Let the bellyaching begin. The second-guessing and Monday morning quarterbacking, too.With two weeks left until the Ryder Cup, United States captain Davis Love III has named Rickie Fowler, Matt Kuchar and J.B. Holmes as the first three of his four wild-card picks. Chances are, youre already shaking your head and tsk-tsking over one of these selections. Or even all three.Well, heres the thing about captains picks: Theres inherently something undesirable about all of them. If they were slam-dunk, no-doubt-about-it, ideal-situation options, theyd likely already be one of the eight automatic qualifiers who made the team two weeks ago. The talent pool might be deep for the American side, but its not so deep that players outside that top eight are without fault.Which leads to another thing about captains picks: There are no right or wrong answers -- not today, at least.Judging these selections in the hours after theyre announced is akin to the annual sporting ritual of grading NFL team drafts before those players are ever in uniform, let alone actually playing in games. Its utterly ridiculous and we all know it, but we still cant help ourselves.And so, in the immediate aftermath of Mondays announcement, Love was already being scrutinized for three logical, if not inside-the-box, picks -- none of which should have come as much of a surprise.Some will insist that instead of Fowler, that pick should have gone to another young star with some moxie, like Daniel Berger or Justin Thomas. Fair enough, but that would not only lose the experience of a two-time player to a potential rookie, but it would also snub a guy with a critically better overall résumé.Others will contend that Kuchar should have been replaced by Ryan Moore, whos in better current form. Theres logic in that, too, though the team would lose one of its most malleable partners and a guy who just claimed a bronze medal playing for his country at the Olympics a month ago.Even others will believe the Holmes pick should have gone to Bubba Watson, if Love wanted to assure himself of one of these big hitters. While including a two-time Masters champion, it would also mean including a guy who often toes the line between melancholy and irascibility.All of these ideas lead to one more thing about captains picks: Theres never been a perfect determination for why one player makes for a better pick than another.Is it current form? Thats a cute sentiment, but the fact is that on the games highest level, form is still fleeting. Rory McIlroy won the Deutsche Bank Championship, then finished T-42 at the BMW Championship six days later; Dustin Johnson was eighth at the DBC, well off the pace, then won the BMW. And these are two of the worlds best players. Form is even more volatile for players further away from the top of the world ranking.Is it past Ryder Cup experience? If so, Love shouldnt even have considered anyone on previous teams, which have lost each of the past three competitions and six of the past seven -- except, of course, Holmes, whose lone prior appearance came for the winning 2008 squad.Is it analytics? Poring over recent statistics helps to explain which players can assist the team in need areas such as driving accuracy or midrange putting. Then again, poring over statistics is exactly the kind of thing that Europeans laugh about as theyre enjoying a few pints after another victory.Is it team camaraderie? Well, this intangible has certainly worked wonders for the European side, though picking players simply based on potential partnerships seems to be overthinking the situation -- especially when the entire outcome is always in doubt going into Sundays singles session.The one thing we can all (possibly) agree on is that these captains picks shouldnt go to those players who deserve it the most; they should go to those who can best help the team win.We wont know until the early evening of Oct. 2 whether Fowler, Kuchar and Holmes were the best selections for the team. That can be determined only by their personal records -- and that of the team. If they succeed and the team wins, they were the right picks. If they falter and the team loses, again, they will have proved to be the wrong ones.Speaking of which: Love will make one last wild-card pick just after the Tour Championship final round on Sept. 25. It will presumably go to the hot hand, whoever plays well during the season finale. It will also presumably be Monday morning quarterbacked, with observers shaking their heads and tsk-tsking afterward.None of that matters. The conjecture beforehand is just that, while the real winners and losers wont be determined until the Ryder Cup itself has been decided. Mark Jackson Jersey .

Saints went down 32-24 to Lee Radfords men at KC Stadium in round 16, but there were positives in the game for the 2014 Super League champions.After trailing 12-0 early in the game, Saints fought back to lead 18-14 at the break before being outscored in the second half, which Cunningham believed was against the run of play. I thought we righted a few wrongs with the performance at Hull FC on Saturday and bar a few poor decisions and tough calls from the man in the middle we should have come away with it, said Cunningham. For large portions of the game we were the better side but we came away with nothing other than a little polish on our pride. Phil Clarke previews this weeks Super League fixtures as he rules out a late Leeds Rhinos surge We had lots of opportunities even though we lost our half-back in the first minute. That meant we had to juggle the whole side around and that isnt an easy thing to do. It also hurts our rotation. But every one to a man did themselves proud.We started slowly but built into the game and scored some nice tries. We then had those chances but we got hurt and fell short. That said, it was a good performance. Now we have to build on that into this Fridays game. Saints v Wolves: Key battles Three contests that could decide Fridays Super League clash Luke Walsh was injured in the second minute of the game, forcing Jon Wilkin to pair with Theo Fages in the half-backs, and Cuningham has hinted he may opt for the same pairing on Friday night after it was confirmed Walsh will miss the next few weeks.ddddddddddddWalshy and Theo were going well - Jon Wilkin came in and did a good job on Saturday. He is a good leader for this club and to have his influence in the middle will help us. Keiron Cunningham wants his side to build on last weeks performance These derbies are always good ones no matter what form the teams are in. It will be great for the fans. We got loud support at Hull FC last week and at Magic too. Hopefully, they will turn out in their droves to support us and we can get back to winning ways.We know where we have to head and hard work will take us there. We are working exceptionally hard and Saturday turned the corner for a lot of the players, but we didnt get the spoils. We have to work hard on individual performances and from that the collective will be better.Warrington meanwhile are without second-rower Ben Westwood through injury and prop Ashton Sims because of suspension which will mean a first start for Ryan Bailey, while Jordan Cox and Sam Wilde are back in the Wolves squad.
