i no that the headaches smith is going to have has been brought up i,m just interested in peoples and opinions of what team you'll think he'll go for.
With westwood and wood more than likely to be back, both by far deserve to be in the team but no one deserves to be left out! any way, mine goes...
Hodgson
joel
atkins
bridge
kingy
briers
myler
moz
moners
carvel
anderson
westwood
grix

Subs i'd go:
cooper
wood
harrison
solamona

no hooker as i think moners can do 80 and the others dont offer much, if it comes to it bridgy gets in there at 9 or grix just while moners gets his breath back
apologies if its been discussed all ready first post in a while i've been off shore.

I'd go with a hooker option, and I think Clarke's form puts him in poll position for that interchange hooker spot.

Hodgson
Monaghan
Bridge
Atkins
King
Briers
Myler
Morley
Monaghan
Carvell
Westwood
Anderson
Grix

Clarke
Cooker
Wood
Solomona

Personally, I think Harrison is the weakest of our prop options. Cooper is in sensational form and deserves a spot and Solomona is a potential match winner. Really tough on Riley, but the taller wingers give us an added threat

*Falls off chair*

I agree with your team but you make a very interesting point RE: Harrison. He hasn't really hit previous form since his injury for me. He does a job and does it well, but it's been a while since I have seen a big shot or are barn storming run from him.

I had high hopes for Ben, potentially being like our Paul Gallen, but recently his game has changed and he's just slotting in now. Cooper has gone the other way.

I think unless God has told Harrison to adapt his style, he must improve to earn a spot with us and England.

Harrison has been superb in the last two games. He has been doing the hard yards and consistently winning the collision. Amazed at what people watch sometimes.

Its a great problem to have going into the final rounds of the competition with essentially a fully fit squad. I can only think of Gaz O'Brien that is unavailable.

i know different to some peoples but i really like bridge at the loose forward role and seems unfair to push riley out now and having Grix on the bench adds versitility that is what i personally would go with!

ooooh forgot woody might be back maybe have woody on bench instead of coops

Harsh on Grix who's been our unsung hero this year, but I believe Westwood will offer more to the team. Same for Riley, King offers more on the wing and Bridge back at centre.

I'd have Grix over Cooper

Depends on who we play, if it's Wigan - King & Atkins have had so much success up against Joel & Charnley that I'd leave Riley out and let those two continue to make fools of them.

How come Yed? IMO we have enough ball players across the park, so as I see Grix more of a "ball playing" 13 compared to Cooper as a "battering ram" or extra prop, I'd be inclined to go for Coops. Share the workload, do the damage up the middle, and we know we've got the best 3/4 line in the league to score when we shift the ball out wide. I'd like to hear your POV though as to why you'd pick Grix.
