He will be up against Gleeson.

Well if people around these parts are to be believed that won't happen because Noble is going.

So I can only assume the new coach won't play Phil Bailey, or consider Joel/Hansen first choice.

Mossop is good, but so is Flanagan. Joel for me, is error prone, we can't risk it in this game.

Flannigan for me too.

Mossop in Flannagan out, feel for the lad as he gives his all but we need all the go forward we can get at their place tomorrow.

The game will come down to the bench for me and Fielden, Feka, Mossop and either hooker looks very big and strong.

Is it just me or does anyone else see Flannagan as tough but a little lightweight?

I agree tbh. I thought Flash started out as a Stand Off but he shows little skill during the game, more just playing like a second rower running the ball in and as he is built more like a SO he makes little yardage. He is a great defender but surely Mossop is the better option off the bench. He is big, tough and aggressive and will make good yards aswell as letting no-one down in defence.

Flanagan & Mossop for me too, joel is a bit mistake prone at present and too easily invoved when sam gets a crack off someone. Mossy had a good game last week in the final

And I wouldn't let Karl Pryce anywhere near Knowsley Road for a match of this importance, he also played against saints in the reserves grand final and ambled around as per usual whilst the rest of the lads were up for it and on fire - not sure what gets this lad motivated, but if he can't get up for a grand final, reserves or not there's not much hope.
