Batch in for Horo.

Great to see Batch back from Injury, hope he gets a game.

Is Huby injured?

Yes had knee op same time as Grix( shoulder) and Arundel (ankle)

MCB to miss out.

I want Batch to definitely play.
Can't decide whether Annakin should play. It's either him, Kirmond or Arona and I just can't bring myself to drop one of the other two.

There is plenty of fire power in the team to do a job on Widnes .
Could do with Chester to give the half time speech he did against the wires to the lads before kick off and I think the two points are in the bag .
As long as we don’t underestimate them of course and get into an arm wrestle ,we should win comfortably.
I think we are all guilty at times of been afraid to big up this team ,but I say that when we are playing with our heads on we are more than a match for any team in the league.
What we need now to give us all a boost is for the team to hit their straps over the next few months and show not only us but the rest of super league that we mean business .
I truly believe that this team can go toe to toe with anyone ,never mind salary caps and marquee signings .

If Arona is not with us next year, he'd be one of the two to miss out.

Mcb and hirst to miss out for me

Have you ever heard the saying cut your nose off to spite your face!

I’m now convinced that you don’t actually watch Trinity. I’ve been fairly critical of Hirst but he’s been great the last two games and was imo our best forward last week - I see no fair reason to drop him.

Would be great to see Batch back in the 17, to replace Kirmo or Horo and I suspect that MCB is there as cover.
IIRC, we're only 3 weeks into the "barring injury 1-7 not changing" that Chester said just a few weeks ago.

I have and I've also heard of the saying that one man doesn't make a team.

Agreed, for all my ranting about his basic errors he has gone well over the last few weeks and would be in my team for this weekend.

If Chester persists with PP at second row then he needs to be in the squad anyway really with Himself, Fifita and England the only out and out props in the 19!

Your right! 17 make up the team!
YOUR BEST 17 who ever they are at the time.

After last weeks start, can we stay out on the pitch and be ready from the opening whistle????

I'd like to see MCB given a game, maybe in place of BJB for this one.

I wouldn't unless BJB isn`t fit, I can`t imagine MCB been here at the club for more than a few more weeks so we don`t have the problem of trying to keep him happy, he is a very adequate cover for us and some would say a luxury but unlike some I think BJB and TJ are just that class above MCB. That said he would walk in a wing spot in a few SL clubs.

Lets have Baldwinson in place of Fifita whilst we're at it.

Why on earth would we drop BJB? Moronic comment.

Top try scorer.
And on the more difficult side to score too.

Sure let's drop him.

Coming from someone who wanted to sell Jowitt to Fev, I suppose you're an expert on moronic comments.

Maybe I am but it doesn’t take anything away from your comment...

Anyhow surely it wouldn't harm us giving MCB a game against Widnes? Maybe BJB was the wrong suggestion for him to replace. Feel sorry for the lad, a bit like Jowitt when Grix was fit he's not getting a look in whether fairly or harshly.

I get people feel sorry for MCB as do I but he is the 3rd best winger at the club if only marginally and he’s still very good.

He will most likely be leaving also which makes it even more difficult to put him in.

If he were to be put in deffo for bjb for me. Defensively the right side get exposed a lot more than the left certainly this season from what I’ve seen. The reason I wouldn’t swap bjb is although I think defensively he has lapses he scores the try’s to make up for it.

Stick with Tom and Bjb for me.

It’s not marginal, he’s decent enough bit imo he’s a very distant third even though his try scoring record suggests otherwise before pop tart offers a statistic.

We'll see how distant MCB is next season at some point!
