Or just play Addy at 6 and Elima at 13.

Elima will be on the bench.

Hopefully Elima and Purtell are actually fit and ready to go and its not a ruse! Will make a big difference to our chances.

Whats the deal with Langley, fit or not?

Doubtful.

Bradford are best priced at 2/1 to beat St Helens on Saturday. I like the look of the plus Eight on the handicap myself.

It's finally nice to have a squad (and a decent one at that) to choose from. We have so many injuries at the moment and the only real shortage we have for this weekend is at stand off. Everyone who has come in because of injury has played well.

Credit has to be given to Potter on his recruitment for this season because as of yet everyone has been good.

It's a big call who plays at 6 against Saints. Do you go with a change that causes minimum disruption to the team or a change that is best tactically? As I have mentioned, I would bump Kearney up to 6 and play Sykes at 1.

I will back to the boys to pick up their first points of the season at home but you never know when you're playing Saints.
