last time we played saints we had menzies against gidley and platt against gilmour?. this time it'll be nero marking gidley and menzies against whoever plays other Centre. plus we'll have deacon in halves as opposed to sykes. solomona replaced by morrison. Really cant decide if were stronger or weaker than last time we played. tend to think menzies would be more effective against gidley but swapping menzies and nero over would disrupt team massively. Think we'll cover handicap but result could go either way

No we didn't Gidley didn't play Menzies was up against young Chris Dean and Gary Wheeler.

after saturday think we'll be tempted to give burgess a shot at LF as he had a blinder there for england and raised his game and shift langley to left but otherwise thats how I'd imagine we'd line up. Think your right about gidley missing out last time . remember menzies totally shutting attack down on side of field he played last time but cant remember who Centre was.

Not sure, Think Langley is in good form and Burgess makes more impact on the edge in comparison to Langers.

Team I would pick.

Halley. Sheriffe. Menzies. Nero. Tadulala. Jeffries. Deacon. Scruton. Lynch. Burgess. Morrison. Langley. Subs: Kopczak. Rinadli. Worrincy. Cook.

If the rumours that Wilkin isn't fit are true, we're likely to be:

Wellens
Gardner
Gidley
Wheeler
Meli
Pryce
Long
Graham
Cunningham
Hargreaves
Clough
Gilmour
Flannery

Puletua
Faasavalu
Ashurst
Roby

Although I'd be tempted to have TP starting and Cloughie on the bench for some added size early on with the Bulls big pack.
