Likelihood is Gidley not playing, which should save you about 12 points in all honesty.

Gilmour will almost certainly play left centre with Wheeler, Dean, Foster down the right is my guess.

Saints by 18 -20 rather than 30 if no Gidley.

Aye, they may as well rest him for the bigger games!

Saints resting players when they play the Bulls?

Just like the good old days...

Or then again... might be the only way we have a chance but better not pursue this line of thought and face charges of screaming breathtaking hypocrisy...

Langley might even operate reasonably at centre, but that might cause more problems in the pack!

You think? Langers has been poor recently. When was the last time he broke a tackle?

Sol would only be able to play SO in spells, then Menzies or Sykes to fill in, then Cook to centre?

I think they should all have 5 minutes at SO then rotate round one place. That will keep Saints on their toes.

Agreed. He's gone really downhill in recent times. I actually think he'd be better off used as a prop to be honest, but either way, he ain't a centre.

In fact, do people not remember Langley playing at centre for a few games a few seasons back? He was very much the fish out of water.

Please play Platt in the centres.

Put a couple of tackle bags in the centres, they couldn't do much worse.

I disagree Warrington Pinpoitned Platt from the first minute it was clear as day his positional sense just wasnt their, if we are allow him to develop at cecentre why not just put one of the youngsters in who is an actually centre at least that way they have some idea of how to play their, what is the benfit of puttign Platt in over an Academy player??

Who was totally out of position for the first Warrington try.

The difference then was that they would rest players when they didnt fancy playing us and wanted an excuse when they got beat. Now I suspect they probably think they can rest players and still beat us comfortably.
