17.dowes

19.whiting

Whiting would be a safe option on the wing but gleeson will strengthen that side up and turner will add more pace....obst and long to start will give us more direction from the start and horne can come off the bench to spell houghton or go to 6 letting obst spell him....moa to start to get into them from the off..i think we have to start strong in this game and dont need to be chasing..

He wont be playing and neither will radders.

What's up with Radford? Seriously no point in "saving" players for Monday.

If that's true, what's the betting the back 3 of the pack will all be expected to play the full 80? Or maybe Washbrook on the bench to play the last 8 minutes. Then they'll all be pooped for Monday.

Injured.

Who cares, as much chance of winning there as plaiting fog. Their bruising Good Friday derby is against Salford and they back up at home. Play the U20s on Monday for me and keep target a good performance against Saints instead.

if radders is out thats a blow!

Surely it will mean washbrook coming in on the bench...not many options really.

Big loss if Radders is out.

Westy and Radders out, Dowes and Washy on the bench with Hame and Obst?

Washbrook tends to play well against Rovers. I reckon it would take Radders losing a leg to miss a Derby match and i didnt see him hopping of at full time saturday..

bring Kent or Aldous in - Local lad for the derby game

dont limp with your shoulder

Phelps
Whiting
Gleeson
Yeaman
Briscoe
Horne
Long
Dowes
Houghton
O Meley
Tickle
Manu
Fitz

Obst
Moa
Lauaki
Cunningham, but expect it to be Washbrook.

Marvellous, Radford and Westy out, means gametime for Dowes then

If he's good enough for Wigan fans

We'll get hammered!

Give Cunningham or Green a game instead of dowesy

indeed, but we wont.

I'd normally agree, is a derby the best game for this though? They would get targetted I feel. Still they could also rise to the challenge.

I know what your saying but you don't know till you play them and I suppose Agar will feel it's another area he could get slated for

Phelps
Sharp
Gleeson
Yeaman
Briscoe
Horne
Long
Dowes
Houghton
O Meley
Tickle
Manu
Fitz

Obst
Moa
Lauaki
Turner

Westerman for Dowes if he passes fitness test.

I think it'll be a game for the 'runners' Friday and quite open!!

How likely is Westy to miss out, due to injury?

Really hope he doesn't miss out, he's been in good form lately.

For me I'd go with;

Phelps
Sharp
Gleeson
Yeaman
Briscoe
Horne
Long
O'Meley
Houghton
Moa
Tickle
Manu
Fitzgibbon

Obst
Dowes
Lauaki
Westerman

Although could we see someone miss out and Whiting/Turner be on the bench?

i'd have turner ond gleeson on the right. horney and obst at 6 & 7, longy off the bench, were he can see where the weak spots are from the side lines. then when he comes on, move obst to 9 and rest houghton, later bringing houghton back on but for obst.....?

Would with a calf strain though.
