when did long last play at hj ? must be a few years now ? he always injured

shame no Gaz-o. He really has looked skilled when I have seen him. Could think of worse times to try him out. WE could always have had grix on the bench as back up to LF or w/e he is playing this week.

Can't agree. He needs looking after for now. Play him in the cup match, not against one of the biggest packs in SL.

I agree that Hull are formidable and I can see the argument, but I think he will add so much to the game. He is an infinitely better half than Grix and Bridge. He can be protected in defense too. As I said I would at least give him a go and replace with Grix (plan B) if it goes pear shaped.

Going off league position Hull would be a good super league to start him on and the thought of Briers, Gaz and Hodgson tearing up Hull's notoriously lackluster defence (at times this season) is mouthwatering.

Some may argue in a perfect world that the challenge cup game would be as good a time as any for Gaz to be eased in but I think we may need him against Hull. Not just for Gaz's sake but for Warrington's

Also we need only look this season at players coming in and making positions their own. It is debatable as whether Gaz is ready (which is what this is about) I really couldn't gauge that as I haven't seen him as much as some spectators never mind as much as the training staff. But Lomaskell did well for Saints against Leeds. Evens and Blythe have performed well for Wire. Charnley is tearing up at Wigan. All of a skill level and ability as Gaz.

You never know he may flourish if given the opportunity.

Wouldn't worry mate, we wont' be 'formidable' tomorrow, we're in the bottom half of the table coming off a full on Derby against KR whilst Wire had a training run out against Salford.

Don't you just love the RL fixture computer.

Enjoy your day in the sun.

i'd go with:

joel
king
blythe
atkins
williams
hodgson
briers
moz
monas
carvell
anderson
westwood
harrison


solomona
higham
grix
wood

solomona can play prop and harrison can go there when grix comes on

Why move Hodgson from full back where he has been playing well?

You thbink he's a better halfback than Grix and Bridge, but you contradict yourself by saying that you've hardly seen him play. Under 20 to SL is a massive step. He has to be eased in in the cup match. You also under estimate Simon Grix. He'll do as good job on Monday, a very skilful all round player.

because he is a better playmaker than grix or clarke or anybody else who could be switched to halfback, i would have put gareth o'brien in but obviously hes not in the squad so i would go with hodgson. maybe put riley at full back with king on one wing and joel on the other.

A thought on Hodgson, he could play fullback in defence and half back in attack, Riles is a handy fullback.

He won't like, it was just a thought.

We've had a similar bench many times mate.

Hodgson
J.Monaghan
King
Atkins
Williams
Briers
M.Monaghan
Morley
Higham
Carvell
Anderson
Westwood
Harrison

Grix
Cooper
Wood
Solomona

Monas at 7 and Higham at 9 as for me those two were the best two players on Friday, in those positions so...

I know we have, I just think that Cooper is a better option on the bench to Grix, would rather have strength in forwards against Hull, especially if the warm weather continues and they need to be subbed regularly.

That said, whatever Smith chooses I will be happy with. ISWT.

Maybe start with Briersy and Grix in the halves, with Michael Monas at 9, and if things aren't going great then switch Monas to scrum-half but ISWT!

When you have got one of the worlds best hookers, why play him out of position!. Dont move players out of position for me if Myler is out then keep everybody else in their strongest positions and bring in a player to play scrum half. SIMPLES!!!
