Think we should be giving martin a run out, if we lose a prop before the season starts he is going to have to step up.

We have Snitch, Massey, Nash, Davies who can all play front row.

Jackson, Millington, Walker will all be back some time in Feb.

When is huby back?

About April according to Basil

Never really thought of davies as a prop, are those official return dates from the club? will be a lot a happier if they will all be back in feb.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that both sides are only playing 17. Might be wrong on that.

If its supposed to be treated like a superleague fixture then it would make sense to do this to get the forwards used to possible longer spells in the field. This is probably going to have a significant affect on most teams this year.

From a wakey point of view, Agar should be treating this like a SL game, he's had a good enough look at the squad and will have a good idea who will be in the 17/18 for Widnes, i would assume Mildred will be the same.
The one thing that puts me off friendlies is the size of the squads, no player is on more than twenty minutes without being subbed or changed position.
I appreciate the need for it all, but it makes for a poor spectacle with little or no intensity IMO.
That said I will be keeping my money in my pocket for when it really matters.

Ferres, Thompson, Holmes, Mitchell, Jones, McGoldrick and Davies in back row.

Can't make the game, anyone know if it's on the radio

According to some prat on the Wakey board Rangi was given a master class by Smith today.lol

Well, Rangi certainly didn't get involved as he normally does.
