I have gone for impact off the bench.
If Karl Pryce was close to playing against Leeds than he must be ready. He should offer more at centre than Phil Bailey, who had a poor game against Leeds.
Andy Coley has improved in the last 2 weeks and I would start him against his former club.

Swap McIlorum and Riddell, Lockers and Joel and your just about bang on for me
I think Prescott deserves a run but Coley has improved in the last couple of weeks so it would be harsh to drop him. Dropping O'Carroll would probably knock his confidence eventhough I think he could do with a weeks rest
I would like to see some others get a chance though.
Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS

I have gone for impact off the bench and I believe Riddell would have a greater impact off the bench than McIlorum. It is something different I would like to see us try.
The only reason I haven't swapped Lockers and Joel is because both have been going well in recent weeks and I wouldn't want to change the team around too much.

I don't think Riddell is an impace hooker. I think he is best from the start, controlling the ruck and getting our forwards on the front foot for McIlorum to hopefully carry on
As for Lockers and Joel I just think that Lockers is more suited to 2nd row and Joel is better at loose

would give Smith a run out at S.H. would leave Coley out and give Prescott a run out also leave Hock out as i think he is still carrying the knock he got to his hip and could do with him fully fit for Hudderfield move Lockers to S.R. and Joel to L.F.

swap pryce for bailey, the reson being i dont think he is that good defensivly that he can stop talou, other than that its a good team, i agree on smith being in at 7 i dont think tommy will be to vexed off at cumin on as a sub, salford will tire quickly i think
I would not play Tim Smith. Is his defense going to get any better just because we have moved him to scrum half? No he will still be a liability.
Should we bring back Tim Smith we will have had Smith/Leuluai , O'loughlin/Leuluai , Tomkins/Leuluai, Tomkins/Smith so far this season as our halfback combinations after only six games. How can we form a successful halfback combination when we keep changing it every other week?
I think we need consistency in that department and allow Leuluai and Tomkins to understand each other to gain a bit of cohesion in attack. Notice the 2 most successful teams have not changed their halfback combinations for a number of years - McGuire/Burrow & Pryce/Long. We should be looking to do the same.
Unless Tomkins or Leuluai are injured I don't see a reason to bring back Tim Smith.
