Turner and Percival as well. Great opportunity for a big scalp.

Lets not count the chickens yet even if its good chance we can do it.

I hope not. Wouldn't be fair on the other forwards.

He could replace Sykes as we don't really need to have a bench spot taken up by a utility back.

I expect Sjeka will take Wildie place on the bench for no other reason than the club have gone to great lengths to get him here so will want to get him in the team as soon as possible.

Leave things as they are its coming along well so far why upset the balance and Seijka will have to wait his turn for me.

I agree.
Harry has to wait.
Tautai at prop for me.

Extra forward on the bench instead of Sykes but other than that as you were for me.

Harry to wait for me also but it sounds like he could make his debut in the YEP. Same set up as last week just another front-rower instead of Sykes for me...

I don't think that we can afford Harry and Wilde on the bench against teams like Saints.
We need as much umph in the pack as we can muster and keeping our acting half fresh, is equally as important.

Although it has taken ages to get our new "Polish" player over here, it seems crazy to disturb our 6 & 7 for the sake of it.

To mess with Godinet and dammit would be nothing sort of daft the way they have started playing together lately.

Would thing Harry will play 9 but Wildie has done nothing to lose his place I don't think.

Harry should be kept out until he knows our plays, unless we have injuries. Wildie is a must on the bench McShane can't play 80 minutes and we get more out of him when he has energy. Our 2 Props and another at LF should keep St Helens huge pack busy, hopefully a few penalties going our way will get us on the front foot. Walsh will be missed for Saints as he is a phenomenal player but they still have threats in their inside and outside backs -even with a couple of injuries.

I'd leave it as is with Tautai at 13 and Anderson and Scruton starting at prop for umph in the pack. Raleigh, Smith, Ryan and Wildie on bench.

i agree with everything you say. I know walsh and LMS are deffo out and if they are telling the truth about the other absentee's you've got a real chance. Apart from the penalties a lot will depend on which pack gets on the front foot. Close game.

Turner definitely is out, soliola is 50/50 as is walmsley, and Percival. A few of our fringe guys should be looking to use this game to claim a stake to keep their place (I expect Flanaghan won't be too happy he's yet to be named in the 19 this year!)

Walsh is a loss, but imo we've made a very conscious effort to make sure not everything goes through him, and Wilkin should step back into the role he had last year. His kicking game is strong enough to fill the gap. It may make our kicking game a little 1 dimensional though, and as I said on another thread to beat saints you need to beat us at the kicking game - goal kicking will be a big miss as well.

Flanagan has been named in the 19, just not 17



No Wheeler, Percival, Walmsley, LMS, Walsh or Turner on Sunday. Soliola is 50/50.

Haha I agree mate. Without wanting to derail a Wakey thread, Flanagan being left out for Wellens has been difficult to understand. I hope he proves his worth on Sunday.

I will be lumping on wakefield / on the cap this weekend. Great chance of a win. Would be nice if you did beat saints and we do Salford, would set us clear at the top

This game is similar to the Wigan one and probably a better chance of a win as they have more significant players missing but it isn't a 'gimme'.
We are still building and they have a quality squad. Need to be at our best.

I admit I'm going to have a couple of quid on Wakey depending on what start the bookies give them.

I actually think Saints might just sneak it but it will be close. Looking forward to the trip anyway. Can you still get meat pies with mushy peas and mint sauce at Wakey nowadays?

It's a match no Trinity fan can be going expecting to win but you never know. Even with the injuries saints are a good well drilled side and their replacements will be giving their all to prove a point. We need to be at our best to beat them and I'm looking forward to the contest . Come on TRINITY

How injury prone is Gary Wheeler??? A real shame as a few years back i had him just in front of Lomax on potential, but he never seems to play 2 games on the trot??

He isn't injured. The only game he has missed through injury this season is Salford away when he had a dead leg and was left out as a precaution.
