i was gonna post exactly what 85 has put.

I wasn't sure on the subs. I might have been tempted for Riley on the bench but that may be too controversial. I really think that line up could work.

1 Mathers
2 Hicks
3 Bridge
4 King
5 Atkins
6 Briers
7 Myler
8 Morley
9 Monas
10 Carvell
11 Louis
12 Westwood
13 Clarke

14 Higham
15 Wood
16 Harrison
17 Solomona

That would be My 17 for Friday. Harsh on Riley maybe but i just think at the moment that would be our strongest lineup .

Mathers

King
Atkins
Bridge
Hicks

Briers
Myler

Morley
Monas
Carvell
L Anderson
Westwood
Harrison

Subs
Wood
Cooper
Clarke
Solomona

Mickey Higham and Chris Riley to miss out. Cooper in to help combat the extra beef that Saints now have in their pack with the return of Soliaso and Faasamala. Both Benny W and Louis had a week off so they should be able to do more minutes than normal hence Vinnie being left out. With big Dave covering prop and 2nd row (when needed)

i think id slot bridge back in at centre with atkins on the wing in place of riley, tough call but im going for

mathers
hicks
king
bridge
atkins
briers
myler
morley
monas
carvell
westwood
anderson
harrison

clarke
solomona
wood
v.anderson

Not even in the squad.

Mathers
Hicks
King
Atkins
Riley
Briers
Myler
Morley
Monaghan
Carvell
L.Anderson
Westwood
Harrison

Clarke
Wood
Bridge
Solomona

Who I would play

Mathers

Hicks
King
Atkins
Riley

Briers
Myler

Morley
Monas
Carvell
L Anderson
Westwood
Harrison


Bridge
Solomona
Wood
Clarke/Higham

Not fussed here over who plays between Clarke and Higham. For once. Never liked Clarke but to be fair, Higham has been a bit gash himself recently.

As for Bridgey on the bench, this is merely because Riley, although not perfect, doesn't do enough wrong to be ommited tonight. Top try scorer too? Bridge can come on in spells when they're tiring upfront. He can play anywhere from 1 - 7 plus 9.

Cooper to miss out and Vinnie as he isn't in the 19 anyway!

Richie Myler isn't playing tonight. Not sure how he'll be feeling but he's going to have to sit this one out as well.

Smith named his 17 yesterday and gave them a very brief but very inspiring team talk.

Feel free to shoot me down, question my sources or bring this post up if Myler actually plays. I don't care whichever way.

"Poor lad"

Higham to miss out for sure, he's not been at his best the last few weeks.

Mathers

Hicks King Atkins Riley

Briers Monaghan

Morley Clarke Carvell

Westwood Louis

Harrison

Bridge Higham Wood Solomona

Wouldn't be surprised to see Cooper on the bench
instead of Higham. Might need a bit more size off
the bench.

If their bench really is Puletua, Soliola, Fasa and Clough, it must be close to the biggest ever.

Hicks may have a back problem, at physio this afternoon.

you know, i've been surprised at the lack of furore over the gradual return of monas to 7, considering how badly it went last time.


BTW any chance we can get some of our 200k back off salford for myler

and he still has his brain explosions at 7 now....

I reckon same team as Wembley with Bridge replacing Vinnie on the bench....

Myler is young and still a valueable asset to us still learning and his day will come,just needs patience.

going from what some people have said on our forum warrington accepted a transfer from hull fc for richie myler a few weeks but again turned us down becuase he dosent want to leave lancashire, he also turned us down when he was at salford

Have you seen his interception under our own sticks last week?

It was like going back in time two years.

hmmmm really dunno about this like monas at hooker. clarke will be in the team aboive higham as he deserves it the way he played in last few weeks,really impressed with clarke. bridge will be on bench.

Not doubting what has been said but you only have to listen to TS to see how highly he rates Myler and how he's looking forward to developing him.
I can't honestly remember a time when TS was very positive about a players future at Warrington only to get rid - so for me it's all gossip without foundation.

Having said that I don't see how Myler would play this week when we played so well against Leeds.
Given that Saints have a very big pack and bench I can't see him playing.
Also don't understand why people are pairing Bridge with Riley/Atkins as he's always played with Hicks and Atkins/King don't do too badly....



So for me (if Hicks is OK) -

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

Wood
Higham
Solomona
Cooper

God yes.

i heard it was cooper and riley he is planning to sit out????

i heard hes playing gareth o'brien at 7

thought i might aswell join in with the rumours...

i heard this topic is completely false and myler is playing at 7 today?

He (Myler) is now becoming a problem as we need to get Monaghan back to hooker and away from halfback.
