my 17....

Richard MATHERS
Peter FOX
Lee Smith
Danny Kirmond
Ben COCKAYNE
Paul Sykes
Tim Smith
Kyle Amor
Paul Aiton
Andy RALEIGH
Ali LAUITIITI
Lucas Walshaw
Danny WASHBROOK
Kyle Wood
Oli Wilkes
Kyle Trout
Paul Johnson (ordinarily I think James would be ahead of PJ, but i have been informed PJ played very well last week, so would be unfair to drop him.)

Matt James
Isaac John

Kiss of death I know but I don't think we should be scared of that squad. As you say probably still too strong for us but there's no way they should batter us IMO.

I'd go for (not that I think Agar will)

Lee Smith
Peter Fox
Paul Sykes
Lucas Walshaw
Ben Cockayne
Isaac John
Tim Smith
Kyle Amor
Paul Aiton
Andy Raleigh
Ali Lauititi
Danny Kirmond
Danny Washbrook

Kyle Trout
Olly Wilkes
Paul Johnson
Kyle Wood


Matt James and Richie Mathers to miss out

Or perhaps keep James and drop Wood. If the weather persists the forwards are going to have a hell of a battle. Aiton can do the full 80.

Developing a good young home grown squad, especially in the forwards. Backs are at a premium everywhere... I think 13 there are home grown, and young.

Should be a good game, always an exciting match at your place....

I'd go for:
1.) Richard MATHERS
2.) Peter FOX
3.) Paul SYKES
4.) Lee SMITH
5.) Ben COCKAYNE

6.) Isaac JOHN
7.) Tim SMITH

8.) Oliver WILKES
9.) Paul AITON
10.) Andy RALEIGH
11.) Danny KIRMOND
12.) Ali LAUITIITI
13.) Danny WASHBROOK

14.) Kyle WOOD
15.) Kyle AMOR
16.) Paul JOHNSON / Matt JAMES
17.) Lucas WALSHAW

Kyle TROUT & Matt JAMES / Paul JOHNSON To miss

Would not play Wood, Trout or James for me. Wigan have a semi final next week, our lads need to let them know that they are in for a full on encounter, let them know we are about.

looking at some of the comments on here it is clear some people didnt see last weeks game..





john and walshaw to miss out for me

To be honest, I'm starting to like Trout over Walshaw.
Fit young lad in a slog fest could show some good stamina by the end.
