Squad for Monday : Sat Apr 23, 2011 1:24 pm  

Not as bad as I thought it might be! Apart from Wheeler, the line up is the same as against Wigan so far as I can see. But if Wello is playing on an ankle injury then we may lose him again. But then again, we may lose someone completely different! I suspect there are going to be a lot of injections going around come Monday morning!

I suspect there are going to be a lot of injections going around come Monday morning! Could be Wellens has been included without any real prospect of being played. If we only have 17 fit players then add 2 others that are out maybe the easy option, rather than having to make a quick decision over an 18 year olds fitness to be picked. I reckon 28. Tommy Makinson, 2. Ade Gardner, 3. Michael Shenton, 5. Francis Meli, 22. Jamie Foster, 20. Jonny Lomax, 14. Scott Moore, 15. LMS 9. James Roby, 10. James Graham, 4. Sia Soliola 12. Jon Wilkin, 11. Tony Puletua, 18. Matty Ashurst, 19. Andrew Dixon, 21. Shaun Magennis, 24. Tom Armstrong,

Yeah better than expected. Are we allowed to change this if those rumoured to be missing like Wello, Lomax and Soliola do miss out?

I'd love to see Mackinson have a go from fullback.

Makinson did quite well in wellos absense, defititely should be there if the great one is injured

Eastmond has a chest infection.

However, I've just noticed that Josh Jones has acquired the no.30 shirt in the first team. He's been training with the first team on a part-time basis. He can play wing and stand off, among other positions. Maybe he's going to get his debut?

I don't think Jones will play, he played for Saints U20's at Orrell today.

Why not? If first team players can play two matches in three days, so can someone in the u20s. He's got the shirt and he didn't have one yesterday, so I assume he's at least in reserve.

Re: Squad for Monday : Sat Apr 23, 2011 6:39 pm  

How did Josh Jones play today Rogues? Tremendous talent!

Oh by thevway Josh as NEVER played stand off!!

If he was going to play, then he wouldn't have been risked in the U20's. Wigan didn't play King, Tuson or Goulding today.
