How do you explain him missing out on the 17 last Sunday?

Or is this just your attempt to stir it up,if people want to say he is crap then they can equally people can say he is great so dont bother telling people to say nothing everyone entitled to an opinion right or wrong.

Would like to see Blythe given a role in the centres. He did not deserve to lose his starting place there when the big names came back a few weeks ago.
Not sure abiut the best bench for this one but went for 2 props, 1 second row ( Solo ) and an interchange hooker. Any injuries to the backline and Grix can slot in from LF.

Clarke & O Brien to miss out

is riley the new penny ? never gonna get a proper game no matter what he does lol

Don't see the point in having O'Brien in the squad if he aint going to play. Didn't see him last week but heard he didn't look out of place and linked well with Briers. So stick him in there and see how he goes in superleague.

He's moved down the pecking order for wingers I'm afraid, he will have to bide his time until King leaves them he might get a wing slot ahead of Williams

come on now people clarke isn't in form or at our level any more especially when we got monas. the point of interchange is to replace the players and still play at the same level and intensity. i hate to say but i can see him at widnes next year.

I'd like to see O'Brien given another opportunity.

I'm not too keen on anyone else partnering Briers in Myler's absence. Even Monas.

Cooper and Clarke to miss out.

Don't think Warrington have a problem putting "kids in pivotal roles" seems as we have Myler who is the same age as Gaskell and Lomax at Saints (who are only playing due to injuries and mardy lips anyway) as our first choice scrum-half.

The concern I have with O'Brien is that him and Briers play a similar type of game and do not compliement each other in the way Briers' and Myler's games do. Its all well and good Briers chasing the short reverse-kick under the sticks ala Myler against Keighley but I don't want him doing that role against Super League clubs.

Yeah, appreciate Myler is very young himself PY, but I meant more in terms of bringing somebody up from the Academy if you know what I mean? Its a massive step up for O'Brien where as Myler has played International already. The likes of Lomax got chucked in the deep end and didn't drown whatsoever.

Therefore, I do have faith in the lad. He'd be partnered with basically a wizard in Briers so he doesn't need to feel too pressured. As for that kick yes, definately wouldn't want to see too much of that against Cas but to be fair, our attacking prowess, kicking game and offloading has served us well so far this year. Doing 'banana' kicks or reverse kicks etc should be welcomed if you have the ability to do it with the right timing and in the right field position.

Aslong as our forwards dominate, as we'd fully expect, then a couple of gambles whether they succeed or not shouldn't prevent us from winning this one. No disrespect to Cas there either.

Just my opinion ofcourse.

I seem to recall Lomax getting plenty of game time away from the halves before being given a run there. O'Brien filling Myler's role in the team would mean him moving away from his natural game, I was referring to the kick last week as Briers was taking the Myler role/positioning.

Don't get me wrong I'm a big fan of O'Brien and would love him to get a chance on Friday but I just think that Smith will go with Grix in the halves as he has been the best "stand-in" there this year to date.

Either way I've lumped on Warrington at -16 on the handicap as I think we are going to run up a big score again on Friday.

Heir apparent?

Jon Clarke annd Cooper both deserve their places.

MM to miss out? Surely you are FJ?

I believe Jon Clarke is a superior player and his distribution is second to none.

That'll do. Wasn't sure if you were on the wind-up or not. Now i am convinced.

I've seen you on here before, I've heard more sense spoken by a Wiganer.

Wind up merchant

This really has to be a wind-up - I am actually a supporter of Jon Clarke but no way is he superior to Monas!!

I am genuinely a big Jon Clarke fan, and do believe his ball distribution is fantastic, but he and Monas have contrasting styles of play, my criticism of Monas is he gets over-excited when we get a quick play-the-ball and sometimes runs off without lifting his head.

I dont post on here often anymore, but you my friend need some help!!

God forbid I praise a player people hate and criticise a player people love, maybe you and the masses need help?

I'm not saying Monas isn't a good player i'm just pointing out a flaw in his game.

OMG! YOU ARE A DINGUS!

Constructive.

Big Dave and Gaz OB to miss out for me.
