both hand and foster been going great guns for haven

I just get the feeling these 2 will have a big impact on the game tomorrow.

Do you think that Mase can back up after fridays game, seemed to be on for long spells ?

If we treat him like Feka, and only expect 20 minutes a game, we will end up with Feka mrk II, if we treat him like the player he can be, I'm sure he can recapture his NRL form. Every single player should be able to back up if absolutely required - it's always the game after Easter where standards drop and players are tired.

As a side note, Mose was clutching his ankle during the jordan turner no try, and he did vs Leeds as well, so it's clearly still bothering him (whether psychologically or physically only the physios can say) - playing is the only way to get over it

He will be very much used in shorter spells with Sav I should imagine, the other fresher younger forwards to do the bulk of the work

Back to back defeats with that squad I'm afraid!

With this squad we'll get more passion than friday. Savelio is awesome, in my humble opinon ready for more regular first team action now

I agree. The cc draw not done us any favours. If we'd got a team like Hunslet then I'd imagine we'd put a strong team out and rest a few the following week.

Squad has been updated. Jordan Turner, Mark Flanagan and Lewis Charnock have also been withdrawn with Sia Soliola, Paul Wellens and James Tilley now included.

Squad is now:
2. Tommy Makinson, 4. Josh Jones, 6. Lance Hohaia, 8. Mose Masoe, 10. Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook, 11. Sia Soliola, 12. Jon Wilkin, 17. Paul Wellens, 23. Joe Greenwood, 24. Gary Wheeler, 25. Anthony Walker, 26. Matty Dawson, 28. Luke Thompson, 29. Jordan Hand, 30. Carl Forster, 31. James Tilley, 33. Andre Savelio, 36. Matty Fozard, 37. Lewis Galbraith.

So something like;
2. Makinson
37. Galbraith
24. Wheeler
4. Jones
26. Dawson
17. Wellens
12. Wilkin

8. Masoe
6. Hohaia
25. Walker
23. Greenwood
28. Thompson
11. Soliola

Subs:
10. LMS
30. Forster
33. Savelio
31. Tilley

For turner and Flanaghan - but charnock can't be carrying a knock surely? Grave concerns were gonna see wellens return to 1 now...

Makinson
Galbraith Wheeler Jones Dawson
Wellens Hohaia
Masoe Fozard Forster
Wilkin Greenwood
Walker

LMS Hand Savelio Soliola

Running low on numbers now...

Makinson
Galbraith
Wheeler
Jones
Dawson
Wellens
Wilkin
Walker
Hohaia
Forster
Thompson
Greenwood
LMS

Masoe
Savelio
Soliola
Tilley

Not looking too good for tomorrow. We'll just have to hope that the Widnes players are tired as they seem to be close to full strength. I know we do have to rest players for the Leeds game but we don't exactly want to build up any negative momentum.... I'd have picked a slightly more balanced side I think.

The other consideration is of course the widnes iPitch - the last thing we need is to pick up 10 first choice players picking up knocks before Leeds.

There are the players in that team to win the game, widnes are on their own bad run of form, we just need to not give them easy opportunities (especially in the first minute)
