MORRO BACK SMURPH OUT... WHOS GOING? www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/sport ... _1_3670726

I'm going.

Was going to give it a miss after last time but with all the positivity surrounding the club over the last week I feel they deserve my support.

Also want to see how Tongia goes.

Enjoy the game.........

Two players return to the squad this week after injury and one player will be making his Super League debut with the Wildcats.

Club Captain Glenn Morrison will be back in action after a hand injury that has left the forward sidelined for a number of weeks. French hooker Julien Rinaldi is also returning to the squad after missing out on the Crusaders fixture due to injury. New signing Ryan Tongia will be making his first team debut in the red, white and blue after an impressive performance for the Reserves against Hull KR last week.

Centre Aaron Murphy is to miss the game due to a wrist injury and Matthew Blaymire and Luke George are also sidelined due to knee and ankle injuries respectively. Matthew underwent a knee operation on Thursday and Luke is awaiting the results of an ankle scan. Josh Griffin is also out of action with a knee injury.

38 Masselot or 11 Henderson


Smith and one of Hendo or Masselot to miss out. Probably Masselot but he is contracted for next year and I'm not sure whether Hendo is so I would give Masselot his shot.
Lee gets the nod at Scrum half ahead of Smith for the same reason.

Fullback and threequarters kind of pick themselves as there aren't really any options.
Tony to rotate at hooker for me.

I'm flying to Portugal on Sunday, so it's a no from me; on balance, I probably don't mind that.

Tony in for me. Certainly not Tads Khlav

looking purely at the squad numbers, it is surprising that none of our original backline are available!

it just shows how much we have chopped and changed this season.

damage limitation on sunday, give it a go against cas and then roll on next season.....

Where's James Davey??

Moore not fit yet?

And gaz Moore???

Kear's banging him in reserve game ? Feel's its unfair throwing him straight back in against Warrington after 5 weeks out'' Defo in for Cas game next week,

Seems fair enough I suppose.

Makes sense.

As I predicted and I agree with the decision - the lad doesn't need to get smashed after 5 weeks out.

We're probably targetting the Cas game and he could do some damage there.

I wanna see Moore get stuck into cas and show us what he can do

Tongia
Tony
Dean
Henderson
Tadulala
Wildie
Lee
Johnson
Rinaldi
Amor
Mariano
Morrison
Howarth

Korkidas
Masselot
Gledhill
Smith

Vievers and Morton to miss out for me. Neither of them are particularly stable, especially under the high ball so I've gone for Tony on the wing with Hendo in the centre. Damage limitation is the main aim!

1 Tongia
2 Morton
3 Dean
4 Tony
5 Tadulala
6 Smith
7 Wildie
8 Amor
9 Rinaldi
10 Korkidas
11 Morrison
12 Mariano
13 Howarth
14 Lee
15 Henderson
16 Johnson
17 Gledhill

I know i'm going to get slated for this but with the shortage of backs at present is worth recalling Kevin Penny

You didn't watch Halifax v Widnes last night then?

I did Thought he had a good game

And at one point i think he touched the ball

kin hell Dave

what was you drinking he broke away with a chance to win the game only had to pass to tyler and game won, what did he do but chipped the ball to the full back to his hands.

and also tried to catch a ball that was going out on the full to knock on

having watched him closely he only looks to score for him self and is not a team member. just my opinion

I am thinking/hoping he was joking
