The 19-man squad in full is:

Joe ARUNDEL
Ryan ATKINS
Danny BROUGH
Jordy CROWTHER
Morgan ESCARE
Chris GREEN
Titus GWAZE
Ryan HAMPSHIRE
Ben JONES-BISHOP
Lee KERSHAW
George KING
Danny KIRMOND
Craig KOPCZAK
Reece LYNE
Jacob MILLER
Tyler RANDELL
Adam TANGATA
Kelepi TANGINOA
Kyle WOOD

Most of the side picks itself, especially as Atkins is set to play.
The interesting thing is bringing Kershaw back in.
Cast doubt on FB, wing and maybe 7 but I doubt that part.

My team would be:

Escare
Hampshire
Atkins
Lyne
BJB
Miller
Brough
Kopczak
Randall
Tangata
Tanginoa
Kirmond
Crowther

Wood
Green
King
Arundel

Crwother get's the nod for his defence and because King would be prop.Arundal get's the nod to be able to cover both Atkins and Kirmond if there is a problem.
I could be tempted to put Kershaw on the wing as he makes so many yards off kick returns but this is a big game to put a kid in when he hasn't played for quite a few weeks.

Don't mind that choice PT.
.....Still twitchy re Atkins though........

Have to agree with that PT.
Games like this you have to go with experience over youth.
Kershaw is an excellent prospect and had this been 3 weeks ago, I may have preferred him in the side but, these kind of games are not for young lads - way too much pressure.
Kershaws time will definitely come but, Friday night isn't the night.

Arundel and Gwaze to miss out for me. Hampshire on the bench, we can't not play Escare IMO and Kershaw has done enough previously to get on the Wing. I can see us needing some inspiration going forward and bringing him on against a tired side would be a great option with potentially Escare, Brough, Miller and Wood all on the field at the same time, with that said perhaps it would be better to start Randell over Wood.

FB - Escare
W – Bishop
C – Lyne
C – Atkins
W - Kershaw

SO - Miller
SH - Brough

P – King
H – Wood
P – Green

SR – Kirmond
SR – Tanginoa
L - Crowther

Bench

Kopczak
Tangata
Randell
Hampshire

London squad as follows:

6 – Jordan Abdull
32- Guy Armitage
8 – Eddie Battye
23 – Rob Butler
7 – James Cunningham
5 – Kieran Dixon
14 – Matty Fozard
16 – Matt Gee
21- Daniel Hindmarsh
4 – Elliot Kear
30 – Olsi Krasniqi
31 – Brock Lamb
11 – Will Lovell
18 – Nathan Mason
19 – Ryan Morgan
12 – Jay Pitts
1 – Alex Walker
2 – Rhys Williams
20 – Luke Yates

That's the team that played Rovers last week with Krasniqi and Lovell added.

Hope Lovell plays, he is a penalty machine.

Lamb had a really good game against KR and looks to have settled in just in time and Abdul will kick us to death if they get a roll on - Steam roll there pack from the off and we don`t give them a chance to make a difference at all.

Fullback is a tricky one, Escare brings so much to our attack, his pace alone across the line creates overlaps regularly but he makes me so nervous under the high ball!

Crowther to miss out for me he is work in progress .He is week on line defence as not strong enough yet and think we should go for the biggest pack we can put out.Atkins should start in second row for me Arundel went well at Wires.Keep Rocky on the wing to match the speed London have out wide .Just what I think not having a go at anybody

Quite a few permutations there, for the threequarters, personally I'd go with
BJB
Arundel
Atkins
Lyne

Plenty of experience, and enough pace.

I've not got a problem with Jordy's defence.

he is a lot better than your suggestion above and (b) he is a forward, so short of both putting kershaw on the wing and a centre on the bench as a second row interchange, the alternative would be Gwaze and he is not ready for SL at present.

He also played pretty well last week.

fWIW Crowther was the pick of all Trinity players according to RLE

Think you need to re-watch a [ifew[/i games. [iWeak[/i in defence?
Rather have him in defence than a few I could mention........
Hes just the right type of player for this game - Good enough and actually wants to play for Wakefield Trinity.

Crowther for me because London are very fit. I don't think it's about having the biggest pack but having the fittest. Crowther is young. He'll have the engine. Gwaze won't have the match fitness or experience. Kershaw won't need the fitness as much but his experience makes him miss out. It's the kind of game that could ruin a young player if he makes a crucial mistake.

I sometimes wonder to myself whether people are watching the same thing as me at times?

Off the back of playing away at Warrington, the challenge cup winners and grand final contenders....with a pack full of internationals..

One of our ‘own’...a young player with Trinity running through his blood...tops the tackle count with 39...has two misses...the same as GB international Chris Hill who made 6 tackles less...two misses less than Mike Cooper and Ben Currie, both quality players and someone states he’s weak in defence? Really?

He played his heart out last week as he does most weeks and off the back of how he played and what’s at stake and what it means to him he would be the first name on my team sheet this week without hesitation!

What the hell do you watch....

I watch Wakefield have done for 60 year j been to every matchethis season home and away except France away.I said it was my thoughts not having a go at any body .

You're entitled to your opinion - even if it is contrary to that of almost every other fan.

Personally, I think you're way off the mark, but as I said, you're entitled to believe what you want and I'll believe what I see with my own eyes.

Thank you

Let's not be too precious.
Crowther has indeed got things he needs to improve in his game. Just because he's a good kid shouldn't mean he's exempt from constructive criticism.
However, in this game 1) his defense is most definitely going to help 2) the alternative is to play Gwaze who with the greatest respect to him is a far bigger "work in progress"
