assume it's in the bag, but against Wakefield our previous record shows.

40 -16
24 - 16
26 - 12
52 - 18
32 - 33

So they never blow us off the park and the last win for them was 3 years ago by 1 point. Are they stronger this year than last??? Not sure.

I'd take us to win by 12.

Lomax
Makinson Percival Tuner Dawson
Hohaia Wilkin
LMS Roby Walmsley
Greenwood Vea
Flanagan

Savelio Thompson Richards Masoe

Radical but I would like to see:

Swift
Makinson Percival Turner Dawson
Lomax Hohaia
Richards Roby Walmsley
Greenwood Vea
Wilkin

Thompson, LMS, Masoe, Savelio

With Amor out I,m assuming KC will go for size and control the middle again which means Flash to miss out and Sav to come back in.
Hope Turner and Swift are fully fit otherwise it could be a bit of a turnstyle down that side. Lots of pressure back onto Wilkin with the abscence of Burns, so I hope he gets his options right for this game. Opportunity for Lance to stake a claim for a regular spot, so he needs to play positive and give the opposition problems in attack.

Big call for KC. Can he resist the urge to put Wello in? Hopefully Lance gets the nod, if he doesn't, why is he still at the club?

I'd go with this, if he puts a 35 year old fullback with the pace of a dead sloth in the team ahead of Hohaia then something has gone badly wrong.

Whats happened to Jones? surely not dropped after being MoM

The way KC often drops Jones is a mystery to me. I really like him as both a centre and a 13.

For me he's not quite a team player, he will do a good job and put in a good shift, but there is something missing in his game. Maybe KC has seen this in more detail, game last week for instance for his try he had a player outside and inside of him but preferred to bulldoze over the defender, if he had messed that up then I think KC might have had a word with him.

No idea how true it is, but seen a few rumours that negotiations to renew his contract have soured so maybe kc is trying to keep him out of the firing line while they can be ironed out?
