Platt and Worrincy to drop out ?

Platt and Cook I would have thought.

cant really compare worrincy to langley as one is a player who makes a big impact off the bench ( although not as good in a starting role as shown last week).

Nail on the head. Worrincy is currently coming in for some criticism but for mine he's a bench player not a starter. We've had a few of them in the last decade or so - Medley and Anderson spring to mind - and impact off the bench is essential in the modern game. Just look at Saints visit to Odsal this year.....

everyone goes on about impact props but impact 2nd row is an equally valid role these days. just look at puletua at saints or lauititi at leeds

Worrincy and Platt to go for me, however, I fear one or even both youngsters might get the chop.

Mat's right when he says you can't compare Worrincy to Langley. Worrincy is a long way short of being the same calibre of player Langley is. Worrincy has nothing except pace.

If Semi is fit, I'd expect Platt and Cook to miss out.

Why not Sherriffe.

Indeed. I'd give serious thought to Platt on the wing, heresy though that may be to the scapegoat brigade.

Totally agree but he appears to be one of McNamara's Pin Up Boys.

Well I was saying who I expect to miss out, not who I thought should

If it was based on recent form then it would be any two from Langley, Sheriffe or Deacon - but we know that its far more likely to be Platt and Cook....
