WOLVES SQUAD

4 Ryan Atkins; 33 Ryan Bailey; 9 Daryl Clark; 11 Ben Currie; 16 Brad Dwyer; 3 Rhys Evans; 8 Chris Hill; 12 Jack Hughes; 18 George King; 24 Toby King; 2 Tom Lineham; 26 Declan Patton; 20 Kevin Penny; 6 Stefan Ratchford; 5 Matty Russell; 7 Chris Sandow; 10 Ashton Sims; 14 Joe Westerman; 13 Ben Westwood

Wonder if he is going to put Ratchford in to the halves and move Russell back to FB and Lineham back on the wing seeing as he is included in the squad.

I wouldn't move Ratchford to the halfs - unless Patton had a mare vs Hull KR?

T King and Lineham to miss out for me, Westwood back to the bench

I suppose Toby king has an outside chance of getting a game (unless he played poorly last week) - assuming that Atkins is going at the end of the season. And Tom Lineham might possibly be given a run. But yes, I would agree that your pick is the most likely scenario as we definitely need to take the points and build confidence. That for me is the key issue that decides the choice of players.

We definitely need the points both from a confidence POV and also not encourage 'you know who' that they have a sniff of 4th at our expense.

Atkins back in for me, as he's had a rest and was on form. I think that there must be a chance of Lineham getting a run and karetaker's suggestion of Ratchford to the halves and Russell to FB coming off

It's the only reason I can think of for Lineham's inclusion in the squad.

From looking at the Salford squad I'd imagine we'll line up something like this:

1. O'Brien
2. Caton-Brown
3. J.Griffin
4. Sa'u
5. Johnson
6. Lui
7. Dobson
8. Kopczak
9. Tomkins
10. G.Griffin
11. Murdoch-Masila
12. Jones
13. Flanagan

14. Kenny
15. Hauraki
16. Lannon
17. One Of The Walne Brothers.

W O Have I missed something,where is Atkins going ?

Rumour is back to Wakefield.

Huddersfield's in the mix as well.

From what I am hearing. Lineham is starting tonight in place of Penny. Patton starting. Not sure why though...

Unless Penny is carrying an injury I can't see the logic behind that one.

Me neither. Just what I have been told. I didn't go KR so couldn't comment. Nothing was said on the radio commentary about any sort of injury. Maybe Smith has thrown down a challenge to Lineham, possibly last chance to prove himself.

A win tonight does guarantee a top 4 spot at the split so we get the extra home game.
