Warrington Squad

Sitaleki Akauola, Ryan Atkins, Kevin Brown, Josh Charnley, Daryl Clark, Mike Cooper, Dominic Crosby, Ben Currie, Bryson Goodwin, Chris Hill, Jack Hughes, George King, Toby King, Tom Lineham, Ben Murdoch-Masila, Joe Philbin, Stefan Ratchford, Tyrone Roberts, Ben Westwood

If fit enough Atkins and Crosby have to come in for me.

Tough decisions this week of the good kind for Price a strong 19, returning players, rewarding a bit of form and freshening things up?

Seems he expects Clark to do the full 80 aswell, will be some serious beef on the bench.

So if we lose Clark (during game) ... who is our main dummy half?

Brown? Currie to 6? Not sure to be honest ratchford could go to 9 but I'm not sure we have suitable cover for fullback either!

Just put another prop or backrower on if we lose Clark.
We would still have the spine of Ratchford Brown and Roberts anyway.
All the backs and Currie can scoot and/or pass from a dummy half position.

There is no doubt that there will be a cunning plan. Ben Currie to centre is a good call.
Ratchford could be the boy with Bryson Goodwin to FB. It might just be Bryson Goodwin as this would cause least disruption. Disrupting the main half-backs might not be a great idea but you never know.

Price Came in for Criticism towards the end of his St George days because he continually went with one Hooker with no option on the bench for an interchange.

I found the criticism very odd given teams like Melbourne Storm have always gone with Cameron Smith and no one else....

its clear he still favours the one hooker approach in superleague too, and to be fair it seems to be working as Clarke is playing some of his best rugby for Warrington.

any reason for the half one kick off

The weather forecast is horrible. It was for heavy lunchtime snow but I see now that it has changed to sleet & heavy rain. Happy days!

My weather app shows a high of 8 degrees which at 1pm should keep sleet off the menu, although still won’t feel nice.

Will be really interesting who he goes with in the centre as in his interview he said Atkins was available and fit for the Widnes game, just left him out of the 17

Think he will play Atkins in this one.

I asked this myself and the club replied with "because it's Easter.". Though I'm 100% sure we played you on Easter Monday in 2015 and it was our normal Sunday kick off time. Think we won at a canter and ash Gibson had a great game for us and then barely played again after. 1.30 kick off, God know why.

Small-time club milking their extra day recovery to the maximum I'd say. Shouldn't be allowed.

That full 2 hours. Must be hurting inside pal. Hope you can sleep tonight.

Atkins in for Goodwin (ill) Crosby on the bench M Smith left out. Long day for Clarkey again.

The result will help us sleep tonight



The wheels are off in Cas. Beat comfortably by Wire on your own midden.

Still fancy Cas for the cup in the August sunshine... that game is made for them this year.
