Is cox injured? Or does Smith just think King is the better option?

Very nervous about this one. Tough given our missing players and their form.

I'm not sure, I think I would have had both on the bench (if he is fit of course) and not bothered with wheeler. We still have a good team out, it should be a good game.

I had a feeling that Cox might lose his place. If you watch the video chat between him and Ormesby this week, there was a light hearted mention about Cox's work rate (or lack of) over the last couple of weeks. But his stats don't stand out as anything special, and I didn't notice him do much against Wakefield. I like the guy though, and he looked impressive pre-season, so I hope he can win a place back in the side.

Apologies - TS just said on Sky that Cox pulled out due to illness.
