Currie and Westwood miss out for me. I just feel as though Currie needs to recharge the batteries for a few weeks. I think it'll be better for him come the end of the season. I think it's time to move on from Westwood.

I also think that we should be starting BMM.
Have to disagree with Westwood. He was poor against Salford but so was everyone else. He was the player, for me, we missed against saints to set the tempo. Aside from the Salford game, he's always driven in hard and made good metres. I agree on Currie though- I think we need to be patient and let him fully recharge as you say.

With Akuola: Price has sung his praises in the Warrington Guardian and he was awarded 1pt in the MOS rankings (after the last game). Really pleased for him and for us- we need his and Westwood's type of ferocity to give us the edge in the pack.
With pretty much a full squad to pick from I guess SP will be completing his Easter rotation as he has enough quality on paper at least to beat Hudds. I think as Gaz just said, Akuoala will play, otherwise it doesn't really reward the performance he put in last week. Plus he is fairly fresh. On the other hand the main benefit of Matt Davis is his work output, and since he played in both Easter games I suspect he will be rested. I agree Currie has looked pretty flat recently, not to mention a bit grumpy (bolocking Patton in the Salford game) and could do with a break. But I suspect Price will play him. Phibs is my other guess for a bit of R&R. He has played in all 12 games to date and has taken on a starting role recently. I think he deserves a rest this week. I assume Mamo must still be injured ?, otherwise he could have been used to give Charnley and Ratchford a bit of a break.

To miss out; Davis Philbin
Fair enough Chaz on the squad rotation front, but, I agree with Jack (sorry Gaz) re Westwood.
He's been a bit poor this term and not just the Salford game for me. I'm not saying we need to move on, he's got plenty of credit as far as I'm concerned and in the last couple of what could be considered 'bonus years' he's far and away exceeded my expectations, but, IF selected this weekend, he needs to up his game and earn his shirt back, particularly if Price is running a meritocracy.
