www.wakefieldwildcats.co.uk/news ... rd-fixture Looking very strong this week with England and Lyne back in contention. Who to leave out!

Quite a strong squad.

The only obvious change for me would be for England to come back in, for Anderson.

I wouldn't necessarily change a winning team though, unless players are carrying injuries.

Surprised Reece Lyne back so soon, and probably wouldn't risk him this week.

I have been critical of BJB, but think his last two games have been his best for us, so would keep him in.

Can't see us dropping Anderson...think he's had two excellent games since coming back...

Chester said last week Lyne was all but ready and would come into contention this week...

Me personally...id bring England in for Hall, who would sit this one out with Lyne...

What a position to be in though...barring one or two...Moore, Molloy...a very fit and healthy squad to choose from!

For me England should come in for Anakin (I await the response from belly)

Not sure about Lyne as he was in great for before his injury but I can't see who you would leave out for him unless anyone is carrying a knock.

Strong looking squad. From the 19 are we looking at Sio doing the full 80 at hooker? We should be aiming to get 8 points from our next 4 games then we can think of rotating and resting. Now is the time to have all hands to the pump.

Having a strong forward bench has been working for us.
But I always worry when we have 4 forwards on the bench. We struggle when we get an injury.

I'd be tempted to have Hall or Tupou on the bench as we did against Catalan
Lyne would miss out except if there is an injury

In the forwards unfortunately if no one is carrying a knock then Annakin would miss out, though I'd happily see him play. He isn't a weak link.

Absolutely - and you would think that we'd be targeting 4 of those points from the next 2 games; Salford and HKR are on paper the easiest of what then becomes a very difficult run of games, with a CC game against a resurgent Shudds just to complicate matters.

Lui and Vidot weren't playing last time round so I'd expect a slightly more fluid attack against us.
Lui probably isn't back to his best yet but he was the key player in their early season wins.

Carney not playing can't hurt though.

Wouldn't be dropping Anderson had a really good game last week. Think this will be a tough game personAlly

Agreed unless there's a problem with an injury, it would foolish to leave him out after his last two performances.

Tough decisions for a tough game. Salford will be confident after beating Widnes and will be doing their best to get out of the bottom 4 to prove that the points deduction made no difference. They'll be wanting revenge for the defeat at our place. It's important to us because it's 2 very winnable points towards making sure of a top 8 spot. Must go with our best team - but not easy to pick it! It's a good position to be in.

Salford may get some or all of their deducted points back yet, so that to my mind makes this a doubly important game to win

Anyone got the feeling Bill Tupou will eventually move into the second row ala Vince Mellars?

This a really tricky fixture for us
Although it looks, on paper, like one of our easier fixtures, Salford have only one victory less than Trinity and without their points deduction, they would be in 8th spot.
Of course, having beaten Catalan and Warrington, we are more than capable of beating Salford but, this could be a classic.
Expect a close game 6 points either way ?

(the bookies are giving us 2 points on the handicap)

It's a tough game to predict. See a good slog in the middle plenty of grunt required in my view to pull it off.

I can see what you mean, and I'm sure he'd be good but I quite like him in the backs.
Some teams have real monsters in their back line and we could do with keeping some beef back there too.

1. Max Jowitt
2. Tom Johnstone
3. Joe Arundel
4. Bill Tupou
5. Ben Jones-Bishop
6. Jacob Miller
7. Liam Finn
8. Nick Scruton
9. Mikey Sio
10. Anthony England
11. Matty Ashurst
12. Danny Kirmond
13 Tinirau Arona

14. Anthony Tupou
15. Scott Anderson
16. Mickael Simon
17. Chris Annakin

Craig Hall (picked up injuries last two weeks)
Reece Lyne (just coming back from injury, no point risking him)
Plus we need to go big against Salford.

That looks a strong and the preferred line up for me.

Looks to me like Johnstone may miss this week, so possibly Reece Lyne to come in for him?

A.Toupou hasn't hit the heights expected in my opinion needs to lift to get us the 2 games we require

He's been pretty good, and considering he's been playing with a mouthful of stitches I'd say he's done us proud.

Cas losing gives us a big opportunity in this game. We could be 3 points clear of 7th and only points difference from 5th.

Really? Thought he was immense against Catalans.
