Would have preferred one more prop in that bench if had been possible i.e Dollapi, as I take it Greenwood is injured (please god don't tell me he got homesick and went home

)

As for the halves I think he will go with Gigot and Bishay. just for a little experience around Bishay

Is Duckworh still injured as well, or just not been picked. I only ask as he picked up injury at Leeds game that's all.

Also I know we have signed Jamie O'C again for someone with SL experience, but you have to feel for guys like Macani and Agboke who stuck with the team when things were down to see Jamie C come in and take a winger spot.

I know I will be shot down on this but its just my opinion that's all.

We might have a chance with that squad but only if nobody notices that we have 14 on the pitch to start.

Ha ha well spotted

Would be my guess

Anyone know what's up with Dollapi?

Surely he would have been on the bench...?

Widnes have a fair few out for this game. Which i think makes this game even more important are team should be fast so if we can get the ball out of are hands we mite put in a score. Also weather shouldn't affect this game as Widnes have a plastic pitch.

Clutching at straws if we are thinking of Gigot providing experience for Bish.

Get ready to be hugely disappointed in Gigot - if he even gets a game.

Yes. I know I am. But I would rather do that for a while them admit defeat before season has even began.
And I am not having a go at you with that comment, I understand your reasons for being disheartened with the club and the new setup. But I'm willing to give it a go for a while, no matter how foolish you may think I am being lol

Jeez... we've been disappointed for four years and built this team in just 6 weeks. Give the blokes on the pitch a chance before knocking them down before the first game why don't you

I hope the club have banned the players from reading this forum for their own sakes.

Glad to see atkins starting....really need farrar soon to join him in the back line..could be an interesting combo

Hear hear

Which part if the club?
The bit run by AK and bankrolled by the RFL or the bit run by gus and bankrolled by the RFL and David Hughes

I assume there'll be commentary from Radio Merseyside. Is any London outfit doing it?

Without the full squad here, we are up against it from the start. Tony has already suggested taking the season in groups of games. I can see why as it's probably 4 games before we have the squad together. It'll probably be 4 before they really gel and err that's too late. And for Sunday we remain light up front.

Looking more for how they gel than for the result. Still can always cause an upset.

And for Sunday:

Mataitonga
O'Callaghan
Atkins
Caton-Brown
Burnett
Moore
Gigot
Krasniqi
Cunningham
Forster
Cook
McMeeken
Foster

Griffin
Lovell
Woodburn-Hall
Bishay

Only cause feel may try to start with more experience in the halves to keep things calm.

If it's like here, you can change the team sheet 30-60 mins before kick off. Just saying that in case someone does a Scott Cram.

I think the halves will be the least of our issues with that forward pack.

Cook will surely have to play prop but he Krasniqi and Forster still leaves us a prop light. Big effort needed from Griffin etc.

My apologies - all players named are awesome.

Well said. A bit of positive thought goes far.

Are there any direct flights from Sydney to Liverpool
