Addy/Donaldson

Bateman and either Addy or Donaldson not used.
No point risking Bateman. I'm not buying this 'Sam Wood can't play 80 minutes' rubbish, he's been playing the full 80 every week this season for the U19's. Sunday's game will not have the intensity of a SL match, and his fitness levels will be fine.
I would also play Sammut and Gale for the full 80. This will be the first week where we can play our first choice pairing of half backs for an entire game - give them as much time to gel as possible.

The only other possible change would be to play both Addy AND Donaldson and give Chev a rest instead. We need him fit for as much of the season as possible, he's one of the more injury prone players in the squad and it might not really be worth the risk playing him.

It's frightening how small our squad is. We'd have been struggling to put a team out at this stage of the season with the injuries.

Suspect it may be played like the pre-season games with Dewsbury and we start with a strong side and finish up with some of the younger players. Without wanting to be disrespectful we need to crack on early doors and put the result to bed and then we can rest some of the regular guys, who quite frankly, with the injuries and small squad situation, could do with some time off the pitch.

I'd definitely rest two out of Manuokafoa, Sammut and Whitehead. I also see no problem with Wood doing 80 minutes.
