Which reminds me of the story of Lazarus, who was raised from the dead. Anyway, nice to know that this Lazerath chap woke up.

Taking the Guardian article at face value, his chances do seem slim. If Austin is out and Charnley fit I’m guessing that Ratchford moves to the halves and Mamo to fullback.

Ive heard about us going with 1 half and a 7th forward.....but if we do, we will get more rinsed than i thought we would in the first place!! Its forcast 25 degrees Saturday and the pitch temperature will be more, for me it isnt the way to go, then again, im not sure what is.

If Ratch to 6 is considered id rather see Thewlis at full back as oppossed to Mamo.

Its going to be a very interesting squad release on Thursday!!

I expect another 21 named team...or Austin not named in the 19 then does a Radlinski.
