It seems Ablett, Sutcliffe and Crosby will be missing for Saturday. Will Tom Briscoe be available?

Based on squad selections so far, I believe the team will be:-

1. Walker
2. Briscoe (Newman is Briscoe unfit)
3. Watkins
4. Hurrell
5. Handley
6. Lolohea
7. Myler
8. Oledzki
9. Parcell
10. Singleton
11. Ward
12. Ferres
13. Merrin

14. Dwyer
15. Cuthbertson
16. Peteru
17. JJB

Personally, I'd have Smith in ahead of JJB but suspect JJB will get the nod. The only other question will be which props start and which bench.

Looks about right. Agree with Smith over JJB at this point; it depends how well they've trained I suppose. I'm still not entirely convinced with two running hookers in the squad - for me Parcell should be able to play an effective 80 mins. If we have a centre injured, Ward can just about cover. If we get an outside back injured I'd be worried - again maybe prefer Smith on the bench as Tui can play wing or fullback if needed, Smith goes to SO... not really options JJB gives you.

Worry about our wings especially if Briscoe is out. Newman will get destroyed on the wing. Handley is so so.

Re: SL RD 1 | Warrington Wolves (A) : Tue Jan 29, 2019 6:53 pm  

This whole Handley thing is a disaster.

Needs shipping out asap.

We went from where you finished last season to competing two finals the next season with a very average team so anything is possible! You's will deffo be in and around the top 4/5 this season with the names you have brought in.

Our team is likely to look something like this:

Ratchford

Lineham
Goodwin
Atkins
Charnley

Austin
Patton

Hill
Clark
Cooper
Clarke
Hughes
Murdoch-Massila

Walker
Philbin
Akualoa
Tasi

Question marks over who will play at Scrum Half now we've lost Brown. Could be as simple as Patton straight in or move Ratch to 7 and play Mamo at 1.


Hope its a good turn out in front of the cameras, decent K.O time on a Saturday so should be no excuses from both sets of fans. Safe trip over!

Best accountants in the league at the every least.

Good luck from a wire fan, I think you will get the better of us on Saturday as Kev brown is a massive loss as he has been building a partnership with Blake Austin over the full preseason. Atmosphere should be buzzing and I can’t wait, there are about 500 seats left in the home stands which should get sold on the gate so if it’s a sell out depends on how much you bring

I think Warrington are more of a known quantity, with the exception of Austin.

Leeds also have several players coming back from injury. Plus, the conditions might not be great. Could go either way but I'm not expecting Leeds to hit their straps from Round 1 with the amount of change they've had.

Good luck for the season ahead.
