I'd imagine some of those names are bluffs, weren't there a few times last year we named injured players even though they weren't quite ready yet (I'm thinking of Fitz mainly, the guy is made of glass)? If we have that sort of side out, and the right attitude, we should beat them. Alas, I fear for tomorrow night in the context of the last few weeks.

Are King, Dufty and Ashton back from Vegas then? 

Were these the culprits of the missed flight?  Have they been dropped for disciplinary reasons? 


WTF is it with King and aeroplanes? 

Baring any fresh injury concerns prior to ko Fitzgibbon, Dufty, Ashton & King all start tomorrow.


Tai keeps his place with Lindop rested.


Sneyd makes his debut.


SB still undecided on whether to start Russell or Holroyd.

I’d keep faith in Holroyd over Russell. 
Russell's form is up and down like Kerry Katona’s knickers. 

I hope this time we can keep Fitzgibbon on the pitch for a good run of games his work on and off the ball is fantastic. 

Our best centre rested having just had a week off? Am I missing something, are we playing Batley or Saints away?

Vaughan and Dufty missed the flight, Chambers and Kyle Leuluia ended up missing it too (presumably trying to get them on another flight)

Dufty made a fool of himself in Stockton heath whilst out on the Pi$$ with Vaughan and Fitzgibbon on the Friday (2 days before wakey game) i presume this is where the disciplinary issue came from.

Maybe still feeling effects from his concussion?

Thanks for the info. I had hoped these days were behind us. I was hoping the players were taking their jet lag recovery seriously to put on a good show against Wakefield after the embarrassment in LV. Vaughan played against Wakefield so was obviously not dropped. Not bothered about sicknote having a beer as he rarely plays anyway. 




And I hear we are planning a Wigan game in Dublin game for 2026. What could go wrong?

Tai is awful. Can't we arrange some kind of swap with Salford for Mcdonald?
