Good to see Bannister included, sure he'll get a bench spot. Surely Cull's got to give Mills a game after Friday.


I would hope so but he can only really play the one position so who do your drop to give him a run? Paddy or Deano?

Good question, as both have done more than others this year and others deserve to be dropped ahead of them. Could Gaskell play centre? I think Paddy has been superb this year so I'd be inclined to leave him in the team.

Tough. Conversations develop. It's their nature.

Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”

There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair
with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back!

Oooh-to… Oooh-to-be… Oooh-to-be-a… WOOLY!

Lee Doran (Leigh have ruined this chap, would go to the bench)
Mark Smith (no good scooting and taking the piss against Sheffield if you aint going to do it against the better clubs)
Richard Varkulis (built like terminator, plays like a girl)
Dean Gaskell (shocking finish attempt in the corner on Friday)


Bring in


Anthony Mullally (Another who's built like terminator and can cause damage)
Danny Mills (can finish a try)
Toa Kohe Love (sadly missed recently)
Ste Bannister (looked quality in the reserves game and will only get fitter by playing more games)
Brett Robinson (replace the inconsistent smith)


Would also consider putting Danny Houghton in.

For Doncaster it would be


Wildbore
Mills
Dodd
Kohe Love
Flynn
Duffy
Webster
Gannon
Thackeray
Ostick
Kavanagh
Simm
Bannister


Thompson
Mullally
Robinson
Doran (just makes the bench)



Ben Kavanagh needs more game time, recently he's been our best forward along with Gannon.

From what I've seen of Bret Robinson, he's crap.

He's a decentish player but he needs to be pushed hard.

Amzing what bad coaching can do to a player. Varks was tremendous for us and id have him back in a flash. Unfortunatley he had to move due to circumstances. Only player who left last season who we wanted to keep.

Welcome back VM ya big puff. :D

Dislike Leigh with a passion, but they are a million miles ahead of any other club in this league, a sad fact.

Wildbore was crap on friday. Unless he saw an opportunity to score he looked completely uninterested. Within 20m of line he was fine. Rest of the time he stunk.

an atmosphere that isn't created by people in matching shirts clapping along to a drum or novelty PA music might be nice!

Mulally and Bannister yes. Heard many great reviews on Banny, shame the break came when it did, as I thought he would really struggle to get a place but think his chance is just around the corner now.

I should add, I'd drop webster to the bench and have Thacks and Duffy starting. Duffy really impressed me this year

Some games though he just doesnt scoot at all, when Smith plays well Widnes nearly always win when he doesnt we are poor. To much responsibility is placed on his shoulders and i think he needs to be rotated with Thackeray and lets get Duffy back to six.


Maybe wrong and i've mentioneed it on our board (fax) that smith might be better interchanging with someone, like we do with penky and gleese. Although somebody mentioned at the time, and again on this thread, that your back up hooker isn't much cop so smith has to play 80 minutes.
