I would hope Wheeler would play there, not Flannery. Wheeler has been very good there this season already. Potter would be foolish not to play him for Gidley.

We already have one lazy Samoan international in the pack, another one against a pack the size of Warringtons would leave the other forwards with far too much work (maybe a tad harsh on Puletua, but he needs to look interested after the last few weeks).



Definately. The lack of centre play against Salford was obvious, if Wheeler is fit he should play there.

I have a feeling Wire will win this.

good news for us.

Really



He is an inspirational player when on form. He'll be out to impress if he makes his debut against us.

Exactly. Whether he plays or not I'm not to sure. Me thinks its just mind games from TS, I'd be surprised if he does play.

If Carney is playing i am sure saints will test him with some bombs as he may be a bit rusty . If he does catch a bomb i hope for your sake he doesn't kick it out on the full as he may still think he is playing that horiable game of union lol !!!!!!!

According to the St.Helens paper today Gidley could well play!
Huge boost if so

If we were worried about king being the main threat to our right, you could get Pryce to mark him out wide?

Eastmond has to play 7. Anything else would be lunicy.

What did Dixon do wrong in the last game. He seemed to provide more in attack than Ashurst. I would not be suprised if he gets to play a head of Ashurst (if indeed Wilkin does play).

They could always swap around during the game if we were under major pressure.

On the 7 question, for me it has to be Eastmond. And it has to be for the rest of the season. There comes a point when he has to be tested with a run of games and it may as well be now.

MoM in League Express too IIRC.

Yes really.

I have doubts over a 30-odd year old winger who has hardly played in ages being fully fit and/or upto match speed. I'd rather have to face him than Riley or Hicks, who, to make way for him would have to be dropped.

looks weird without long in your side i must say ,, always breaks wires hearts , still got good players tho e.g - wellens pryce roby graham ,, l like eastmond and lomax but whats young emit like ?

Team for Saturday is

Wellens
Gardner
Flannery
Wheeler
Meli
Pryce
Eastmond
Puletua
Roby
Graham
Wilkin
Gilmour
Clough

Bench is

Fasavalu
Hargreaves
Lomax
Dixon

I'd be happy with that but IMO swap Gilmour & Flannery and also swap Wilkin & Clough... also a toss up between Lomax and Ellis for interchange Hooker

How about Leon in the centre & Wheeler / Eastmond 6&7



With Leon in the centre's more attacking.. IMO



Or Leon still in the centre's, Wilkin at 6 & have a bigger pack?

Looked on the betting on skybet, wolfie's are fav

Correct, that is exact team to what I have also heard from a good source

Pretty much world class and capable of putting 38 points on the warrington team.

Briers, Hicks and Morley are not playing.

Hicks in injured I think.

Sup with him? Need to know for fantasy league purposes, had him in for a hat trick and 6 goals against us tomorrow.

That was a complete joke, IMO the journalist, just decided to pick Dixon because he scored a try it had no basis on performance.

Check out his stats for the Salford match. Dixon was only on for a limited amount of time and only made a few tackles and drives.

MOM at Salford for Saints was Maurie.

Thought Cloughie did more, Maurie did indeed give us some oomph in th 2nd half though.

Hicks looks like he's out for a few weeks.

On a brighter note, for you lot, it looks like Briers is not ready to return yet, obviously Rah and Higham are both out, and apparently Morley is out for 3 weeks.



So, things look pretty level on an injury front.

Oh well, I've waited long enough, I guess another year or two won't hurt....
