I'd go for 3 plus a utility but I could understand 4 weather dependant.

I personally would go with Byrne, powell + Cooper starting and Singo Ellis Isa O'neil on the bench.

Field
French (assuming nothing comes of the ice pack)
King
Wardle
Marshall
Cust
Smith
Cooper
Powell
Ellis
Farrell
KPP
Smithies

Havard
Singleton
Mago
Isa

I assume Byrne is still banned? otherwise he starts, Ellis to bench and Mago out.

Was a hard pick between Isa and O'Neill, both bring cover in different ways (O'neill can play hooker or loose, Isa can play Second Row or Centre / allow KPP or Farrell to go centre) but i think Isa allows cover to more positions.

I think Ellis starting might be a tad controversial of a pick, but my thought process is that it could help alleviate the drop off in intensity we saw when the forwards rotated in the Salford friendly, i think Singleton & havard coming off the bench looks stronger and more balanced than Singleton and Ellis. I would look to rotate Mago in as late as possible against a more tired defence.

Edit - just checked Byrne only had a 1 match ban so changing my initial picks around, Ellis to bench, Mago out.

Byrne and Cooper to start

Ellis and Havard on the bench.

Won't happen however and Singo will play and continue to offer absolutely nothing to team. I'll await the "hE dOeS ThInGs yOu CaNt SeE" reply.

He does the little things not seen by us :lol:

He wasn’t the best against Salford. He has it in him to be a decent option. When he returned from his ban and he had a stint when we first signed him he was great for us. He needs to find that form again. I think they see him now as a bit of a leader when Cooper goes off.

Singleton looked very slow and lethargic the other day, can’t recall if he was at fault for Borough’s clean break.

Lost his starting spot too.

Wonder if he’s not had a good preseason?

I believe the plan is to loan Hill out for a month given that the Reserves don't play for that long.


Well well well would you look at that "The WarringtonWolve69"

Hill has gone out on loan as confirmed last night. Its almost like I do have a contact after all.....
