Warrington squad: Ryan Atkins, Kevin Brown, Daryl Clark, Mike Cooper, Dom Crosby, Ben Currie, Bryson Goodwin, Chris Hill, Jack Hughes, George King, Tom Lineham, Harvey Livett, Ben Murdoch-Masila, Declan Patton, Joe Philbin, Stefan Ratchford, Matty Russell, Morgan Smith, Ben Westwood.

Wow We play crap and so Mitch Brown is dropped from the 19 having not even played. So unless he as got an injury in training how does that happen.

Well just read it all again and no mention of an injury.

As you were then lads. One of our few options for pressuring a backs starting place is not even in the 19.

That's the only team i can put together from that 19. It's going to be another long game.

Harvey Livett Right Centre, with Ryan Atkins Right Wing.

Russell to play for Rochdale this weekend if they have a match

That’s a bit harsh on Rochdale - what have done to deserve that?

That’s just wishful thinking.

I would leave Westwood out before King, and Livett instead of Patton, Patton on the bench, lol I’m no better than you really with what to go with,except deffo leave Westwood out.

our pack is in no way big enough off the bench. I agree Westwood sohouldn't be in the team but until Akualoa and Crosby are 100% every week we need him. regardless of how much of a liability he is.

See your point,it’s just the liability issue for me.

I would send him to Timbuktu but they don`t have a Rugby League team.

I hope he has a blinder. I really do. After the thread this week i see most people agree with my mindset on Russell. If i see another performance and an appearance in next weeks squad it will send me under!

Hat Trick, try saving tackle and a length of the field chase back. Can someone on the betting thread get me odds?

1,000,000,000/1

Dont be surprised if we dont see BMM tomorrow either!!

Oh dear lord....time to lump on widnes

Is he homesick aswell,wants to go back to Salford.

Not quite, although i hear he has been touch and go all week, don't know the exact injury though. He hasn't exactly set the world alight has he, so would be much of a miss. Lack of match fitness and no preseason as we couldn't find him for 2 weeks after world cup..............apparently.

Hasn't he pretty much always been like that though? Didn't seem to do him much harm at Salford...

I was at the Huddersfield vs Warrington Game (Wakefield Fan) and BMM had a fairly good game, decent in defence, ran some decent impactful lines and even put a few good hits on.

The problem with Warrington seems to the fact there's no depth in your squad, poor bench however Joe Philbin added something when coming onto the pitch the rest were awful but maybe that was something to do with the Giants already having momentum.

Yeah he has, I was referring to the fact he is unfit as opposed to being leaner, tongue in cheek maybe.

Either way, he looks unfit, think i've seem a couple of decent 'rampaging' runs of his in 2 games.....Just hoping they all come good, this negative feeling ive got, to everything concerned with this team so far, is not good. I promised to be more positive this year but i just cant help it!!

Philbin is one of the very few players to come out with any credibility in the first couple of games....
