Re: SL RD 1 | Warrington Wolves (A) : Tue Feb 14, 2023 1:58 pm  

Very quiet on here with the squad announced for Thurs. Probably Roberts, Tindall, Ruan and Mcdonnell to drop out. Fancy Smith will start Martin and Olpherts (though Roberts has gone well) at centre with Tetevano/Walters and Gannon back row with all 5 'Props' in the 17. Tough going with 4 starters out, but I'm intrigued as to what glimpses of Smiths style for the year that we will see.

I think Smith might prefer Martin in the centres so

1. Myler
2. Fusitua
3. Olpherts
4. Martin
5. Handley
6. Austin
7. Sezer
8. Holroyd
9. Leeming
10. Lisone
11. Gannon
12. Tetevano
13. Smith

14. OConner
15 Danger
16. Holroyd
17. Walters/Donaldson

The other alternative is Fusitua in the Centre Tetevano on the bench and Martin in the SR

I think all the pressure is on Wire here, Powell has to get off to a good start or he is toast, Although I d really like us to have a good start for once

I think that's most likely. I'd take a gamble and play Roberts, allowing Martin to play second row and Tetevano to move back to the middle. Will be interesting to see how we go without a lot of attacking strike, although not exactly a novel situation for us.

Tindall or roberts on the wing in that scenario?

I think it will look like the 17 you've named.

Who would sit out in that case? I'd say Walters has done more for a place than Tetevano.

Just don’t see Rohan not picking Tetevano. Straight contest between Walters and Donaldson on the bench. I'd go big and pick Walters. Anyway, I think you're original pick is the most likely choice.

Fusitua

I watched our (Wire) friendly v Leigh. Vaughan will be superb for us this year, lots of minutes and big metres. Could be one of SL's stand out props. McGuire is a real on field competitor and leader - still looked very good in attack and defence. I suspect we'll miss him massively but he deserves any ban coming to him.

Vaughan at his best would probably only be second best to Walmsley in SL. If he and McGuire go well with Kasiano off the bench will be a handful, you never know it could be, no I won’t say it.

I reckon it will be the above with Roberts out and Martin at centre with Donaldson or McDonnell in.
