19 for Huddersfield....

Louis Anderson, Ryan Atkins, Matty Blythe, Chris Bridge, Garreth Carvell, Jon Clarke, Mike Cooper, Rhys Evans, Simon Grix, Ben Harrison, Mickey Higham, Brett Hodgson, Joel Monaghan, Michael Monaghan, Adrian Morley, Richie Myler, David Solomona, Ben Westwood, Paul Wood.

Briers out with a dead leg.

Good to see Atkins, Anderson, Harrison and Westwood back.

Beat them without him last year. Not a one man team anymore.

Please don't play Monas at Stand off Mr Smith.



Time for Myler to fill Briers' boots

So whose fav to play stand off

Hodgson
Bridge
M Monaghan
Clarke
Grix ???

My line up would be :

1. Hodgson
2. Joel
3. Blythe
4. Atkins
5. Evans

6. Bridge
7. Myler

8. Morley
9. Monas
10. Carvell
11. Anderson
12. Westwood
13. Harrison

Interchange

14. Clarke
15. Wood
16. Higham
17. Solomona

Coops and Grix to miss out

I'd go with that apart from swap Coops with Clarke. We don't need two hookers on the bench and Hudds are a big side.

Grix or Bridge at 6.

Deffo Cooper on the bench instead of clarke.

Looks good although i can see Grix being in the 17 just for his versatility - who he replaces is another question - maybe a week to early for Anderson

Plus Hudds missing their 2 front line props - Mason & Griffin

Swap Clarke with Grix and thats my team!

Hodgson
J Monas
Bridge
Atkins
Evans

Grix
Myler

Morley
M Monas
Carvell
Anderson
Westwood
Harrison

Cooper
Wood
Higham
Solomona

As others have said not monas in the halfs plz.

1. J.Monas
2. Evans
3. Blythe
4. Bridge
5. Atkins

6. Hodgson
7. Myler

8. Morley
9. M.Monas
10. Carvell
11. Anderson
12. Westwood
13. Harrison

Interchange

14. Grix
15. Wood
16. Higham
17. Solomona

Coops and Clarke to miss out

I think I'd play Clarke in the halves with Myler before Grix.

Bridge has scored a hat-trick at Huddersfield before playing stand off. We've good options here, this is what Smith has tried to build so that we can compensate for the loss of any individual.

Grix, Clarke or Bridge. Tough one.

If Solomona was a tiny bit fitter, he could win you a game from stand off.

1.Hodgson
2.J monas
3.Bridge
4.Atkins/Blyth
5.Evans

6.Clarke
7.Myler

8. Morley
9. Monas
10. Carvell
11. Anderson
12. Westwood
13. Harrison

14. Grix
15. Wood
16. Higham
17. Solomona


Id go with Clarke at 6 so him and monas can switch posstions depending on the play, so we can use monas kicking game which is miles better than clarks and he's got abetter rugby brain to be 1st reciver when attacking there line on 4th/5th tackle

We don't want Monas in any other posistion, other than 9.

I've got Hodgson at 6, why not? won't happen just cos i wrote it.

I'm sure Juke will tell us the team

he's not supped his brew yet, he'll see it in the tea-leaves

I think a lot of people would like to see Hodgson at 6, I know I did when he was at Hudds - but it won't happen unfortunately.

mason, faalogo and griffin out for us, 3 first choice picks there for us



not looking good

any news on your squad? apart from the 3 listed above

We will miss Lee no doubt about it.
I would leave Clarke out for Grix, I am not sure about Bridgey in the half's, did I read a interview with him a while ago where he said he did not like playing at 6 or 7? I could be wrong about that though.

1. Bridge
2. Joel
3. Blythe
4. Atkins
5. Evans

6. Hodgson
7. Myler

8. Morley
9. Monas
10. Carvell
11. Anderson
12. Westwood
13. Harrison

Interchange

14. Grix
15. Wood
16. Higham
17. Solomona

Hodgson has a good rugby brain, don't see why he isn't being put in at 6?

he can certainly kick.

How is his long kick?

Bet365 have installed us as slight favourites for this game.
I agree with them and I am confident of a Wire win.
