Shouldn't be taken lightly, and I'm sure they won't be. Can pull of a win against anybody on there day and unbeaten on the road so far. Although, I think we'll just prove to be to strong for them. I'd go with (assuming the boys rested on Friday are back):

1. B Hodgson
2. J Monaghan
3. R Atkins
4. M Blythe
5. R Evans
6. L Briers
7. R Myler
8. A Morley
9. M Monaghan
10. G Carvell
11. B Westwood
12. D Solomona
13. S Grix

B Harrison
P Wood
M Higham
J Clarke

No bridge? No riley?

Damn. I forgot Bridge, but left Riley out. Probably play Bridgey on the bench instead of Clarke, gives us more options and could do with starting on the bench, second game back after injuiry. Riley; think it would be unfair to leave either Rhys or Blythe out on current form, to be honest.

From the look of Ryan on Friday night he won't be fit or will be rested to fully recover, I have read somewhere that he has suffered an ankle sprain which could rule him out for this week but enable him to be back for the Wigan game. I would start Ben H in the 2nd row, he and Benny W worked their socks off last Friday and should both be 2nd row starters.
Also given that Rhys is only 18 he will need a rest, in terms of fitness he will be fine, but his younger body will need time to heal the knocks that a slightly older body can take.

So for me, assuming all others are fit..............

1. B Hodgson
2. J Monaghan
3. C Bridge
4. M Blythe
5. C Riley

6. L Briers
7. R Myler

8. A Morley
9. M Monaghan
10. G Carvell
11. B Westwood
12. B Harrison
13. S Grix

D Solomona
P Wood
M Higham
J Clarke

I would go with that team FB

Thanks...............but here is one for Mr Smith to have some sleepness nights over, when Matt. Louis and Ryan are all fit and ready for action which 3 players would he leave out







I couldn't find one of the above team that merits dropping.
The only thing I can think of is rotate and give players a rest.

I was told off a good source (no, not Tony Smith) that Ryan suffered only a small 'twist' and should be fine.

Atkins out for about a month ankle ligament damage

Not having much luck with injuries to centres this season.

Off point slightly, but how fat has Solomona got????

My two pence worth, we'll get d!cked on.

Very. He's really put the weight on since he came to us.

But i know why, keep it a secret though.



Every time we win we give him a biscuit.
