Both teams out of firm, don't fancy us at all with our away form.

Is Griffin banned, anyone else out?

Apart from Carlos, can't remember who is potentially out?

I'd go with

Mcintosh
Swift
Scott
Mitch
Wynne
Lovodua
Gale (rather have Hookem, but think BH will want some experience in the halfs)
Evans
Houghton
Satae
Sao
Ma'u
Brown

Taylor
Lane/Griffin
Fash
Balmforth

Can see Balmforth coming in for this one

Got to hasn't he, got to give him a go, will allow Lovodua to move into the halfs too.

Would be up for it against his old club too.

No Reynolds?

I think you've missed a meeting.

Didn't swift pick up a groin injury against catalan? If he is out I'd have litten at fullback and shaul on the wing

Don't like Shaul on the wing, thought he was poor when he played there earlier in the season, its not his position and you can't tell.

Swift sounds like he will be fit.

JJ out, so surley Balmforth has to play.

For me Shaul would still get the nod for FB. Neither Wynne nor McIntosh looked comfortable at Wakefield after Connor left he field. If we were to move anyone from the their position to cover FB then I'd go for Swift as didn't look out of place doing so last time he covered FB.
With Carlos out then Scott comes in at centre or Mitch if fit as think BH will have Griffin will be on the bench or in 2nd row.
Joey to come in at 6 and Gale who must surely now be playing for his future more than ever so I'd hope to see a positive reaction from him.
Balmforth has to be added to the bench as his performances so far are deserving of a shot and he looks the part both in terms of talent and physique. With no Connor and a very stuttering HB we need to maximise what creativity we have and Balmforth gives us a dimension we've not had for years at 9 so after 20 mins rest Houghton and bring Balmforth on. I know it'll be against his old club but I don't think that will have any detrimental affect on game.

According to Hodgson in the HDM he states that Johnstone won't feature this weekend due to a knock he picked up but Swift is good to go and both Scott and LAne are back in contention.

Hopefully Mitch is fit to play. Really do rate him and think we look a better and more solid team when he plays.

Don't worry guys you'll be fine on Friday I think we should drop Wolves and change our name to Warrington Panacea as we've certainly got into the habit of getting everyone's season on track.

Without wishing to tempt fate, I'm quite looking forward to getting a glimpse of Balmforth if selected

If Mitch is fit he should play right centre as he formed a good defensive partnership when Lovodua was at 6.
Their kick chase was also first class and Mitch kept Leutele quiet which not many have.
Shaul has to play full back.Just dont see the point moving players out of position when we have Shaul
According to HDM Griffin is banned but havnt seen anything to confirm, however if he isnt banned and Lane is fit there would be no place for Griffin unless the coach doesnt see fit to play Balmforth

Griffin got a one match ban for a dangerous contact in the Catalans game.

thanks for the info
normally ccs would have been on to confirm this as questions have been asked but not seen him post for weeks.
Anyone know if he is OK?

Is Vulikijapani fit? Not seen much mention of him recently.

Shaul, Swift, Vulikijapani/Scott, Wynne, McIntosh, Lovodua, Gale, Evans, Houghton, Sao, Ma'u, Lane, Fash

Satae, Brown, Balmforth, Taylor

Probably a different story NEXT season

but you’ll blow us away up the middle this Friday. We’re truly gash.

We tend to be the team that helps end losing streaks. By the sounds of it none of us are in for a treat on Friday.

May the least worst team win!

Don't like the wire fans saying we should be winning



A lot of pressure on an already under performing Gale.

As bad as Wire have been they still have plenty of strike across the pitch, it'll click for them eventually...

Gonna be close. Think Lane got to up his game. Been disappointed in him. Might be carrying an injury?

At least we l see Lovodua at 6

Thats one problem solved. Balmforth has to play now, no putting Johnstone in who's deemed not good enough, play the talented youngster.

Mitch has to play too, need to play the form players Hodgson stop ting about

According to BH Johnstone won't be playing this week due to a 'knock he copped' against Catalan so surely Balmforth has to come in to the 17 with Lovodua moving to 6 you would think?
BH has to start spelling Houghton as he will play however long he asked too but its hurting the team as we don't use Houghton effectively to get the best out of him, which is why St's no longer use Roby for 80 mins.

Got to have Hookem or Balmforth in the 17 at least.

No Balmforth. Hookem to get a chance maybe? Now his loan at Haven is over.

2 – Adam Swift
4 – Josh Griffin
5 – Darnell McIntosh
7 – Luke Gale
8 – Ligi Sao
9 – Danny Houghton
10 – Chris Satae
12 – Manu Ma’u
13 – Jordan Lane
14 – Joe Lovodua
16 – Kane Evans
17 – Brad Fash
20 – Jack Brown
23 – Connor Wynne
24 – Cameron Scott
25 – Mitieli Vulikijapani
27 – Jacob Hookem
28 – Aidan Burrell
29 – Jamie Shaul
30 – Scott Taylor
34 – Davy Litten

Hookem is playing I believe.

Not sure how Griffin can be in the 21 man squad when he is to serve a 1 match ban?

Looks like Hookem in at 6 we hope and Lovodua to spell Houghton

Fingers crossed
