. Paul Wellens, 2. Ade Gardner, 3. Jordan Turner, 4. Sia Soliola, 5. Francis Meli, 6. Lance Hohaia, 8. Josh Perry, 10. Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook, 12. Jon Wilkin, 14. Anthony Laffranchi, 15. Mark Flanagan, 16. Paul Clough, 19. Josh Jones, 21. Tom Makinson, 23. Nathan Ashe, 24. Joe Greenwood, 25. Alex Walmsley, 30. Mark Percival, 36. Stuart Howarth.

I would be very surprised if Gardner plays. He looked extremely poorly when he walked off on Friday. Surely it wouldn't be right to play him again on Monday?

So we are probably talking a side something like

Makinson
Percival
Jones
Turner
Meli
Hohoia
Wilkin
Perry
Howarth
Lafranchi
Soliola
Flanagan
Wellens

Subs: Clough, LMS, Walmsley, Greenwood.

Interesting how Lance makes the squad but didnt for the Wigan match.
Makes me wonder if Brown deliberately kept him out of the pie match not due to injury but as a means of keeping some of our attacking cards up our sleave.

I'd go the same, i like to think we SHOULD beat Cas with that. Leading us into two hard games with KR away and Catalan at home. Could do with Lomax back fully fit for them

Oh Chair Maker you are awful but I do like you.


Attacking cards,very good,very good.
Show and go Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh dont tell anyone.

Does not showing your attacking cards really work, Wiganers maybe backwards, but I'm sure they can afford some VHS if not DVD's to see our games when we don't play Wigan.

From that squad I'd say.

Tom Makinson, 2. Ade Gardner, 3. Jordan Turner, 30. Mark Percival (pretty sure he'll have a nice rest after this weekend), 5. Francis Meli,
12. Jon Wilkin, 6. Lance Hohaia,
8. Josh Perry, 36. Stuart Howarth. 10. Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook, 4. Sia Soliola, 14. Anthony Laffranchi, 15. Mark Flanagan,

16. Paul Clough, 19. Josh Jones, 24. Joe Greenwood, 25. Alex Walmsley,

Think we have managed to do this quite well for the past 7 seven years.

In this seasons deck we are hiding two jokers and a pair of queens.

Looks like a busted flush to me.

Admire the optimism though.

Hohaia and Gardner both out of the squad now according to the SL website, replaced by Adam Swift and James Tilley.

Who is James Tilley? Where does he play?

Tilley is captain of the under 19s and is a back rower.

So he will be our next number 6 then?



There is no change to the line up on the Saints website or anywhere else. However, that probably means nothing.

I'm surprised at no Charnock

Didn't see your game on Friday so just wondering if Manu is injured with him not being in your squad for tomorrow?

He has a hamstring injury.

Hamstring injury sustained on Good Friday

Thanks for the info. Rumour mill is in overdrive over at the moment. Everything from Willie wanting to come back to us signing Paul Cooke on loan until the end of the season.

That might not be a bad shout, considering your half back problems.

Ah, the Hull rumour mill. Strap in, it could be a bumpy ride.

I don't know if he played today at Orrell as I didn't get a team sheet, but Wigan won 46 - 0.

It's pretty bumpy in the Saints rumour mill just now!

I think it's an April fools that one. It's a good one though, there's enough happening with Dugan for it to be possible.

We could do with some rumours of players coming in, next season's looking pretty bleak at this rate!

you seen Cas squad?? walk in the park for you tomorrow. He has named some youngsters in squad as he wants to feature every player over easter. Id say good luck but not really needed.

No Owen, Webster, Ellis, Millington and Gilmour for Cas.
