Don't think that I've seen such a good squad line-up for some time. Given that Escare will probably be gone next week, with the addition of Max this squad could be almost perfect.

Have to agree here redders, makes all the arguments about Gaskell and Lineham irrelevant as I think they'd probably struggle to get in anyway.

Re: 21 for the Wire : Fri Mar 18, 2022 12:19 am  

Here’s mine

Escare
Johnstone
Hall
Lyne
Kay

Miller
Lino

Fifita
Hood
Arona
Ashurst
Pitts
Batchelor

Bowes
Walker
Tanginoa
Whitbread

I was really torn between Tanginoa and Battye.

Walker I felt deserved to be in but I’d have him interchange at loose to bring an attacking edge after Batchelor graft (thought he was excellent that first stint last week at 13).

I’ll take it further.

Players who won’t play but could or will be able to shortly are

Gaskell
Tupou
Kershaw
Sid
Aydin
Croft
Minns

All tested at SL level

Army Dave
Isaac Shaw

Look close

Whilst you wouldn’t be scared to play Eseh, Windrow or O’Donoavan. Murphy no issue either but only if we are on form as he will need a confidence builder.

All tried and tested at SL level. We’ve had more quality in the past but never the depth imho.

Think there is certainly 2 otherplayers you could put into the top category there too 2 who will probally be unlucky not to play v warrington after all its a 21 man squad of which only 17 will play

Re: 21 for the Wire : Fri Mar 18, 2022 1:19 pm  

Warrington squad:

Ashton,
Butler,
D Clark,
J Clark,
Cooper,
Currie,
Darbyshire,
Davis,
Dean,
Holmes,
Hughes,
King,
Longstaff,
Magoulias,
Mata’utia,
Philbin,
Ratchford,
Thewlis,
Walker,
Widdop,
Williams.

Not many weak links in there.
Lets hope they dont click for a couple of weeks.

Our pack can compete but, they should have the edge in the halves.

Lets hope its a decent game and we can sneak a win

Come on Trin !

They have more quality over the full 17 but there is always a way.

Wire is a strong line up, lots of top drawer names in there.
Didn't do them FA good last week though, you'd have thought they'd be more competitive than us

Not sure we can afford both Bowes and Walker on the bench. For me it will be one or the other.
Both Battye and Tangianoa went very well last week.

No Battye, our best prop after Dave?
