I have heard that the club are appealing on the context of other bans for much worse getting a two match suspension. I personally think they have a point with that and won’t be surprised if it is reduced to one. I can see this becoming the norm as an automatic one match suspension.

Really would like to see Smith starting this one, on the basis of his performances but also as Mik is missing from the rotation and we seem to have enough grunt down the middle but Smith adds more dynamism so we're not one dimensional. Missing Gale as a pair of hands also another reason.

You’ve named Sutcliffe at centre and half back

We should have been starting Smith weeks ago so we could rotate 4 props and rest one.

Yeah agreed mate. We must start Smith for this game and push Tet into rotation with the props. I'd be playing Vuniyayawa there too, he should be fresh.

Losing Mik is a real blow for our hopes of getting into play offs and doing anything this year IMO. We'll need to be smart to compensate for him.

Spot on Jim.
Tet should be in the prop rotation - and not just left on until he can hardly breathe...
King should be given minutes.
And Smith should be 13.

Said since he came that Zanes best impact would be as an out and out prop.

Start prior and Holroyd bring zane and King off the bench.

I'd go for something like this

I would be tempted to rest/ drop T.Briscoe played a lot of rugby thus year and his brain fart in last 5 mins against wire is worthy of him sitting out for a week and out L.Briscoe on wing.

We do have good options up front if we just use them. We're going to have to find a way to operate without Mik, who is not only very good but also tends to do long stints.

Gannon, Walters, O'Connor can all cover back row well alongside Thompson, Donaldson, Martin, Smith.

I guess we'll have Sutcliffe on the left and Lui on the right for this one. Will be amazed if Gale plays.

Would like to see Gannon, Walters or O'Connor on the bench to be honest, they're all good players already.

Gale won`t play against Cas but ban reduced to 1 game about right.

This is the Trueman that thinks covid is a bit of a cold ,he's only got a bit of back ache,......man up.

Thats what I would go with Oledski is a big miss and if we do make play offs his size and what he brings in physicality is crucial to us against the best teams
