I would say that Oakes and Wardill aren't ready for a Derby game but they are fit so unfortunatley you have to make the best of a bad situation. Ideally neither of these would have played this season and you would let their development continue in the academy!!!! I also feel that Mulhern needs a bit more development before he can be classed as a super league player. Of our other young players Lawler is a great prospect and is proving himself week on week and Minns could be a future England International (He is that good on his day) I think Marsh has a long way to go before he is ready to be classed as a SL halfback but with the lack of Under 23's where does he get that development time????. Obviously if Thornley is proven fit then he will slip in at centre and Sio will go out to the Wing and then just one young lad will play... If Clarkson is passed fit then he will replace Mulhern too...
Then the team would look a bit more like this;
1 Cockayne

2 Sio
3 Thornley
4 Minns
5 Wardill/Oakes Unsure which one as both are raw!!

6 Blair
7 Kelly

8 Walker
9 Lunt
10 Allgood

11 Donaldson
12 Horne
13 Clarkson

14 Green
15 Lawler
16 Greenwood
17 Tilse

18 Moran
19 Mulhern

Wont go down with many but personally i would bring Dixon back in for Wardill.

I know he's only young but Wardill had at least a couple of decent half chances for tries against Widnes and didnt take them, we wont have that luxury against FC. Dixons pace (provided he would have caught it) would more thank likely have scored.

Wardill under the bomb is equally as unreliable as Dixon and I cant remember him leaving the ground to challenge for any that Widnes put up to him at the weekend. This is definitely something I think FC will exploit this weekend.

Dixon just edges it for me as he brings more to the attack than any of the other available wingers.

Cockayne
Sio
Thornley
Minns
Dixon
Blair
Kelly
Walker
Lunt
Allgood
Horne
Greenwood
Clarkson/Lawler

Boudebza
Green
Tilse
Donaldson

Any mileage in putting Marsh in at full back to give him game time? Play Ben on the wing (for his goal kicking!) to avoid chucking the young lad in. If Thornley isn't fit maybe we'd be better with a forward at centre than Sio. For me we might as well play Dixon - if it comes off we might get some excitement.

I'm just hoping for no more embarrassments like the last derby / cup. Just lets be competitive and look like a rugby team.

I don't think we've many real options though, unless Campo makes a surprise return we've no game changers to introduce so we've just got to stick to the usual suspects and hope they play like a team that's more than the sum of its parts. Sometimes they do, just hope its Sunday.

I'd go with an unchanged line up from Warrington away, although I need a late fitness test after consuming 1 too many on Saturday.
