For me: Russell Evans Bridge Atkins Penny O'Brien Ratchford Asotasi Higham England Laithwaite Waterhouse Currie B Evans Dwyer G Riley M Monaghan Joel for me shouldn't play. I would send him swinton but TS won't do it. Hill for me has been our best player this season by a country mile. I think he deserves a week off. I don't understand why we've recalled Danny Bridge back from Bradford unless he's cup tied? But apart from that there isn't a lot you can do with that team.

What is more of a concern is what kind of team Doncaster are going to put out.

Reading an article by Paul Cooke today stating that they will be resting players as, and i am paraphrasing, he knows they will get beat no matter what team he fields so he would prefer to give his key players a week off.

I think we all may be rather bored on Sunday afternoon

I think TS is obviously hoping to rebuild some of the confidence that was hammered at Cas, and to try and build on what we saw against Widnes. Goodness knows he needs to, or questions really will be asked in the house.

I also saw the interview with Cooke and he is talking about resting players, but interestingly their dual-reg team is Hull, who don't have a match this weekend. What chance a few of their fringe players turning up to bolster things?

Apart from my cousin's Spanish wedding (Cas away) I haven't missed a game in the past 12 months, but I have decided to go and watch Leigh v Fev on Sunday rather than ourselves. Having said that, Donny are a good side this year and deserve some respect.

I think there is some of that in there morrisseyisawire and a good helping of commercial enterprise too. Warrington would be aware that Doncaster are not fielding a good side, so as to sway the minds of a Wire fan who might otherwise give this game a miss, Wire will field the first choice team.

who would pay top money to watch Warrington res v Doncaster res?

If you look at the team photograph for this year and take out all the injured players we are left with the 19 named anyway. So we are only putting out what we have left. Should we have been fortunate enough to be full strength then maybe and only just maybe would someone from u19's had a chance.

Re: Wolves Squad for Doncaster Cup Tie : Sat Apr 26, 2014 11:24 am  

Looking at the Dons 19 , we have rested 2 players only . We do have some long term injuries though .
Hope we can make it a good game .

Re: Wolves Squad for Doncaster Cup Tie : Sat Apr 26, 2014 2:47 pm  

Wonder how many Donny folk will be over?

Re: Wolves Squad for Doncaster Cup Tie : Sat Apr 26, 2014 4:06 pm  

About 100 I would have thought.
