I'd go the same, but swap Jones and Sia. Need as big a start against the wire as possible.

Fair play, but don't forget that in Sia's absence, Jones has been one of our best players.

According to that article

Paul Wellens remains one point away from 1,000 in his career. He has scored 953 points (218 tries, 40 goals, 1 field goal) for St Helens since 1998

Who remembers Wello kicking a drop goal? Who was it against and when?

Re: Squad announced : Wed Aug 28, 2013 3:55 pm  

If we get plenty ahead, surely we will give him a shot at kicking a goal

No Wheeler again; Surely he is not still injured??????????. He needs to get some game time if he is to figure in the play-offs.

I think his lack of making the squad shows this will not happen

What has happened to James Roby?
I know he has been injured but I thought he was due back by now!

I'd forget him, it appears that they won't take the risk of him breaking down again.

Rightly IMO.
