Smith isn't named in the squad so unless we're playing mind games he ain't playing

Well i don't think we'll see that plan when hood can just interchange with mickey.

Just leave riddy where he is. he's working well with drinkwater. Nothing happens when riddy plays at 9,so that's out of the question for me.

In reality I think that's what will happen, with Dixon missing out. But it's not what I'd do

I would go with....



McNally

Higson

Brown

Tonga/Armstrong

Dawson

Ridyard

Drinkwater

Weston

Higham

Hock

Maitua

Hansen

Paterson







Subs:

Hood

Dixon

Acton

Hopkins

Brad Fash gone back to Hull ?

Fash was at the London game in the club suit so I guess he is still with us.

On the feature of them training this week, on LCTV too.

I sort of get the feeling that Salford will use McNally as bombing practise..

Not too concerned about that McNally is usually reliable under the high ball.

I just think we need some size out wide, when we played super league opposition it was visibly apparent that we were giving away a stone and a couple of inches man for man in the centres and on the wings. Not too worried about how the pack will hold up, just hope we can implement the pressure building game plan that wins games at this level. Kicking game needs to be spot on.

I don't think size on the wings is too much of an issue with Dawson and Higson.

I think we are quite evenly matched in the three quarters,weight wise.

You'll not get many bigger centres than Tonga & Brown.

I am very surprised and disappointed that Smith isn't in at fullback instead of McNally.
