Can see nobby playing our "strongest 17" but with smith mathers etc, but i would play:

Pat
Roberts
Goulding
Pyrce (says he wants to play in the centres and his form at centre in the reserves is good)
Ainscough
Tomkins
Smith
Prescott
Riddell
Feka
Hansen
Tomkins
Lockers

------------------

Coley
Davies (really rate this guy after watching a few reserve games)
Mossop
Macca

Would play Sam and Ainy to try and get there confidence up because lets face it last night they really didnt play well (werent allowed to)

I would personally give Sam and Ainscough a rest for the Saints game and probably play them in the reserves on Saturday

Bring Mossop in for Hock

Pryce in for Carmont

Give some of the reserves a chance

FB 5 Pat Richards (K)
RW 2 Amos Roberts
RC 12 Phil Bailey
LC 20 Karl Pryce
LW 28 Shaun Ainscough
SO 25 Sam Tomkins
SH 6 Tim Smith
P 8 Stuart Fielden
H 9 Mark Riddell
P 29 Ben Davies
SR 14 Joel Tomkins
SR 16 Harrison Hansen
LF 13 Sean O'Loughlin (C)
S 11 Gareth Hock
S 17 Michael McIllorum
S 19 Paul Prescott
S 24 Lee Mossop

That team would bring some interesting positional battles to the fore:

LC - Bailey v Pryce
SO - Tomkins v Smith
Prop and bench prop - Fielden v Prescott v Davies v Mossop

other than that might as well play the first team, I don't think we'd gain too much from giving Mathers a run out at full back for example, but we'd certainly be risking a lot.

Goulding was taken off injured in the reserves yesterday and I can't see him being available for a couple of weeks.

Could you please provide me with their height, weight, hair colour and favourite food aswell please? thanks

After this game I think we should send the likes of Mossop and Goulding on loan for the rest of the season

Both of them would get into the Salford or Celtic side's and it would do them both a lot of good

I think we can afford to rest one or two players before the Saints game but not too many as Barrow will be fired up and we have to make sure that we make it through-

Roberts
Pryce
Bailey
Carmont
Ainscough
S Tomkins
Leuluai
Paleaaesina
Riddell
Prescott
J Tomkins
Hansen
O'Loughlin

subs
Fielden
Coley
Mossop
McIlorum

Id go with

1. mathers

2. roberts
3. goulding
4. pryce
5. ainscough

6. tomkins
7. smith

8. prescott
9. mcillorum
10. ben davies

11. mossop
12. hock

13. farrell

14. palea'asenia
15. riddell
16. fielden
17. o'loughlin

rest hansen, richards, carmont, leuluai and joel tomkins

ben davies and mossop really impressed me in the reserves yesterday and I think eventually mossop could move up to prop in the first team, play him second row next week and give ben davies a run- the lad makes tons of yards in the reserves and personally i think him and mossop are ready to make the step up.

Id also give liam farrell a run out- this lad is going to be world class! no doubt

I would go with that

I think Joel and Carmont definitely need a rest
