Swap Kirke and Ali and I'd go with that. I think Ali's a better player off the bench, and also adds a little bit of guile to the subs in order to inject something different into the game.

I'd roll with that. Spot on. But he was a big part of blasting Celtic away early doors, worth noting I suppose. I feel however that his game is suited to being an impact player. If (or when) Eastwood gets here you can mix those two up quite well and have a good level of impact throughout the game.

Nobody thinks Diskin is going to start Loose Forward? Wouldn't be surprised myself...

I can't believe that he will start with both Diskin & Buderus. I still think he'll start with Diskin & bring Buderus on later while still possibly keeping Diskin on as well.
Is there anybody in the Wakefield side that you'd want in our side or squad?
If not shouldn't that mean we should win easily?

If Wakefield play to the best of their ability and we play to the best of our ability, we'll win.

My view is that it will be a close game, for the reasons you allude to, proving that in a team game sometimes the whole can be greater than the sum of the parts.
I still stand by my statement that I wouldn't want any of your players.
If you could choose from either squad what would your team be?

You should know, you have the monopoly on that one.
