Not sure about Platt at centre either. Thought they had a better option there but can't really think of who it woud be?

Purtell is injured, not sure about Chev Walker - maybe a backrower now.

Thank you. I knew they had signed someone but couldn't recall.

Yeah, Purtell would be there but he's out.



Walker or Platt will play there. We've been a bit lacking in SR without Elima and Bateman, now donaldson is out too which is why Walker is playing in second row.

I think it will be close, wakey to pinch it by 8pts

as per Wakefield Express



Wildcats 19-man squad: Mathers, Fox, Collis, Mellars, Cockayne, John, Wood, Wilkes, Ellis, Raleigh, Lauitiiti, Southern, Washbrook, Aiton, Johnson, Kirmond, Tony, Smith, Trout.

Bradford team probably as weak as the team that played us last time and we are much stronger across the park. However i do feel conditions will play a big part. A few days of dry weather and we should be able to throw the ball about and show some pace.

Given out for rain everyday but Saturday!!

High time Ellis got a game

As much as I whined when we signed Kyle Wood (Russel Howard) from Shudds he's really impressed me so far. Subsequently I can't for the life in me think of a reason not to include him in Saturdays 17. Ellis just has to be patient & put in the hours on the training field, so when he does get his chance he's like a caged beast. Learning a few moves from Paul Aiton can't be understated as well, this guy is class!!!



Top & bottom of the KW situation is he's playing well & is in the 17 on his own merits. That can only be a good thing for WTW.

Aiton to loose, Ellis in as replacement hooker with Wood and Big Ali to the bench.

Otherwise as you were, a strong team benefiting from a couple of good impact players.
