And for Saints:



1. Paul Wellens, 3. Michael Shenton, 4. Sia Soliola, 5. Francis Meli, 6. Lance Hohaia, 7. Jonny Lomax, 8. Josh Perry, 9. James Roby, 10. Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook, 12. Jon Wilkin, 13. Chris Flannery, 14. Anthony Laffranchi, 15. Mark Flanagan, 16. Paul Clough, 17. Gary Wheeler, 18. Shaun Magennis, 19. Andrew Dixon, 21. Tommy Makinson, 26. Josh Jones.



I'd bring back Wheeler for Jones and go with:



1. Paul Wellens

21. Tommy Makinson

3. Michael Shenton

17. Gary Wheeler

5. Francis Meli



6. Lance Hohaia

7. Jonny Lomax



14. Anthony Laffranchi

9. James Roby

16. Paul Clough

4. Sia Soliola

15. Mark Flanagan

12. Jon Wilkin



8. Josh Perry

10. LMS

18. Shaun Magennis

13. Chris Flannery



Jones and Dixon to miss out. I would actually play Jones over Shenton given current form, but it's never going to happen.

FIRST 12 PICK THEMSELVES



Gelling on the wing



Bench



Lima

Farrell

Lauaki or Dudson

Tuson or Hughes

Tuson and Hughes to miss out for me

5 props? I like it. Let's smash 'em!

^ When we played on good friday at one point near the end we had 3 props on the field. Same again

I dont see why not, Luakaaaakkkkii can play 2nd row and im sure Dudson would do a job there. Beat them in the forwards and let the Sam/Josh do the rest

I think that Dudson is included in case Prescott doesn't make it. I expect Faz and Tuson to be in the 17.

First 13 picks itself if Prescott is fit so it's just deciding on the bench.



Lima will be there for impact as will Faz and I can't see Lauaki not being selected (played well on Friday so deservedly) so the last place is between Dudson, Tuson and Hughes. It'll probably be Tuson but I'd go for Hughes I think. He's a good second rower and in a game like this we can't afford to be shoving Hansen or Hock in the three quarters should injury strike and he'll offer his good part time back up at centre if needs be.

Still can't see why Dudson hasn't been in the team last few weeks, seems quite obvious to everyone he brings more to the table than Lauaki... but not the coaching staff for some reason?



But top of the league, who are we to argue... unless we loose, of course.

I'd also go for Hughes on the bench as I thought he stood up quite well against Hull KR and made some very good tackles. He also offers cover for the backs which can be a big help should someone pick up an injury.



Farrell was a little disappointing but offers quite a lot in attack when he plays well. Defence is a bit of an issue because he doesn't dominate tackles much but he also rarely misses tackles.

As for Tuson, he always hits hard in defence but is more prone to missing tackles and also never seems to show what he's capable of in attack.

Just goes to shows what a fantastic position the club is in at present.

Being able to play tunes with the squad like this.

I'd put Hughes on the bench. Just in case George pulls up. If he's not needed at centre then he'll do a job at 2nd row.
