No doubt fit, and no doubt fast - but quite likely match rusty, and whilst you could put a case forward for either Higson or Dawson to be rested it's too much of a risk for me.

Maybe next week against wire when the expectations are less

I totally agree Col,with what you say,anything can still happen nothing is written in stone,it's just I think the MPG awaits us and I hope it will be at the LSV.

Although, given recent performances, Perpignan might be a good option!

Stupid he is, I wouldnt dipute that however, four months for what he did is wholly unjust!
That great 'kidolloger' (just made that word up ) Greg Bird has commited an horrendous Spear tackle on Fax's Ben Heaton! I dont know if Heaton was injured however, Bird is on a Grade 'D' charge and, he was sinbinned too! (You'll remember Acton wasn't sinbinned).
If you look at Acton's and Birds challenges, which do you think is the worst? I appreciate both could have had potentially serious outcomes! My question is, will they both receive the same punnishment?

Call it a 'civilised' draw between to mature men then
