Newman? Thought he failed HIA at Cas, if so he's out of contention for the squad this week.

Two weakened packs ++. Will probably suite us more, allow back line to play…..

He didn't have a HIA. He got a badly cut lip that required stitches

The RFL amended the law re head clashes to initial contact after Nu Brown, so Sangare’s now fits that criteria. Surprised there wasn’t an additional game added because Sangare’s head was over a certain weight/circumference thus adding to the force of contact.

Those threatening legal action against the governing body have a lot to answer for.

Most teams play an extra forward usually a prop at 13 what do you see in Frawley that meets the loose forward role?

Actually I was wrong. Apparently we've been able to release Wood from his loan at the Bulls so we have one player back.

If 3 of our bench looks something like O`Connor, Sinfield, Donaldson then that has got to be one of lightest bench for some time.
I would definitely look at getting Ruan back for this one just like Warrington have done with Wood and that`s even if we get the Smith ban overturned.

Bench would be more like Lisone, Goudemand, Donaldson then maybe a back if Smith ban stands.

Holroyd will be back

Smiths appeal succeeded. He plays.

Just confirms what a total embarrassment the MRP is.

That’s quite significant because it makes our first 13 and bench stronger.

For me we should consider starting Lisone with Mik and get at Warrington early.
