rlBrown out up to 6 weeksrl

rlFooey fitrl

LO'D???

we fell apart when brown was injured a few seasons back but we didnt have brough then

great faiumu is back, changes games this guy and can interchange with robinson

LOD and fa'alogo out

You do all know that Scabby Cat is a Wakey fan dont you?

Doof and LOD BOTH injured ...again !!!

thats lost us a bit of grunt

Time for others step up. We have the largest squad in sl and we'll now see if Nathans early season tinkering and giving everyone a chance to play will pay dividends.

rlNo Doof or LO'D for the Sunday and potentially longer.rl

I'll be very surprised if we don't see Kirmond and Raleigh back in the side this week.

prepare to be very suprised.... no use having a big squad if you dont use it.

From my usual reliable source. Team is to be....

Grix
Jerry wardle gilly hodgy
Leroy
Brough
Griff robbo Keith
Larne Bruno
Ferguson

Subs
Fooey, eorl, kirmond, wood,

Why on earth would we play Wood in a match like this ?? Why would we play our usual no 11 Gilly in the centre and play a lightweight Bruno in the pack when he's really a centre ?? Its a small field where we were outmuscled at Cas back in February so why would we play Wood when Fooeys on the bench as back up hooker/forward ?? Surely we would play Raleigh or Horne? This will be an arm wrestle where you would go with 4 forwards on the bench ?? The ONLY answer would be that Brough, Robbo and/or Fooey aren't 100%!!!! and we might need a half back/hooker so Wood is risk management !!! When he's on the bench we play him 10/15 minutes where either of the others would play at least 20 it would verge on madness or brilliance my guess would be the former....

I can see why he's done it because Robbo was struggling apparently, Brough may have been sore after his first game back and Fooey is in his first back after injury. I don't necessarily agree with it though.

The forwards need to really aim up this week, big time.

I think wood has been pretty solid in the games he has played tbf, but Nathan is right to put him on the bench, we usually can swap round on the field with injuries but if say Leroy got injured we'd be stuck if we only had forwards. Gilly has been given the squad number 4 with the intention of him playing centre and when he played there at kr on a small pitch he had one of his best games. For me fooey is better at loose and with Robbo and wood it gives him opportunity to play there. Having said that I would have played Andy Raleigh to stick a rocket up the backside of our recently sluggish forwards.
