I think the biggest selection headache is Turner or Littler for centre. Presumable which ever gets the nod then the other will drop out of the 17 altogether.
Who would you go for?

At the moment I think that Turner is a bit of a defensive liabilty. I'd rather stick with Littler despite his faults at present. Turner needs to work on his defence, then be brought in slowly. Otherwise he could just get blown away early season, lose confidence and with it his potential to be a much better player.

:CLAP: Love him or hate him, 163 consecutive appearances should make Stuart Littler a Salford legend in anyone's book :CLAP:

Littler.

Jordan is potentially a real talent but Stuart has SL experience as a centre.

Ratchford is unlucky not to be in the 19 man squad after the good pre-season he has had. Im sure he will get his chance in the coming months, Mcrae obvisously feels he has,nt played as well in pre-season as the likes of Turner, Littler which I disagree with.

As for who to play at centre today I'd probably go for Littler because of his experience.

to hillbily red nobody is saying ratchford should be guranteed a spot but on the form he has show in pre season he should have a least been on the bench if you look at the squad who can cover the halves bearing in mind robbie has stated he doesnt want to play halfback because he isnt has quick has he used to be


Wilshere, Robbie Paul, Fitzy at a push...Id say Robbie Paul has made a massive difference to us in the friendlies I've seen (the play the ball is much much faster when he's on) so I cant argue with him being on the bench, Wilshere can and has played half back for us in the past and Fitzy played half back for Ireland in the world cup so we're not exactly short of options.

The way some people are talking its as if we're leaving Wally Lewis out of the squad

but jordan isnt playing and is best position is loose foward.my point is and wigan supporters are having the same problem. i will stop after this post we have 3 years to blood these youngsters and we are not doing it robbie wont be here at the end of the season we will never beat australia or the kiwis how many british born players in tonights squad and then tell me its correct in wigans team last night 9 foriegn players its not right.just because they cant get contracts at home it anoys me to see our talent get pushed out .we need to start a petition to get the quota reducded to just a couple.

Come on that's EXACTLY the point - you bring youngsters in gradually - the fact that this squad has been built in the way it has is very encouraging - the youngsters WILL get their chances - you don't throw everyone in on day 1, with this 3 year period we don't have to do that and it would be self defeating.
RL, more than most sports, IS a squad game - during the course of the season there will be injuries, loss of form etc and I'm 100% certain there will be rotatin within the squad - so let's stop the perpetual complaining and support the team and the coaching staff

Be patient Everton - give the lads time. It really is a different level.
