Just looking at this Fridays 19 man squad , we can take a positive if you look at the squad numbers in it . There are only 4 numbers from 1-17 missing which means there`s roughly 77% of the man team playing . I totally agree with the comment on `mother time` in another post , Lee has had his best years and now it`s time for Richie and Stefan to show us why we bought them ....Onwards and upwards !!!

All this Lee has had his time & now it's time for Stef & Myler to ... Rubbish. Stef will be our fullback and Gareth O'Brien will replace Briers.

It will be interesting to see where they both end up. I am not convinced myself, i just hope they both get sufficient game time to show their abilities. I suspect we will look back in years to come and consider the Ratchford signing as one of our best. |

feel a little more confident after seeing the line up, just hope some of the names aren't a smoke screen.
Cooper, please keep hold of the ball.

Cooper was outstanding against Saints at Landfill Park last season in the semi final and as a result kept Carvell out of the final. Hope he plays with the same mindset on Friday.

Looking at our pack, I think we are quietly confident about the forwards.
The backs have some possibilities as well, it's the halves where we will struggle.
I'm hoping we will come out with a rough tough game in the forwards and try and work your boys over with sheer weight of numbers. Then the lack of halfbacks may not be as telling.

For me ratchford is a far better fullback than he is a half back

| Quote Alfie Langer No2="Alfie Langer No2"As long as both Monas are fully fit I'd go;
Hodgson
Monaghan Evans Atkins Riley
Ratchford Myler
Wood Monaghan Hill
Westwood McCarthy
Grix
Higham Carvell Cooper Currie
I hope we utilise Cooper as an out and out prop forward this week in rotation with the other 3. Even if its 10/15 minute bursts either side of HT will help spell both Wood & Hill.
Bridge & Laithwaite to miss out. I'd let Bridgey have one more run out with Swinton and bring him back next week. I don't think he'll be quite "match fit" for Saints just yet.
If Joel's not 100%, Bridge comes in at right centre and Evans to the wing. No change to game plan.
If Mike's not 100%, Higham to start and Laithwaite on the bench. Grix to go in at 9 when spelling Higham, Tyke to move to loose and Currie/Laithwaite to left SR. Please don't move Myler from 7 this week - he's not a 9 IMO and there was too much messing around and confusion in the pack at HKR.
In Smith We Trust. Ruddy hate Saints.'"
This Alfie 100%
whether he's in the 17 or not it's also great to have Bridge back in contention. For me, at his best he's good enough, provides great options in the three quarters and I think people were too quick to have a go at him...short memories IMO |

I'd go with what you say regarding Chris Bridge. There's really on only real 'Bridge hater' on here and if Chris were to score or make 5 tries a game, he would still find something to whinge about. He has been out for some time, so another run out with Swinton might be in order. |

Evans wasn't great last week, could open the door for Bridge. Class act Chris Bridge, I'd take a fit Bridge over most in the league, including RA
