Right then Penky, the floors yours, 80 minute man, show us what you can do.

Although it's a risk , what the injuries mean , it does open the door for miles greenwood to feature again. If he plays in the match on Saturday or the 9s , then he's very much back in the coaches' plans especially if worrincy is still not fit.

Seanfax - why am I not playing in your nines squad? Could do with an agression outlet!

plz read team again,,,lol

The though tof Cov and Ned streaking down the wings . . . . . . . GREEEEAAAAAT

The thought of them streaking fullstop...........!!!!!

Put Miles in for Toulouse and for the 9s and he should be well on the way for the Fev game.

Goddard seems to have rotten luck for Fax, he had a great start to his Fax career, dominating Israel Folau down the Shay but has always had injuries which has hampered his progress. He was argubly having his best spell in a Fax shirt and he gets injured once again. Didn't he narrowly miss the GF last year as well?

Beswick is a massive loss. He never gets the credit he deserves and it will be a case of people only noticing him when he is missing. He tackles his blood to water and brings the play forward out of dummy half brilliantly.

A speedy and proper recovery to them both.

Yes I'm almost sure he missed out because I remember Roberts filling in for him. He certainly doesn't have the greatest of luck when it comes to injuries.

Couldn't agree more. Grafter in defense and a quality hooker. We'll miss him and Glees the most in the final run-in.

OH DEAR! NOT MANY OUSIDE BACKS LEFT THERE....WE ARE GONING TO HAVE NO CHOISE TO PLAY PEOLPE OUT OF POSITION.

I WOULD STICK MILES IN AGAINST TOULOUSE, SEE HOW HE COMES THROUGH. ITS A GAMBLE BUT ONE I THINK WE HAVE BEEN FORCED INTO TAKING

IF IT PAYS OFF AND COMES HTROUGH UNINJURED, HE HAS THE 9'S TO GET MORE MATCH FITNESS BEFORE THE SEMI.....ESPECIALLY IF SHADS CARRYING AN INJURY ASWELL.

Worrincy
Haley
Miles
Goddard

I'd say 4 first team regulars missing there so yes I'd say we are down to our bare bones, and Pats is more a winger then centre HENCE only playing a handful of games at centre so yes I'd say he would be playing out of position.

IV ALWAYS THOUGHT SAID COULD DO A JOB IN THE CENTRE.....HE CHUCKS A DECENT BALL FOR A PROP. WOULD DOMINATE IN DEFENCE AND GOING FORWARD HE'D DO OK

bannister would be my tip for centre, defensively very strong and a good strong runner, with good hands. the way we play the centres are not crucial attack wise. im much more concerned about the hooking role asking penky to play 80mins will hinder his ability to be as influential, i think we may see branno have a spell at 9 to give penky a breather leaving holly and black at the halves.

I could run with that

I'm sure Bannister has played centre before so atick him in. What about Bowman at hooker or even spelling for a time and maybe Black.

But to be honest it's a nightmare and much as I'm looking forward to the 9's I'm starting to think they are a distraction we could do without unless we can use it to get game time for somebody who has n't played much (Miles hopefully).
