TS has said that all three players are expected to return within the next two weeks (post match interview). Presumably they will be given a run in the reserves first ? If so that would be either Wigan away next week or Hull away the following week.

Surely Dodds will really strengthen our 1st 17, hopefully in time for the Salford and Catalan matches. Evans will have to fight his way back for a position whilst Ratchford will cause a real dilemma as pointed out in the other thread.

Dodds for King is the only change I'd make.

The rest I would say need to wait for someone to dip in form before getting a look in.

Nice problem to have.

The last we had this problem was back in 2011

I agree

Dodds apparently is a machine in defence not much in attack according to my Brisbane friend

For this very reason I would do away with squad numbering.
Play for your jersey, play to keep your jersey.
If you've earned the 6 shirt, you play in the 6 shirt.

Marketing

But I think he was interviewed and said he wanted to play a more attacking game over here. I suspect we will be pleasantly surprised.

Tend to agree but if they are all 'match fit' after playing a the reserve game or two I could still see Ratch back at f/b oin centre

Would you honestly mess with Gidley and Sandow at 6 and 7?

no sane person would.

they look the best HB pairing in SL

we have gone from the worst HB's to the best

Really looking forward to seeing Dodds play. Just after we'd signed him, I went on to the Broncos site and their fans seemed to rate him. When fit he was always in their first 17. Garbutt for Leeds was never in the Broncos first 17 but he's made a good impact already in SL so hopefully it'll bode well for us.

I don't want to be too positive about anything though as our gypsy friends in St Helens might think we're being arrogant.

Defo not. A lovely balance of flair and astuteness. Wouldn't swap our hb partnership with anyone else.

So he was right then
