Not often a side includes all the numbers 1 through to 13 in a matchday squad!
(I know our 7 will likely miss the cut to 17, but impressive nonetheless)

Not that it matters one bit but Coote is wearing socks in the photo.
NEVER WRITE OFF THE SAINTS
Grace's trousers are too long.
Nice to see Luke Douglas on that photo, with Lees possibly in a longer recovery that takes him out of the season, I wonder if the live salary cap will allow Luke to come back into the playing squad.
I think it would breach the rules of the cap to have Douglas back.
Let's hope the boys can pull it off. I always think of the CC as a good test for a sides mental robustness.
Paulo will probably get a game but i would prefer Bentley. Bentley is versatile and has earned it in my opinion. A Wembley shirt can be a once in a lifetime thing. If Paulo gets one i hope he pulls his finger out.

Paolo, Coote and Naiqama were brought in for their experience and in Paolo and Coote for their composure under pressure. I can't see Paolo not playing if he's fit. He works well with Knowles and as Knowles hasn't played for a while he'll become even more important.
Bentley is young and will get more chances further down the line.

Roby will be fine its Coote who could be our biggest worry when he gets clattered catching those high balls, we probably need to cover a possibly change at half back and Paulo is capable of doing that. We also need a high completion rate and although Bentley has been putting in some good performances he does drop a fair bit of ball at times, Paulo plays a tighter game and gets that bench spot for me.
I still think Austin will play, not that it should worry is to much.
However, it makes a mockery out of announcing a squad when you can seemingly just change it anyway.
What are the rules regarding this?
