Thats the reason why we can't afford to just throw a load of kids in and hope that sheer passion will see them through. It may get you so far but if thigns start badly we could end up on a real hiding. Imo we just need to try and get our best team out there and hope they grow some balls(and that Saints are still battered from the Leeds game)
I'd go-
Richards
Roberts
Bailey(don't believe the Gleeson deal will happen at all)
Carmont
Ainscough
S Tomkins
Leuluai
Prescott
Riddell
Paleaaesina(can't afford to leave him on the bench with the possibility of him coming on with the game already gone)
Hansen
J Tomkins
O'Loughlin
subs
Fielden
Coley
Hock(keep him out of the fire for 15 mins or so)
K Pryce
That'd be by my choice only with Karl Pryce not in the 17, ST on the bench and Tim Smith starting.
