I may have mis heard but didn't he also add that they would be assessed and checked near the time. Wouldn't be too surprised to see JJB entering the arena of the WCC. Would be a good lift and a natural leader which would be much needed

NQ's back five isn't all that, but then they line up

Thurston, Morgan
Scott, Granville, Tamou
Cooper, Lowe,
Taumalolo

and that's pretty frightening.

If so...then this match is surely not worth the risk for bringing back Faloon. It is after all purely a 'friendly' albeit with some kudos to the players. IMO it really is not worth jeopardising the better longer term benefits of having our first choice hooker properly fit and able.

Having Burrow at hooker for this one will lose us the game of course, but just think what valuable experience it will give to the likes of Lilley playing against Thurston.

I hope we give it a good shot, but let's not risk longer term injury to any player crucial, or even critical, to the team's better prospects of building some league points. Leave them out of this one.

"We will have a look at Beau Falloon but he was going to be in a boot for another 10 days at least so if we do play him it would be a risk. And Stevie Ward is nowhere near."

So really the only one really confirmed out is stevie ward. The 3 today could also still play at this point as well

Who is the hooker at Feverstone? Could Leeds bring them in on dual registration for NQC?

Damn, what a story that would be!

Having watched all 3 superleague teams this weekend involved in the wcc I hope the wcc is not going to be squashed before it gets started

Or we could play the game before the SL fixtures start so we don't have any excuse to save ourselves the week before.

They will all play bar the seriously injured. next week has always been the focus since the end of last season.

Agree. There was some woeful stuff today. I hope and expect there should be a reaction in how we defend. However, attack is so all over the shop we would need one of the greatest turnarounds in club history to get enough points to win

If the injured lads aren't available i'd go with..
Hardaker
Handley
Watkins
Moon
Hall
Sutty
Lilley
Galloway
Burrow
Garbutt
Ferres
Delaney
Cuthbertson

Singo
Mullally
Baldwinson
Keinhorst

I think your right we have to for size otherwise our halves and backs will have no breathing room
Also I know it wont be a popular opinion but in our own half I would keep it pretty simple, only spread the ball when its definitely on and limit offloads, we should play like Barcelona- keep in structure until the final third
I dread to think what JT with do if we give him the field position we gave widnes today

Agree with this except I'd play Achruch over Baldwinson.

with your injuries you will not win this weekend but it is too early in the season to write it off
