Thought Caton brown was dire against us and thought walker was pretty good at forward for them really got stuck in also would rather have max jowitt in my team than Scott grix

Don't agree.

I think Jowitt would probably be better than Grix at full back - he's not good enough any more.

If you're looking at their bench I think Fifita and England would probably come in for Hirst and Walker and probably Annakin may get on the bench. Like ourselves, they have a bit of depth and the ability to rotate players. I see Wakefield where we were the season after Powell took over when we recruited for depth with players like Gibson, Channing etc. Solid platform to build from.

If you look at their team:

Jowitt, Jones-Bishop, Caton-Brown, Lyne, Johnstone, Williams, Finn, Huby, Wood, Allgood, Ashurst, Kirmond, Arona

Interchange - Sio, Fifita, England, Annakin
Quite a fair assessment Hudds.

Our first 17 is still debatable as a few players who might not have been expected to be in there have staked a good claim for a spot in the friendlies.

My guess would be
grix, Caton-brown,lyne, Tupou, Johnstone, Williams, Finn, England, Wood, Fifita, Ashurst, Kirmond, Arona.

Sio, Allgood, Huby, Bachelor

Not the team i would personally pick, but the one i think we will get

Which still leaves out players like Millar, Jowitt and BJB etc.
Sorry, I referring to a game at cas. I think that some of them would have made the first 17 for wakey

I think jowitt is the better full back but chesters hand was forced a bit last year through injuries. young max's performances dropped off a bit towards the end of the season and I think his coach will try to rotate with grix to avoid burning out a very promising young player.

I wouldn't say it was anything like a strong Wigan side,probably around 10 first teamers with the rest u19s that said we won't take Leigh lightly and we will need to be close to our best to get the job done.

10 first teamers is pretty strong to me and shouldn't concede 50

Each to there own,by all accounts nothing in it first half and then a complete 19s second half were out muscled. We all know how last week went when we did the same. Great experience for the young lads and nothing new to friendly games. I don't think you can read anything into these games at all. You can guarantee come week 1 all the teams will be ready
