Hope Carvell's scan is OK today, talk of bringing Pitts in; I make it:


Definitely out
McDonnell
Crookes
Biggs (can't really count him yet though)
Watts
Green

Probably back
Yeaman

Possibly back
Tuson

I'd suspect Radford will bring Yeaman back for Arundel and Tuson for Carvell if Tuson's ready, otherwise Pitts.

Very tough game this one with them losing the first two.

Good news regarding Tuson.
Pitts will come in I guess hopefully he's put on some bulk.

It would be nice if Tuson is back, but no point rushing him if he's not ready. If Carvell is available I would leave us unchanged, if not then Pitts in.

Looking at Warrington's likely 17 I think this is a game that we have a good chance of winning. The pack is pretty strong, but there isn't too much to be worried about in that back line imo. We have to cut out the mistakes, but I don't see that Warrington side being able to turn it on and blow us away in 20 minutes like Saints did.

We've had a good record against Warrington recently so I think we've got a chance. Having lost their opening two games confidence could be down too which we could take advantage of.

Looking forward to seeing what Tuson can offer us. Hope Carvell's scan is okay though and he can make the squad or at least isn't going to be out of action for long.

I'd have a serious think about swapping Arundel and Crooks if I Yeamos back. Crooks needs a big game this week for me Because I thought Arundel was excellent Friday.

That's the benefits of competition for places,

Me too. I didn't see anything to suggest that Yeaman should just come back in. We'll see how Radders applies his "the shirt's yours to lose" philosophy. Crooks will probably have to stay in though for kicking and to be honest because he has that X factor that could just spark the flying pig into life as well.

think our back 5 is a bit inexperienced without yeamo, it is better to have atleast 1 experienced centre imo. Plus he was good against catalans.

Pitts is on a charge isn't he

I can't really remember Arundel having that much involvement in Fridays game tbh due to the fact we didn't seem to use that side as much as crooks/linehams side . I do rate Arundel but I'd go with Yeamo againsts a side like wire

Yep, unlikely Pitts will be available against Wire

Jay Pitts and Russ Spiers of Doncaster have both been charged with the Grade B offence of making a dangerous throw in the 4th minute of the match at Workington Town on Sunday February 16.

Platt,[u Pitts,[/u Spiers and Green have until 11.00am on Tuesday February 26 to submit Early Guilty Pleas.

Any news on Rankin?? Heard today he picked up a knock against Saints an won't be playing against Warrington??

No Simon Grix or Matty Russell this weekend for Wire.

Be a bonus if Grix isnt back for wire, very under rated. Some on their board want him to play centre and drop Atkins.

Carvell will be a huge miss, I would start bowden, he's deserved it after friday plus think Feka is more useful coming off the bench. Hopefully Tuson can go on the bench then.

Looking forward to seeing Westerman, Whiting and Horne down that right hand side again, some of the best football we've played in a long time in the first 40 on friday.

Matty Russll not playing is also a big bonus, not only is he a very dangerous player, it should mean Rachford at FB, meaning the halfbacks are weak IMO.

He was, but was not guilty. Presumably available for selection?

Has Russell even played for them yet?

Russell played in a friendly v Widnes

Is he injured? I thought he just wasn't getting selected.

Rolled his ankle, he's got the No.1 shirt and will start when fit

Harsh on O'Brien if he's just chucked aside.

Carvell will play

I'm expecting us to beat Wire on Sunday.

How do you know that? The club has not released anything!

I expect him to miss the next 2 games (Against his last 2 clubs)

It looks like I've got driving duties on Sunday but I've never been over to the HJ before. Can anyone tell me of the best places to park for it? I know that it's next to a supermarket but I'm presuming that they'll have parking restrictions on matchdays.
