Rathcford looks to be back in the 17. If so put J Clarke to 2nd row and Austin to 13.

It is great news that fans are being allowed back in and things look like they're heading back towards normality.

Tough game Monday they're improving and Watson has made a habit of winning games against us. I'd like a bit more attacking threat but as you say a more conservative forward swap (I'd never thought of J Clarke) would also work like for like.

Enjoy the game

It's crazy how we just get random disciplinary issues pop up with nothing standing out from the games, meanwhile other teams are doing allsorts and get nothing. I'm sure Westwood got banned last week for dangerous contact just for bant.

I see Sita has got one match ban for dangerous contact with the legs . There must be a parallel disciplinary universe for some clubs.

I think it's certain players to be honest, sita and Lineham seem to cop a lot of bans and more severe bans when players at other clubs get less or nothing for similar offences! Hill is another that refs love to penalise (he does deserve it a lot of the time) he has a reputation for niggling and refs seem to want to ping him for it at some point in every game when others get away with the same all match.

If certain players of ours other than Ratchford had incredibly summoned superhuman strength and thrown Kenny Edwards in a somersault one armed we would have been down to 12 for sure. Sita would have been off and probably copped a 12 match ban!

Was there any word on Sky about Hill? He had to be lead from the field with what looked to be a head knock. If he failed his HIA then, with a short turnaround, we may be down another front rower for the Cas game.
