Team for wire : Sat Jan 23, 2010 1:54 pm
Lets have your predictions.The side at wire will very much be gearing up for the first game at home to Celtic. I would treat this game as if it was a full competitive outing. There are a number of places available in the 17 for the first game and hence i would expect every player to be trying his best to secure a place in the side for the opening league game.
I would suggest our full strength team will start the game so what would that be?
Mine is:
Phelps
Amos
Gleeson
Carmont
PAAAAAAT
SAM
Deacs
Fielden
Tommy / Piggy ( Not sure who but i would personally start with piggy and
Coley have tommy on the bench for the first 20 mins)
H
Joel
Lockers.
The big question marks remain over the bench places. Who plays between preccy and Eamon, which hooker is on the bench, who starts in the half back roles, will Mossop make the bench for the fist ga,me or will MM opt for some threequater cover in Goulding or pryce.
I think there are a number of positions up for grabs so it will be disappointing if we are defensivley poor again.
