Interesting squad.

Thought Minns had called it a day? Reminders of Salford away with that squad.

Noo
Nooooo
Nooooooooooo

Right why are we moaning about the squad we have injuries anyway and we have 3 games in a week was no one expecting a week squad i was and im looking forward to seeing somone like windrow out there

Any news on Jamie Saul?

Have Saints released their squad?

Saints squad: apparently they could have 5 making their debut

2. Tommy Makinson, 14. Joey Lussick, 15. LMS, 17. Agnatius Paasi, 19. Jake Wingfield, 20. James Bell, 21. Josh Simm, 22. Ben Davies, 24. Dan Norman, 26. Sam Royle, 27. Jon Bennison, 28. Lewis Baxter, 31. Taylor Pemberton, 33. Daniel Moss, 34. George Delaney, 35. McKenzie Buckley, 36. Rio-Osayomwanbo Corkill, 37. Ellis Archer, 38. Keane Gilford, 39. Ben Lane, 40. Jake Burns

Yes think theres about 6 or 7 i have heard of around 5 that will make debuts

Think our 1 to 5 will be the same other than Evans straight swap for Kershaw. The pack , who knows plenty of changes there, but whatever we put out i cant see Minns playing.

Looking at Saints squad, that Rio...... must be a commentators nightmare

Remember some time back an away game early season friendly at Knowsley Road. Saints played a simillar type squad, they even had that Emmerdale bloke playing and they mullered us.

If Minns plays then WP immediately has people doubting him again. Hopefully he’s just making up the numbers.

Evans I’m keen to see again.

Minns is leaving where short on numbers and saints are weak, im more than happy for the lad to have one last run out

You doubting him.....not 'people'

He isn't my first, or even 5th choice but he's a contracted player who plays in a position in which we may struggle.
I seem to remember you calling Willie out for playing Croft too but he's doing OK now.
Let's just give Willie the chance to rotate his team in a week with 3 games and see what happens.

Jowitt
Murphy
Gaskell
Hall
Evans
Lino
Miller
Arona
Bowes
Shaw
Ashurst
Windrow
Crowther

Walker (Interchange Crowther at LF)
Battye
Butler
Croft (Interchange with
Windrow and move Hall to SR in second half).

Looks a strong team that and gives us a chance to look at Windrow, Shaw and Bowes.

Personally Croft has improved since his first game back in trinity. He has sorted his defensive weaknesses out and has been very good last few games. For me I’d be happy to sign him to rotate in at centre and push for a place. I’d be happy with Hall, Lyne, Gaskell and Croft as next years centres with maybe promoting a promising young centre to a full time contract (don’t we have a good once coming through or two?).

No room for Kay?
Can cover a variety of positions.

Why no Liam Kaye, he only did 20 mins on Thursday, yet immediately made an impact. He will be fit a fresh, best hooker at club , plus great utility value

If we loose it will be due to complacency. I think WP needs to convince the squad we are playing a full strength Saints team then we should win

Whilst a win would be “nice” it is not vital and so WP might want to look at who will be here next year.
Then those areas can be addressed over the close season.
Mr Woolf will be doing the same.

It would be nice to show off the Academy by naming the following team
With Kershaw rested
Batchelor injured
Tom Johnstone injured

It would be some statement to be able to field that team

Jowitt (Academy Product)
Murphy (Academy Product)
Croft (Academy Product)
Hall (Academy Product)
Evans (Johnstone)
Lino
Gaskill
Aydin (Academy Product)
Bowes (Academy Product)
Shaw (Academy Product)
Ashurst (Batchelor)
Windrow (Academy Product)
Crowther (Academy Product)

Kay (Academy Product)
Walker
Battye
Butler

I could be wrong but doesn’t the prize money increase the higher up the table you finish.

It does, strongest team for the win for me

Yes same here. Lets not forget dugout gate. They will have the league leaders hub cap ready for the presentation if they win. Lets beat them and then give them a dug out chair as a momento

I hope Croft gets another game as I think he's steadily improved with each appearance this year after his long layoff. He's built up a hell of a physique and is way ahead of the young lad he was when he went out on loans.

Brilliant from Prince Buster........,.........,"give then a dug out chair as a momento"

The reason I left him out is he’s just returned from injury and there’s no need to risk him on a short turnaround when he may be a bit sore etc. Plus it’s an idea opportunity to see Bowes get a extended run.

Kay would be straight in vs Hudds.

That’s not true, why not read the original thread. Plenty doubting after the Toulouse debacle. Opinions are one thing PT but re-writing history is not on. I fully accept what I wrote and stand by it but so did others. Suggest you show fairness to all shades of opinion.

Personally hope your belief in the bloke pays off, I’m not into cutting my nose off to spite my face. Right or wrong what I said at the time was valid and you know it.

Vastly improved player, I’d chose him above Gaskell and Lyne on current form.
