If Sol is fit, we have a few more creative options. Menzies could revert to centre if needed. I think it'll be a battle of who has the most energy on Monday. It is a slight risk going all forwards on the bench but don't see the value in Platt as a sub just in case we suffer an injury.

Crookes should do well, don't think we'll need Menzies there, keep him at SO. Can Platt play wing or centre?

He began his career as a winger at Salford I believe.

I'd go with:

Halley
Sheriffe
Sykes
Crookes
Tadulala
Menzies
Jeffries
Lynch
Newton
Koppy
Cook
Langley
Burgess

Solomona
Scruton
Worrincy
Donaldson/Olbison

I'd like to see one of the young forwards getting the final bench spot. We'll need some fresh legs in the middle after the energy sapping derby game. Don't really see the benefit of having Platt on the bench. We have options such as moving Menzies to centre if we get an injury in the backs.

I'd go with the majority of that team but play Sykes at stand off where he spent most of last night.

What is chance of Solo playing? Hope he does

Be good to see Halley back at BV just a shame he will not be playing in a Wakey shirt.

Halley. Sheriffe. Menzies. Crookes. Tadulala. Sykes. Jeffries. Lynch. Newton. Kopczak. Cook. Langley. Burgess. Subs. Scruton. Worrincy. Solomona. Donaldson.

Just comparing sides and the players in the posistions mentioned.

In bold the players i'd prefer in my side.

Matt Blaymire -- Halley
Damien Blanch -- Sheriffe
Sean Gleeson -- Sykes
Ryan Atkins -- Crookes
Aaron Murphy --Tadulala
Tony Martin --Menzies
Danny Brough --Jeffries
Oliver Wilkes -- Lynch
Tevita Leo-Latu -- Newton (consistency and due to playing more game time)
Steve Snitch -- Koppy
Dale Ferguson -- Langley Looking a real prospect.
Kevin Henderson -- Cook Cant pick either hendo been poor last few yrs however this year playing much better.
Jason Demetriou -- Burgess

Probably the toughest choice ive had to make, burgess a really talented player with a huge amount of potential / future in this game. Against JD, our captain fantastic tries his heart out every game puts 100% in, has had to overcome real adversity both individually and had to be at the fore-front of the recovery from the Watene and Walker Incidents - so for wakefield (my team) id choose Demetriou, for any other burgess would be my selection.

Brad Drew -- Solomona
Danny Sculthorpe -- Scruton getting some games under his belt, getting his fitness levels up, making many yards and chances.
Jay Pitts -- Worrincy
Kyle Bibb -- Donaldson

Cant comment havent seen much of either of bradfords side, however our young players from our academy arent letting us down and tbf are playing really well.

To miss out
Scott Grix
Richard Moore

Prefer to see Halley on the wing me, but saw replay of game from last night and his kick returns were excellent he had a right game.

James Donaldson won't feature he did a full 80 minutes for the 18's today.
