Houghton out for us would be a blessing. Lovodua offers far more in attack. Think we have lost Wynne for the match on Thursday so currently missing McIntosh, Tuimavave, Scott, Wynne, Gale, Taylor, Ma'u, Cator. Not sure who we use in the centres as we only have Griffin left fit. Maybe young Marcus Walker

Likewise Leeming out for us. Johnson need to be starting games by end of the season. Our other two hookers have shocking distribution and make wrong decisions at key moments.

Where is good to drink before the game? My mate is taking his son to his first away game so looking for somewhere to go pre-game. The Oak still open?

Yes.

Original Oak
Skyrack
And there’s a big new Wetherspoons open just up the road if that’s your thing.

Cameron Smith and Kruise Leeming banned for the game.

Leeming grade B 1 match ban

Cameron Smith grade B 1 match ban

Fisitua grade A no ban

I think Smith is unlucky

Max Jowett gets 2 matches for the knees to the head

Walker
Fusitua Briscoe Sutcliffe Handley
Austin Sezer
Oledzki Johnson Prior
Martin Gannon
O’Connor

Dwyer Thompson Tetevano Mustapha

Broadbent Tindall Newman Simpson

I think Leeming's is harsh given to the best of my knowledge he has no past disciplinary issues and given it was certainly no worse than Currie's. Why did he receive a yellow and not a red if it was such a horrendous tackle? At least Johnson hopefully gets a chance and starts the game.

Smith's I would have to review again but I did not believe he had placed his bodyweight on the Wakie player. I think Fusitua is quite lucky to be fair as I felt his was the worst offence.

Can we recall O'Connor?

Bentley would have been available but for the ridiculous appeal

DR so we can select him

I think most of you on this site are harsh when it comes to our hookers. Fans of most other clubs would be more than happy to have two like Leeming and Dwyer.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion but many on here are blinkered. Are they the very best maybe not but as a pair they are up there.
Come on and let’s get behind the whole team.

not being able to pass the ball accurately and consistently to the first receiver is a skill i cant forgive a 9 for not possessing at this level of the game.
