Actually yeah, Burgess and Ellis in the second row is a no brainer.

Morley and Griff to start
Crabtree and Graham off the bench

Fielden to carry water.

I think it's pretty obvious that there are only 3 props there and therefore room for a fourth.

I also think that Fielden WILL NOT play this Saturday. He doesn't link up with the team until tomorrow after leaving yesterday.

Indeed Wadski...I have now stated my 4 favoured props, with suitable pro Huddersfield bias, since, you know, it is the Giants Forum we are on...

FWIW I would put O'Loughlin at 13 if that cheers up the crust munchers.

EDIT

My choices in the forwards would be:

Morley 8
Roby 9
Griffin 10
Burgess 11
Ellis 12
O'Loughlin 13

Crabtree 14
Graham 15
Robinson 16
Utility Back (Cudjoe?) 17

Griff in ahead of James Graham. Sorry, that's laughable.

Sigh.

You do know RL is a 17 man game dont you...and that not even the ubermenshe that is Graham can do 80 mins at prop...

He can but he would lose effectiveness as they would spot it and target him on defence.

Really? I thought he would still be his awesome best no matter how many minutes he played?

in fact, I was thinking we didnt need 3 other props and could just let him do all the work...

You know, rather than having a balanced set of forwards that can rotate with each other.

His awesomeness is inversely related to the amount of guff he spouts at the ref.

Cudjoe on the wing? NO THANKS

You're probably right. Stick him in the Centre and he can score another try like he did to win the game at your spot.

Don't derail the thread. Joel Tomkins is not God. That's Sam. Joel is like John the Baptist but he gives away more penalties than Lucifer.

Goulding,hall and briscoe are all better than cudjoe

And on about forwards griffin should not get a shirt crabtree yes some of you guys need to see through your hudd specs brown and robinson are very average the only reason they are getting a shot is cause of injury

Yeah he gives away stupid penaltys but he is a very good second row one of the best in sl he's a workhorse and thats what we need

The thing about our players that you have obviously missed is that they are adaptable into different positions. Brown can play at Stand off and centre. Robbo at hooker and scrum half and Cudjoe Full back, centre and wing, Lunt at Loose Forward and Hooker. That is alot to do with their selection. With 24 players only the more cover you have in those positions the better.

That's why we were still winning when we had 7 or 8 first teamers out.

On one hand Wiganers are claiming it a success for Wiganers academy that these two ex-wiganers have been picked and other bag them and call them average. These players have become an awful lot better under the guidance of Nathan , Paul and Bumper.

Missed nothing they are average i'll give you kev brown has got better but lets face it he couldn't get any worse

Lunt is a decent player dont think i've seen him play loose but he's got a very good rugby brain on him he will go far in the game

Cudjoe is fast thats it i've seen a few times he's cracked under pressure he's not in the top 5 wingers in sl and his selection along with brown,robinson and griffin just shows we have no depth at all (i know the abuse will come for this) but these 4 should be nowhere near a tour down under

Goulding was cast aside to Salford earlier this season. He's a good enough finisher but not in the same league as Cudjoe. Wiganers didn't even rate him until the last few games.

Brown and Robinson you are wrong on. They were cast aside in favour of a load of overpaid aussies. The club nearly got relegated as a result and is only just getting back on it's feet. In the right Wigan team they could have been legends. They are two of the best players in superleague. Wigan even tried to re sign Brown a few months ago realising their monumental error.

Briscoe and Hall are good players but so are all the Hudds lads. As a Season ticket holder at CP and the DW for many years now living over the pennines I would say too many Pooles meat and potato pies have clouded your powers of reasoning.

Cudjoe got his plane ticket on the basis that when it mattered against Wigan and Warrington he was there, he had the skill to be in the right place to take the ball and the try. Add to this that his defence is excellent. He kept Pat Richards quiet in our game.

The fact you are still here discussing these players is testimony to you after inside_man who came on here 'not to bag' then wound people up and then posted the link onto the Wigan forum after three days of niggling.

I would expect he's more likely to be abused than yourself. You're just his pawn!

I didn't mean to wind you up, genuinely. Like I said before I think Cudjoe, Lunt, Griffin and Brown deserve to be in the squad. But out of them I think only Brown deserves to play some sort of role.

The link was more about the one post which said they thought Tickle and a Wigan reserve player was better than Tomkins rather than the whole thread.

That's more than half of why I find it so funny; you actually being serious.

And if I can be serious for a moment I should advise all Huddersfield forum members to know what you're letting yourselves in for playing with these tiddlers. Some of them will spend all their time and energy stalking you all over the internet. Trust me, I know. But does she know I know? I'm not so sure but when she reads this she may well know I know she knows I know. But then, when she does, I will have already known she knows I knew she knows etc etc.

Yeah we nearly went down cause them two went

Because they were replaced with inferior players like Dennis Moran and Danny Orr. Yes absolutely.

So it had nothing to do with us losing the likes of farrell,radlinski,lam etc... no just cause we letgo brown and robinson

A sad little wimp finds it so hard to accept that someone has a different view that he creates a thread on a different forum. Danril can you imagine the type of dweeb who would resort to this? And then when his ineptitude is pointed out he returns to try and justify himself
