Nearer to it than us IMO.

time for our younger bench players to step up and prove they can cut it, v saints and wigan it clearly showed some arent atm

Gelling is named in their squad

Their probable team will be

Ratchford
Charnley
Gelling
King
Lineham
Austin
Widdop
Hill
D Clark
Cooper
BMM
Currie
J Clark

Philbin
Akauola
2 others

Our probable team

Shaul
Mahe
Carlos
Griff
Buchanan
Albi
Sneeeeyd
Tag
Mint
Bowden
Lane
Jones
Ellis

Satae
Fash
Brown or Masi
Johnstone

I see we have named Patterson Lund and Graham, who don't even have squad numbers. Warrington could go something like this, squad numberswise?

Starting 13 looks OK, bench will be weak again.

Question is if Masi is still struggling with a shoulder injury the give an opportunity to another young player. I like Masi but he seems to be turning into another Chris Green in that he has all the attributes & physicality to be a top forward but just lacks the aggression.

Need some bodies back soon with our home form it’s going to be a tough 80mins (if we even play for 80) and Wires away form something has to give.

Just hope we come out from the off fired up and show a real desire to front up in defence and not give them any time/space. If we afford Austin the time and space it will be a long painful night.

Savelio needs to put a run of games together or I'd be looking to pay him off for next season, good player when fit, but those days have been very rare the last 3 years. Sounds harsh but in a salary cap sport we cant afford to carry such a big earner.

The club seem to have been very cagey about injuries and timescales this year.
Unless I've missed updates.

Connor, knee, another month at least.
Faraimo hernia surgery.
Swift, Naulago, Cator, hamstring, always hard to predict.
Savelio, knee, no timescale reported.

I'd imagine the opposition will be just as interested in timescales, so why tell them?

Other teams do, not sure how it will help them, they will just look at the 21 man squad to plan the tactics.

I suppose. In seasons past they often used to include estimated return.
It wasn't a criticism as such, more an observation that they seem to a bit more circumspect this year. At least to me.

Really hope Jack Brown gets a game, doubt he will, but others have had there chance and not impressed he deserves his chance

Sorry but can only see another home loss despite Warringtons away form.

Too many missing for me, and its shown our depth isnt strong enough beyond a certain point, if Fash, Lane and Matongo as well as Buchanan are playing we l get beat thats not knocking those lads. Just how i see it.

I can't say I'm especially confident either but hope springs eternal!
We have the players to trouble them if we get to the right end of the field but that's where I think we might struggle.

Oh yep fingers and toes crossed definatley, hopefully we thrive against the odds

The weak bench will be the problem
Can only see an easy win for Warrington
Maybe a 40 point loss might see Pearson get rid of Radford

I'm not actually too bothered if we come up short as long as we give a good account of ourselves and don't have any more 20 minute disaster spells.

Why would any of our opposition be interested at this stage if Radford gave us some information and timescale of possible return to action of Swift,Ratu,Cator, or Savelio
Its just Radford.

It's probably just you, anything LR does/doesn't do, you take the opposite point of view.

If Huddersfield aren't the slightest bit interest in our possible lineup next week, then that's there look out.

Why don't you put your life savings on Warrington if you're that confident because the bookies have us as slight favourites?
Win a packet and have the opportunity to whine about our coach for another week.
It's a win/win for you.

I know, like me, you think Lee has had his time, but it is almost like you want us to lose, just to get rid of him... that is a bit daft IMHO.

As an earlier poster said
Other teams do, not sure how it will help them, they will just look at the 21 man squad to plan the tactics.
As i said its just Radford been obtuse

No not at all i always want to win but you have to be realistic when you look at what the possible bench make up will be like
I think they will roll over what we put on the field to start never mind the interchanges

So coaches wait until 2 days before a game before planning tactics.
Not sure where this "others teams do", but someone else mentioned it so it must be true.
Obtuse? Savelio is the only player we're not being told about, the rest are common injuries which can take varying amounts of time to overcome.
Maybe Cator came back too soon, as he's out again with a hamstring problem.
