Seen lower back injury mentioned. If you watch the game back, you can see him holding his back late on in the first half.

Rest Keyes then. Lilley to halfbck and Ott onto the bench.

As long as its not Hallas at Hooker!!

Haha. I saw he was 18th man at the weekend. I like his commitment but he's behind a few now surely. If we wanted to rest Donaldson and Lawrence for instance I'd be looking at the likes of Waine, Peposhi and Mason first.

And Bailey Liu.

Think we might see a couple of changes, don’t think he will risk Keyes, maybe rest Lawerence. Agree we need Ott on the bench after Souters superhuman effort.
Maybe Waine or Liu to come in on the bench, and give Armitage a run out.

We do have good quality options, which is unheard of for us in recent times. I think Nobby will be using the squad. Ott is an obvious swap. Armitage if fit, would like to see him play. We know what Hallas is about, but Waine is possibly ahead of him.

We definitely do not need to be playing Keyes to death - we know he is susceptible to injury and we have a few options - I'm sure Nobby will be looking to rotate where possible.

I'd expect Donaldson, Lawrence, Keyes and Gill to be rested with Waine, Mason, Ott and Armitage to come in to replace them.

Id be stunned if all those players are rested as that is every ounce of leadership we have barring lilley id expect to see it more staggered

From what we've seen, London has barely even got a team at the moment. Providing we don't fall in love with ourselves after last Sunday, we should beat them quite handily.

As for changes, the whole point of having a first-team squad is to be able to rotate the team. We ought to be resting a few and bringing in Armitage, Waine, Lui and Ott. It's a long season in the Champ, plus we have the 1895 and Challenge Cups as well.

Agreed, but it's about finding that balance between keeping the squad fresh with no disruption and making too many changes that it affects fluidity and momentum.
