My first choice 17

3 games in this would be my 17. I have gone for size and power in the pack with Lawton and McWhirter starting in the back row, 2 proper props on the bench and an impact back rower and impact hooker.

In the backs I have gone for pace and try scoring ability in the form of Sergent, Connell and Sambou. Sambou averaging a try a game for Oldham and Sergent being top try scorer for Warrington reserves last season with 11 in 9 games.

1. Connell

2. Butt

3. Sambou

4. Edge

5. Sergent

6. Abdull

7. Gilmore

8. Murray

9. Johnstone

10. Chapelhow

11. Wilde

12. Lawton

13. McWhirter

 

14. Fozzard

15. Bibby

16. Houghton

17. Langtree

Thoughts?

Butts out injured and I don’t think Gilmore will be fit. So I would go gor

Connell

Ince

Fleming

Sambou

Edge

Owens

Abdull

Chspplehow

JJ

Murray

Langtree

Wilde

Mc Whirter

Subs

Fozzard

Lawton

Bibby

Hall

18th man Roberts

But I doubt wether he will drop Gregson and he’ll probably play Owens at centre and keep Lyons at half back.

I meant my 17 when everyone is available rather than the next game. I would'nt have Owens at stand off on Sunday though.

@dan1, I think most Widnes fans would pick that as their team, not sure AC would. It's his head on the block, we'll see.
