and missed the warm up games so dont think we will see him play sl this season, same goes for jared simpson

but lets hope we do! then again if they do it may be because we have injury problems so maybe not

19 man squad named
It's interesting for sure

no obrien probably the only one you would have thought would be in the 19 who isnt, maybe he didnt do enough in his pre season games, in the 2 i saw he was pretty poor, leeming can play big minutes at hooker anyway, seems like hincy will be doing abit of hooking again too!!

i can see the team as

mcintosh

mcgillvary
cudjoe
mellor
murphy

brough
brierley
leeming

lawrence
hinchcliffe
symonds
taai
ikahihifo

bench-
ferguson
wakeman
roberts
clough


smith and gaskell to miss out


no rapira again

bit of a worry

Gaskell got a different hamstring injury than he had before, has trained a bit this week

McIntosh
McGilvery
Cudjoe
Mellor
Murphy
Brough
Brierley
Wakeman
Hinchliffe
Smith
Symonds
Taai
Lawrence

bench Leeming, Clough, Ferguson lkahihifo.

Gaskell and Roberts to miss out.

doubt smith will play prop, hes been played at loose forward in pre season

taai was great at prop at warrington so think he will continue there as hes not needed in the 2nd row where we have plenty options

No mason or rapira- light up front.

Must have missed this,when did Sammy pick up the injury? An important player for us - a grafter.

Anyone know what rapira injury is please ?

Rickster mentions other injured players and their possible recovery time but no mention of Sam.Hope he's not been a naughty boy.

Maybe just gonna leave him off this week maybe?

Maybe.

Would have been one of the first names on my team sheet though.

Arguing about the merits of players already
