We'll be missing our main attacking threat in Tim Smith, and still lightweight in the pack with Andy Raleigh and Danny Kirmond missing.

I'd personally be giving a few of our youngsters a run in the game against you as I can't see it as one we can expect to get points from.

I missed the trip to Langtree Park last year as I got stuck at work on the Friday night so will be making the trip this year without doubt, however I'm not expecting a shock.

Absolute best team possible. No one needs resting at this stage and we're still searching for our first win at LP this season. Obviously would like to see Percival at centre for Jones but other than that, same as last week.

Looking forward to having you over at our place, hope the weather holds out for you.

Wakey are the "Southpaws" of the league i.e. they are unorthodox and can make a good team look bad. They are not a team to be taken lightly; I think that we will go for a team similar to last week with changes made for any knocks we got at Warrington. Without knowing who is worst off after last week it is hard to say what the team will be.

It would be good to see Walmsley or Percival get a run if possible but I hope it is not at the expense of Walker and Greenwood who have been doing well and need more game time.

Re: Team for wakey : Wed Mar 13, 2013 3:07 pm  

Id have Percival In for Jones in fact Id be tempted to see Mackinson have a run at centre instead of Jones.
For me Jones's future Is In the pack.

Re: Team for wakey : Wed Mar 13, 2013 3:11 pm  

This is a Nathan Brown team, so I'd be surprised if we went with the same team as last week.

I reckon Makinson and Walmsley will play on Friday.

Re: Team for wakey : Wed Mar 13, 2013 3:15 pm  

With so many of our forwards out hard to see past a saints win here.

Tim Smith, Lauititi, Captain Kirmond, Poore, Raleigh all out. That's all of our starting forwards out ...

Be good to see young annakin, trout, Goulding etc get a game but with our first choice pack all out I fear for my team

7. Jonny Lomax,
