That imo would be our strongest line up of the season if we can field this team next Sat. I expect Meli, Soliola and Clough to all come in. Hopefully Graham(Back spasm), Roby(on report) and Moore(Court case) are all cleared to play and i would have full confidence in that seventeen doing the job next week!

Roby also has a hand injury which is being x-rayed so even if he's cleared by the RFL, he could still be out. Leon and Kyle were also reported as having 'knocks' (which could mean anything up to a broken ankle based on our 'knocks' of this season!)

Meli, eastmond, pryce, lomax, Graham, roby (if not banned) and sia will all play next week IMO.

That's how I imagine we will line up. Saintsfan, that's my team and from anyone at saints.

i think the team next week will be 1 wellens 2 makinson 3 shenton 4 meli 5 foster 6 pryce 7 lomax 8 graham 9 roby 10 tony p 11 wilkin 12 sia 13 flannery 14 moore 15 lms 16 clough 17 gaskell/ eastmond

That's not even a decision to be made IMO, Eastmond every single time.

Other than that, spot on. TP should start at prop rather than 13 so we have 2 genuine props on the bench in LMS/Clough.

If we start with TP in the back row and only one (underdone) prop on a bench of back rowers and backs, we might as well hand the game to the pies with a nice cherry and white ribbon on it.

If Jammer doesnt play it must be bad, it takes alot to put him out of any game but a CC semi against Wigan I doubt he will miss it...
Pryce and Eastmond....you never know
I think Sia will play
Meli= i think it will be mentality rather than pain to weather he will play
Roby will get screwed by the RFL so it doesnt really matter about the x-ray.

Is Wheeler not back for this one?

Nah. Still 2-3 weeks away.



(You're mean!)

Really? Semi final on national terrestrial telly? One of the biggest stars who has an exemplary disciplinary record?

Hey he rocked wigans world for 40 minutes.

But he's not the hobnob of biscuits, more of a rich tea.
