Got to worry if Anderson, Arundel, Johnstone, Lyne and Miller are all in the team as we can`t afford 5 poor tacklers in the side. From the pre season games Hall and Tansey deserve a place in the squad. Presume Gibson is injured. Anakin must play if we are to have any chance of a win.

Sounds like you are putting the powder in your gun at the ready?

I think there will be 4 vying for the final 2 places in the match day squad.

Ashurst, Molloy, Annakin and Walton.
Possibly the first 2 to miss out for me

All a bit of fun I suppose, but I will trust selection to a professional, vastly experienced coach who has had the opportunity to see the players day in, day out since November.

I am worried about the defensive frailties of the backs but I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised. Enjoy the last few days of the off season and let's hope we have a squad that we can begin to be proud of this year.

I'd go with same but would start England and Ashurst with Aruna and Anderson on the bench.

Smith named the actual gameday 17 in the clubs press conference which is linked on the clubs twitter feed.
