Arthur was singing Donaldson's praises in an interview this week and it sounded like he wanted him in the team for Saturday

I could see him replacing littlwood but I hope TNW keeps his spot over Goudemand

I`d like to see Sinfield in the halves but what about Johnson there for his defence?

Will Sinfield's defence be as exposed if the line is moving forward though? He's bound to look worse if he's stood still when forwards run at him, but he also needs to step up.



We really need to see what he's capable of. If he shows good signs then great, but right now he's as likely to be the next Jordan Lilley as he is a success. At some stage the club needs to work out whether to stick or twist, and we'll only find out if he actually plays.

To be fair, several coaches have complimented Donaldson on multiple occasions - Agar, Smith and Arthur.

As fans who've watched this squad over this season and multiple seasons, we've probably got a more set view of players than Arthur does. That's the advantage and disadvantage of a new coach mid-way through the season. It's a clean slate for the players, and Arthur only has the most recent games he's watched as well as training to see what they players look like. Donaldson by all accounts is an excellent trainer, and it wouldn't surprise me to see him pick Donno and Goudemand for their experience over the younger players.

After my optimism before the Wigan game last week, I think this will be one step forward and two back this week. Hopefully not, but that is my feeling particularly with the loss of Croft. In terms of the team, I'd have Cam at 6, to leave the pack as it was last week, keeping the excellent O'Connor at 13. Donno has to come in for Ben on the bench and Ash will play instead of Edgill if fit.

Not sure about Cam Smith at 6 after his recent form. I'd like to see him play rugby (driving the ball in, occasionally off-loading) not showcasing his 'footballing' skills as some Aussie pundits like to describe it. More like the guy in my avatar please!

Agree on the likely result. Wire (currently) are a much stronger side that the Pies last week. I don't expect us to win, but I will be very encouraged if we compete for the 80 mins. Do that and anything is possible.

Results almost irrelevant, little chance of plays offs, performance is key we need to back up last week and be there abouts ( i hope we do win) think we have gifted Warrington 2 easy wins thus season and flattered them, hopefully win or lose we take it to them.

Little chance of playoffs ? We win tomorrow and Cats lose we have a great chance of making the six. Cats at home next week a win we go to play off spot ?

Lots of Ifs there, its not unachievable to make the play offs but we probably can only afford to lose one more game.
