Well, people have come in, and I would think both loanees would start on the bench. I also think Souter will be asked to play 80 minutes. Jowitt will play also, just not sure if on the wing or at centre. So:
McGowan Myers Jowitt Gill Taufua Gaskell Lilley D. Smith Souter Lawrence Arundel Butler Hallas

I think Souter is more than capable of doing the full 80mins and in fact when he has come off for Flanagan we have looked far worse for it. However, given that both GFS and Barraclough have been named in the 21man squad, I think you can guarantee that one of them will be on the bench.
Personally I'd go with:
McGowan M Scurr Myers Gill Taufua Gaskell Lilley Lawrence Souter Smith Butler Arundel Hallas
Okoro Appo Green Wilson
Don't think i'm biased...

Yeah I'd go with that line up but given GFS's presence in each 17 so far it looks as if EOC doesn't believe Souter can do 80mins. I certainly don't think GFS adds anything so would go with Barraclough instead if only to give the kid a chance.
"If you start listening to the fans it won't be long before you're sitting with them," - Wayne Bennett.
EOC seems too have liked playing Souter or Johnson for the majority of the game, then bringing Flanagan on for the last 15/10 minutes. Whether he's doing this because he likes that tactic or whether he's just not wanted to flog Souter in the cup games, we'll find out Friday.
Flanagans sadly gone one too many. Some fans love him because of his enthusiasm, but there's far too much haste and not enough speed now.
Just hope we have a dig, and with hopefully Fulton, Johnson & Davies back for Fax, we look much stronger.

Well this game is all but done. Sounds like Tafua is crocked and probably facing a ban given the RFL current drive to ban anything resembling an aggressive tackle.
Players need to be smart now and keep their discipline, can't afford to be picking up a load of bans with some more tough matches ahead. Could be a long 2nd half.
