walshaw in the centre is not a good idea at all. hes a big strong unit but is reluctant to pass a ball, and will be made to look very silly if up against atkins/bridge. hes a seconmd row forward all day long.

Tony Smith said Monas should be back, and Bridge is back from his ban

Feel confident about this game. Not that were going to win but that we wont get paggered like everyone thinks. Everyone keeps going on about are four straight losses, but look at saints they are really doing poor. They look hopeless without roby, as we do without amor punching holes up front.

i think we'll lose by around 30 points, with the score mounting in the latter stages.

Anywhere between 30 and 50.
They could do that to anyone, so TBH its one i'm not going to get too bothered about, but less is better.
A tight game and i'll be chuffed

I suspect we may line up

Riley
Evans
Atkins
Bridge
J monas
Briers
Myler
Moz
M monas
Wood
Westwood
Waterhouse
Grix

Hill
Cooper
blythe
Dwyer ( I hope )

Obviously if hodgsons fit put him in fb move riley to wing and drop evans

Mathers

Fox
Tony
Mellars
Cockayne

John
Smith

Wilkes
Ellis
Raleigh

Southern
Kirmond
Lauitiiti/Aiton

Walshaw
Amor
Johnson
Wood

can raleigh play and be on bench?

just hoping we can compete and come away with a respectable result. I dont think anyone expects a win but they are a very good side and im sure after being beat by Leeds they will be really up for it

aiton definitely out? going to miss him in defense i feel

WIRE 20 v WILDCATS 24.





You heard it here first!!

Stranger things have happened.

I bet you, you can't name one?

At least the lack of a goalkicker isn't likely to affect the outcome of this weeks game

If Ellis p;lays don't think our defence will suffer at all. Have you seen his OPTA stats from last year. My only concern would be if he is match fit.

i agree ellis is good in defence; however it depends how agar plays his cards. the season so far shows he rates wood at 9, wood looks dangerous when the opposition is getting tired. hudds showed last week however that spotting wood in kick returns etc allows a quick ptb for themselves and also takes the gloss off his attack due to his work in defence. if aiton is out which i havent seen confirmed i would play ellis with wood coming on when the big boys get tired. i have a feeling tho wood will start.

That horse becoming pope?

We (Wire) have named our 19 with a likely 17 of:

Hodgson
J Monaghan
Bridge
Atkins
Riley
Briers
Myler
Morley
M Monaghan
Wood
Waterhouse
Westwood
Grix

Cooper
Hill
Blythe
Dwyer

Brad Dwyer may make his debut from the bench. For those of you with reasonably long memories he is the son of Bernard Dwyer.

Missing:

Ratchford
Rhys Evans
Solomona
Harrison
Carvell
Higham

About as true as Benny and Lee Westwood being brothers.

Aye Brad comes from a good town.
