Atkins loses out due to Evans form v London, Myler loses out cos if he were a daytime TV programme, he'd be the weakest link.

I would still stick with Plan A of Richie & Ratch in the half's & Russell at FB. Thats what TS & the team have practised all close season and just because we have had a wobbly couple of opening games we should not change our plans until we have a valid reason. We have not this season had a game with our 1st choice 1, 6, & 7. Lets make our minds up when we have played 4 or 5 games with Russell, Ratch & Richie.



1 Matthew Russell

18 Rhys Evans

4 Ryan Atkins

3 Chris Bridge

5 Joel Monaghan

6 Stefan Ratchford

7 Richie Myler

10 Roy Asotasi

9 Micky Higham

8 Chris Hill

11 Trent Waterhouse

12 Ben Westwood

13 Simon Grix



25 Ben Evans

23 James Laithwaite

14 Michael Monaghan

21 Glenn Riley



To miss out.

20 Gareth O’Brien

29 Gene Ormsby

Rhys has to start for me based on what I saw last week. I can't think of anything he did wrong and he sure did plenty right, so I guess that means Ormsby missing out (but Atkins should)



The other depends on whether Riley and Grix are fit.

If they both are then it looks like GOB could miss out (unfairly)

If GOB misses out then Smith is an ar*e and all this ISWT rubbish will be out the window.

Still going for Mick Monaghan and resting Trent as my two to miss out. We will need Trent v Wigan and a weeks rest will do him good.

Actually, scratch that, still leaves us with too many outside backs. Instead I'd give Joel another week off and leave his brother out too. That allows Rhys Evans another run out and gives Myler a bench spot to cover hooker and half back. My team would be:



Russell

Evans R

Bridge

Atkins

Ormsby

Ratchford

O'Brien

Hill

Higham

Asotasi

Waterhouse

Westwood

Grix



Myler

Evans B

Laithwaite

Riley

Would ISWT be 'out the window' if he left GOB out & we play well & win ?
