With all the injures, and players on loan. Have we enough players to get us the points over Easter period, It's is going to be a big ask.

It will be a case of how injury free we can stay on Friday, we have a very 'thin' squad and it will be tested over this weekend.

Think our backs should be fine with the addition of Evans (if he's available) Our pack might struggle on monday, almost a role reversal of our opening game with Fev when their pack was struggling.

Does anyone know who is and isn't available?

Not available Armstrong, Nash< bibey, Hunter-Paul, Mitchell, McCarthy, as far as I know and I think Goulden picked up a knock and is doubtful, I beleive Higson is available and addition to the squad Rhys

Backs pick themselves with Evans in for Armstrong.

Pack v Barrow
Hill, Duffy, Goulden,
Littler, Thornley,
Taylor,
Subs. Mills, Govin, Higson, Hopkins.

Pack v Fev
Hill, Duffy,Taylor,
Littler, Goulden,
Govin,
Subs. Mills, Nicholson, Thornley, Higson.

If Gorski isn't injured I'd imagine we'd see him feature either tomorrow or on monday

I knew I'd missed someone out

Donlan
McGilvary, Nanyn, Evans, Maden
Ridyard, Ellis
Hill, Duffy, Mills
Goulden, Taylor, Littler

Hopkins, Thornley, Govin, Higson/Gorski

Need to get on top early up front, dont allow Barrow to get on a roll. Pace from bench to finish them off

At Fev I would evaluate the knocks and rest anyone carrying one, so I expect Meekin, Nicholson, Hopkins, Gorski, Higson, Pownall to get good game time.

We dont need to beat Fev but we need to beat Barrow, and we have a long season ahead with too many injuries in the pack to take risks.

Millward says in the Reporter that no injuries were picked up and i'm sure it said in an article about Evans that he is straight in the squad for Fridays game

Good that means Tommy must be ok then
Id go with


Donlan
Maden
Evans
Nanyn
McGilvary
Riddy
Ellis
Hill
Duffs
mills
Littler
Taylor

subs Higson
Govin
Thornley
Hopkins

Same on Monday, Fev are top to stay at the top when they are on level games with us we need to beat them, but Id be happy with a bonus point as it will be a hard game, seeing they played a sneaky one and cancelled their game this week.

I've got a feeling there may be some rotation going on to keep the squad fresh. I think he'll give Nanyn tomorrow off and play him monday and rest Armstrong monday. Can see Higson getting a game over easter too along with Gorski.

Armstrong is injured

Reet, didn't know that. How long for? Still might be a good idea to rest Nanyn tomorrow for Higson then, make sure he's at full whack for Fev.

Dont know but it was stated yesterday he was injured.
