thinking about players being rested i think it could be
1. racth
2. evans
3. bridge
4. blythe
5. riley
6. briers
7. myler
8. hill
9. monas
10. carvell
11. laithwaite
12. mccarthy
13. grix

14. dwyer
15. wood
16. cooper
17. solomona

could be close to this i think, gives people the chance to have a rest who needs one and deserves one before wembley like: hodgson, monas, atkins, morley, westwood, trent, harrison, higham! but we cant rest briers and hodgson at the same time, because we have no kicking game or someone to take control, but if we rest briers then move ratch to 6

what does everyone think?

1 Ratchford
2 Evans
3 Blythe
4 Bridge
5 Riley
6 Grix
7 Myler
8 Wood
9 Monaghan
10 Cooper
11 Laithwaite
12 Solomona
13 McCarthy

Bench

Dwyer
Carvell
Harrison
Burke

why burke? he's a fullback

put him on bench and bring him on move ratch to 6 grix into pack ?

dont really think we can afford to rest briers and hodgson tho, we wont have someone on the pitch who can take control of the game and wont have a strong kicking game either

My guess -

Riley
Joel
Bridge
Atkins
Rhys Evans
Ratchford
Myler
Hill
Higham
Carvell
McCarthy
Waterhouse
Harrison

Dwyer
Solo
Laithwaite
Coops

dont think he will rest monas m, he still needs game time before wembley to get back to full force when we need him, think he will rest higham

Hate this kind of thread why not just wait and see what the 19 is,or are you the kind of person who can't wait for xmas?

well its a bit of fun trying to guess the 17 for friday...calm down scrooge

Riley
Joel
Bridge
Atkins
Evans
Ratchford
Myler
Hill
Monaghan
Cooper
Mccarthy
Harrison
Grix

Dwyer
Solomona
Wood
Laithwaite

Briers pulled up a couple of times in the Wigan game, would not surprise me to see him absent.

Perfect opportunity for Myler to show that he's capable of running the show, of which of course he is more than capable.

Briers and Hodgson will spend an evening chillaxing.
