Walker, Briscoe, Newman, Hurrell, Handley, Lui, Myler, Seumanufagai, Lunt, Cuthbertson, Martin, Ferres, Merrin

Dwyer, Oledzki, Peteru, Sutcliffe

Donaldson
JJB

I'd go Sutcliffe in for Ferres with Donaldson replacing him on the bench

Walker and Hurrell in foot braces so both may not make it

Cant see both Ava and Martin starting if they dont land til Wednesday. I actually think Martin will be used as an impact sub for the rest of the season.

Lunt was in a boot yesterday so might not be ready for Fri. As others have said tho he needs to start and Dwyer on bench. Again to add impact.

Agar confirmed that Lunt, Seumanufagai, JJB will be available in the YEP, likely that Martin will be involved as he’s fit and ready. Peteru could play, Walker and Hurrell doubts.

Walker is very injury prone... both him and Hurrell would be huge losses. Cant see us winning without

Be interesting what we do for backup FB with Tui gone, if we need one. Probably Sutcliffe?

They may be forced to actually give Golding a start in a league game this season.

Yeah maybe Golding. Would imagine Ava takes Albert’s place and Martin may be on the bench.

Hopefully Golding as we cant keep moving Sutty around so much. How the hell is he meant to improve if hes playing second row one week stand off the next then full back the next...

Walker's missed a lot of games over 2 years. We need a better reserve than hoping Sutcliffe or Newman can fill in - its too specialised for that. I'd keep Golding if we don't have another specialist.

You do realise that Golding has been unvailable injured for more matches over the last two years?
