Loads of talent. We’ll be tough to beat. I do think Connor not being selected is contentious. The same with Talty being selected. The rest are the right selections based on a mix of talent, experience, form and availability. We seem, as a nation, to be a bunch of folk who spit their dummies out when every single choice or decision doesn’t go their way. A right old bunch of Mary Ellen’s…

Intriguing from McDermott.

McMeeken sounds like a late withdrawal.

Well done London. Now go rip up SL!

Those halves don’t do it for me. I get Williams, partly Smith (but I wouldn’t have picked him). Lewis an absolute no-no. The rest… apples and pears in terms of changes. Hookers bob on.

When’s the squad announced?

He didn’t sound like it when he spoke - the perception I got he knows he’s now on the drink for a while. Let’s hope I am wrong; as I agree with you.

Go back and watch the SF against Leeds. Williams was far from anonymous. Two assists, would have had another if the right side hadn’t ballsed it up, and controlled the 2nd half with Irwin. He was also a key reason Toby King had so much joy down the left side; creating space by dragging defenders towards him: time and time again. He tried the same tonight; but Wakefield were way better than Leeds. Williams absolutely was the worst half on the field - fairly anonymous. But so were pretty much all the Wire side at times.

Ah… … Currie misses out. McMeeken and Walters can play back row.

I felt a tad bit sad for him in that interview… not convinced by the quality of the questions and the constant references to his dad’s success. But I thought he handled himself very very well.

Slight amendment… Jowett for Thewlis. And McMeeken must start. 1. Welsby 2. Young 3. B Smith 4. Farnworth 5. Johnstone 6. Williams 7. Connor 8. King 9. O’Neill 10. McMeekan 11. Pearce-Paul (if fit) 12. Nsemba 13. Radley Rest 14. Jowett 15. Ashton 16. Eckersley 17. Trueman 18. Oldezki 19. Thompson 20. Hamlin-Uele 21. Litten 22. Walters 23. Currie 24. Knowles
