Go with that halfback combo and were in for another beating.

From that 19 man squad, there isn't much choice.

I think we're in for another beating anyway.

What I think Brown will go with:

21. Tommy Makinson
2. Ade Gardner
3. Jordan Turner
19. Josh Jones
30. Mark Percival

6. Lance Hohaia
23. Nathan Ashe

11. Tony Puletua
36. Stuart Howarth
10. LMS
4. Sia Soliola
14. Anthony Laffranchi
13. Willie Manu

8. Josh Perry
16. Paul Clough
24. Joe Greenwood
25. Alex Walmsley

I agree that's the team he will likely go with although I would like to see Thompson instead of Perry not least because after his rave reviews from last week it would be good to see Thompson in action in the flesh, so to speak. Whereas Perry is always pretty poor.

I'd go with

Makinson
Gardner
Turner
Jones
Percival
Ashe
Hohaia
Perry
Howarth
Puletua
Lafrancchi
Soliola
Manu

Clough/McCarthy-Scarsbrook
Walmsley
Thompson
Greenwood

Clough/McCarthy-Scarsbrook and Wellens to miss out.

Perry is back so early because ihis injury was no where near as bad as first expected from the initial diagnoses.

Its a shame, because the rest of the team (save hooker) looks capable - fast backs, big forwards, heavy bench.
The problem will again be steering the ship.

I really hope we get to see Thompson.

Easiest decision ever, enjoy your weekend off LMS.

Probably Saints just being too optimistic at the beginning.
