After 3 great and unexpected wins that have been mentally and physically demanding of our players, we have our biggest challange yet on Sunday as we face the best defensive team in the league. They have a few players out and seem to be struggling to put points on the board. What 17 would you like to see on the field? Do you think its winnable?

Harsh on Craig Hall who I thought was excellent against Leeds but I'd keep the same 17 that was on show today.

Jowitt
Johnstone
Arundel
Lynne
Bishop
Miller
Finn
Scruton
Moore
England
Kirmond
Ashurst
Sio

Molloy
A Tupou
Arona
Simon

On current form any game at home is winnable.

Put the bottle down now, I think that you are becoming delirious

The games this season are getting harder and harder to predict now but it's great viewing, more so from our perspective of course but also for the game in general. Who'd have thought Hudds and Leeds would be in the bottom 4 places, and even Cas below us in the table now. It would be great to keep our run going against Wigan, we are buzzing right now, confidence is in abundence, it should be a fascinating game. If we can keep up this level of consistency then anything is possible, but Wigan looked good the other week at Saints so I'll be happy with another 100% effort and see where it takes us.

Hopefully that dirty sod Farrell will be getting his come uppance on Tuesday, and that will be another one less.

Fingers crossed for 6,500-7,000, should do the cash flow a world of good if we can get a crowd like that. And then a win against Wigan in front of a crowd like that would really get the ball rolling...

Never have been a Farrell fan. Remember his little dust up with Justin Poore. He should be copping a ban this week.

I wouldn't have described it as a dust up, that suggests there were two combatants involved, more like a silverback ripping an annoying chimp limb from limb.

It was a good jab though

Anthony Toupou back for this game with the way the team are playing wud be great as he was already showing good signs when the team was struggling

Wigan will be a stern test; their attacking structure has gone to pot, but they will smash the bejesus out of us in defence.

Don't be to sure about Farrell having a ban we have seen how that one works only to well it will certainly be interesting and the 3 wins one the bounce will see us go into the game with a massive confidance. I just hope we get a decent ref (cough) who will be fair.

This is a really tricky one and it's what makes and breaks coaches.

BJB has done some good and some bad things and certainly look nowhere near as good as Johnstone. Normally not enough bad stuff from BJB to drop him - but - look at his competition!

Hall looks more composed this year than BJB

Tupou is a very good winger IMHO

Richard Owen was the best back at the club until his injury.

Then there is Anthony Tupou, how long do you leave one of the finest S/R's in SL and an NRL star oot of the team. Adrenilin will take you so far but there is no substitute for class and this lad looked good when we were bad! So who do you drop. no one. What you do is rotate and you make sure that the players know the reasons. For me I'd rotate Kirmond, because after naerly two years hardly playing 3 games in seven days is a lot, nothing to do with his performances which have been excellent. The others are Molloy or Sio but frankly both would be harsh and less justified.

I'm all for the settled team idea but some freshening up is often required and we can't be to emotional about it.

These are serious options and it's a big call for Chester, glad it's not me.

Jowitt looked like he was struggling with his back and Ashurst took a bad knock to the ribs so I'd rotate them with Hall and Tupou respectively if they haven't recovered. Hopefully Anderson is back as thought needed another front row on bench in stead of Walton. If BJB had intercepted that pass deep in our own half he'd have gone the full length of the field and scored.. He also stopped that Sau try in the corner so think he should stay on the wing.

It wouldn't surprise me if Scott Moore was summoned for what looked like a possible biting incident. You know what the RFL are like if they can find a way to screw us over they will.

Where you got that from?

Not saying your wrong but biting normally gets headline news, I can't find anything?

You would only see it if you recorded the match and watched the replay, Disney cat has a valid point although it will be difficult to prove intent, but the way that BMM was annoyed with Moore and pushed him to the ground he certainly thought so.

Stuart Cummings created that fantasy as justification for Murdoch-Masila retaliating; it looked to me that Moore tried to milk a penalty by locking his leg in during a tackle, and Masila was trying to disengage to avoid being penalised.

Serious allegation from a commentator.

The Wigin game is winnable for definite.
Big John McCarthy may need to ref it though.
God knows who will be fit for the CC the week after.

I didnt see antything either at the game and watching it back at home.

It looked suspicious on the Sky coverage. I think overall it was inconclusive though so too difficult to prove. If it is true then I lose a bit of respect for Moore as I think biting is a horrible thing to do.

As for BJB, I thought his defence was excellent on Saturday and certainly helped us win the game. I've been disappointed with his attack this year and thought he could offer more. I think Hall offers more in attack but is more suspect in defence. Against a title contender side like Wigan then I think defence is paramount so I'd probably stick with BJB for now. Play Hall in the CC.

I agree - that's two games now that BJB has won us with stout defence; let's not forget that it was his monstering of a Leeds player that set up Craig Hall's full length effort.

I'd still like to see him more involved in attacking moves, but who knew that he was a big hitter in defence?!
