Think its worth it's own thread.



Cator out, hopefully Savelio back.



Hard to know what with the bench, do we go with a 2nd hooker and do we carry a winger on the bench.

I’d go with size on the bench. No point carrying a back if he’s not going to hardly get on. If Cator was fit, I’d have been tempted to use him instead of Johnstone to spell Houghton.

We’ll need to try and match them down the middle as well.

Cator up to six weeks out

Can’t see anything but a repeat of last week. Cator is a massive loss when we’re already light on go forward.

Still hopeful for Saturday.



If you takeaway our awful first ten minutes last week, there wasn’t much in it score wise. Saints played well last week, but I can’t see us being as poor again. If we can get off to a steady start and keep the score tight, then we can start putting pressure on Saints.



It’s going to have to be a full 80 minute performance, but we showed against Wigan we can do that. Also we’ll have some support this week and I’m sure that we’ll have the noisiest 600 fans there, plus we might pick up the neutral support to.

On the plus side, should we overcome Saints, after knocking out Wigan earlier in the competition, we will be off to Wembley (again) with all the confidence in the world.



If we play anything like last week, then it’s the end of our cup run this year.



We need an epic performance, similar to the one in the cup at Saints ground, with Albert playing, and they murdered us with sin binnings galore, we lost that game, but one of the best performances I’ve seen.



We need Sneyd & Reynolds/ Connor to click, we’re underdogs, go for it. Come on yu ull

For a one off cup game would take a risk. Griffin SR. Savelio LF. Fonua centre bring farimo wing. Lane Bowden fash brown on the bench.

Thats actually a good call but wont go down well with the majority on here

bench impact is very important and recently ours is zero so i would go further and have Griffin and Satae on the bench to give us some impact.

The continued use of Johnstone on an already weak bench is something i cant understand given his time on the field has been limited in any case.

If Hodgson is going to go down that road again then start Johnstone and let Danny Houghton come on off the bench.This way Houghton has looked a better and more refreshed player.

thats good news.Percival tore us to pieces last week

He was outstanding, a strike centre, Widnes boy.
