I would like to see,

Richards
Roberts
Gleeson
Carmont
Ainscough
Phelps
Sam
Prescott
Tommy
Coley
Hock
Hansen
Lockers

Feka
Fielden
Joel
Bailey

Tommy should be able to last the 80 at hooker so we could then put an extra forward on the bench which would help us IMO not going to happen though

Is Smith injured or crap? or is it just his defence thats the issue? Seemed poor when i've seen him.

Phelps looks like he might have a kicking game and hes the closest thing to a 6 weve got. Piggy for me needs a kick up the ar$e, he wants to frig about in training all day then let him.

What is Riddell accused of doing in training?

I dont no how true it is but all he wants to do is play around and act the mick. No wonder he doesnt look fit and pants like an old dog in summer.

Happy to see people putting Smith in. IMO we should go with Sam and Smith in the halves with Tommy playing off the bench going to hooker. Don't know whats happened with Mick but he isn't developing at all and we need Tommy in at dummy-half! Plus Smith really isn't that bad but he needs more protection! With Gleeson at centre we look strong defensively down the right compared with Goulding.

Obviously drop Fielden and Pryce, would put anyone on our books ahead of these 2. If Carmont is injured is Goulding still an option?

Pat Richards
Amos Roberts
Martin Gleeson
George Carmont (If fit)
Sean Ainscough
Cameron Phelps
Sam Tomkins
Stuart Fielden
Mark Riddell
Andy Coley
Gareth Hock ( We really missed him!)
Harrison Hansen (Ran his blood to water against Catalans)
Sean O'loughlin

---------------------------------------------
Feka Paleaasina
Paul Prescott
Thomas Leuluai
Joel Tomkins/Phil Bailey (Which ever one of them is fit)

Sam Tomkins is a scrum half and not a stand off and I think we will see the best of him at scrum half.

Leuluai is a hooker and not a scrum half and Michael McIlorum is not offering us anything/enough going forward. Riddell although he has not been good enough he offers more than McIlorum.

Cameron Phelps is a six and not a fullback and will be far more effective IMO at stand off. A risk in some people's eyes but against Celtic, it is a risk I would be willing to take to try and turn this season around.

Why have I not dropped Fielden? Simple who do we have who can replace him without playing someone out of position?
