I'd go with:

Mathers
Hicks
Bridge
King
Riley
Briers
Clarke
Morley
Monas
Carvell
Louis
Westwood
Harrison

Vinnie
Cooper
Mitchell
Johnson


I know we could do with another prop on the bench but can't think of any except rah, although i don't know if he will be available for selection

Rah should be available if he is playing in the reserves. I'd drop Johnson, his defense was poor last night and we all know (Thanks to Gary) that he wouldn't mind playing for Wigan again. I'd only have a team 100% committed to Warrington, especially when the game is as large as this for the players, the club and the fans.

Well ours is looking like:

Mathers - Phelps
Hicks - Roberts
Bridge - Gleeson
King - Carmont
Riley - Richards
Briers - Sam T
Clarke - Leuluai
Morley - Prescott
Monas - Riddell
Carvell - Coley
Louis - Hansen
Westwood Bailey
Harrison - O'Loughlin/Flanagan (depending on O'Ls return..)

Vinnie - Mossop
Cooper - Feka
Mitchell - Fielden
Johnson - Flanagan/Joel T (depending on O'Ls return)

Really looking forward to the match its shaping up to be a blinder with both teams on form, cya on Sat

I agree with that team totally, no need for Rah as it would be very harsh to drop Mitchell...

Drop Johnson and put rah on the bench. Simples

Although i see were your coming from if we have a problem in the backs at least Johnson can cover Wing or Centre not forgetting second row, Rauhihi can only play one position for about 30 mins, so although Johnson isn't the best defender he still offers more than Rauhihi.

I personally think Saturdays game will be won in the forwards and with Morley, Carvell and Harrison all three can play a considerable amount of time compared to someone like Feka who can only manage 25 out of the 80 mins, We then have Mitchell and Cooper who have been going great for us in the past two games.

I think he'll go with:-

Mathers
Hicks
Johnson
King
Riley
Bridge
Briers
Morley
Monas
Carvell
Louis
Westwood
Harrison

Vinnie
Cooper
Clarke
Rah

But, having said all that, he may well start with Monnas at 7, and have Bridge in the centres, Clarke at starting Hooker, and rotate - but I hope not...But at least we've plenty of options - we all have our own opinions who should start where, and all have our own good reasons for those picks - which again is a good thing.

But I totally agree - it will come down to the forwards - and Cooper and ANO prop will have a massive part to play, as they will more than likely be spending some time up against Wigans best two off their bench...it really is toooooo close to call!!! But as the most pesamistic Wire fan in the world, I go for Wigan by 14.

Feka played 60+ minutes on Friday.

Sure



He only played 25-30 against Leeds and one point when coming on the field Eddie Hemmings said "Here comes Paleaaesina for his 10 minutes"

christ bet he was knackered

Played, or was on the pitch?

60 or 6?

Rauhihi? We had enough trouble keeping the ball against Leeds without him playing. He can stay in the reserves and sit out his contract.

Johnson although not playing well at the moment (lenghty lay off so wont be too hrash) offers the versatility we need to cover injury.

I know one person who may want Rah in the side on saturday

Me, me, meeeee.........

What was he playing Cards

Eddited for accuracy....

And it showed!

I know it makes little difference these days, but I'd go with Briers at 7 and have him dictate from first reciever, with Clarke or Bridge at 6, depending on whether Che Smith wants in the pack or off the bench.

Monas should remain at hooker for the remainder of his tenure in the PnB.

Agree.

1 Mathers
2 Hicks
3 Bridge
4 King
5 Riley
6 Clarke (rotating with Monaghan)
7 Briers
8 Morley
9 Monaghan
10 Carvell
11 Westwood
12 L Anderson
13 Harrison

14 Johnson
15 Cooper
16 V Anderson
17 Mitchell/Rauhihi

Looks good to me. Wonder what the injury situation is?

Personally, i'd like a second prop on the bench
