Morley playing with a broken jaw.....what a trooper

And no Briers, just like most of us expected. Apart from the odd person supposedly 'in the know' who will now no doubt disappear for a few days!

You are the MP for which constituency?

No Briers just means we stick to what we've been doing well, which is the basics. Keep grinding things out until we get the odd opportunity as the game wears on, then we have the firepower to finish those chances.

Will be a toughie though... Saints fired up for their biggest test of the season with their star players back, and us due for an off day at some point.

I'm leaning towards 60% vs 40% in Saints favour for this one.

Presumably Mitchell will not play, so comes down to Mathers or Riley again, unless someone is not quite fit.

Opposition...

1. Paul Wellens, 2. Ade Gardner, 3. Matt Gidley, 4. Sia Soliola, 5. Francis Meli, 6. Leon Pryce, 7. Kyle Eastmond, 9. Keiron Cunningham, 10. James Graham, 11. Tony Puletua, 12. Jon Wilkin, 13.

From that I'd go

Wellens
Gardner
Gidley
Wheeler
Meli
Pryce
Eastmond
Graham
Cunningham
Puletua
Wilkin
Flannery
Roby

Moore
Soliola
Faasavalu
Clough

Only tough call is one from Hargreaves/Clough and although Hargreaves has been playing well recently, Clough is the better player.

I hope Potter doesn't play Soliola instead of Wheeler in the centres, I think we could do with his impact from the bench against a big pack.

Sooo looking forward to next weeks insider info..

Probably gonna be the sam 17 as last week then , unless Mathers comes in for Riley (rested).. which might not be a bad thing this week to be honest as i think Richie is the more vocal of the two, and probably a better organiser of the backline than Chris..... Also after seeing Smiths interview with Skents yesterday it was obvious he wasn't gonna risk a not fully fit Briers in a game thats really not a must win game ... i actually think it could be over the Easter weeken when Briers makes his comeback ...

Ps.. I just got told that Matt Kings booked in the Hairdressers at Longford on Monday morning for a Ryan atkins Style jobby on his mop, but with a primrose and blue rinse for added effect... Now i'm 99% certain on this info but please keep it under your hat, because by all accounts thats what Matt Kings doing

This is going to be my first trip back to Knowsley Road since the 80-0 drubbing many years ago. Am actually looking forward to it.

We have a good chance to beat them as mentally we seem so much stronger this year.
