We've got to keep Steamboat Wello out of that full back position, if we don't what little threat we have will be reduced to nothing and we'll be starting sets 10-20 metres further back.

I just worry where he's going to slow play down and generally get in the way next ....

No excuses given that squad. No injuries to blame there.

Other than we have salfords turd 3rd choice hooker and no halfbacks to speak of.. and of course Wello will be playing (somewhere)

Some fine excuses if you ask me

I half agree with you. Whilst I would like to think that our squad for Friday will be enough to beat Widnes (no disrespect), let's not forget there are still 8 players unavailable.

Lomax, Roby, Wheeler, Flanagan, Walker, Meli, Wilkin, Swift.

There's an argument that if any of those 8 were fit then they'd be in the 17 on Friday.

Wheeler, Flanagan, Walker and Swift wouldn't.

If any of those 4 were fit and available for this weekend they would play.

Wheeler or Ashe
Swift on Wing and Percival back to centre
Flanagan or Walker for Thompson

Any of them individually as it is now I agree. But if everyone was fit, and with Wello now clogging up a forward spot, it's unlikely any of them would feature anywhere. There are more than enough established first teamers there for us to decimate Widnes.

Re: Squad for Widnes (H) : Thu May 02, 2013 1:07 am  

Wellens
Makinson
Turner
Percival
Gardner
Hohaia
Ashe
Perry
Howarth
Puletua
Manu
Jones
Laffranchi

Bench

Soliola
McCarthy-Scarsbrook
Clough
Walmsley

It still shocks me when anyone names a 17 with Wellens at fullback. Completely baffles me.

Haha I almost put that but with the current injury situation I think he just about merits a bench spot at least!
