No rest for our threadbare squad it seems looking at Cake's selections, given the loan players not available. Another hiding in store so just hope we don't pick up anymore injuries.

No need to worry. Warrington have only selected 17 (of the 17!) from Sunday's match at Plough Lane in their 21. Plus a potential debut for (who I guess is a quota player) Rodrick Tai

I guess we will be writing off the Cup and concentrating on the League .....maybe.

I hear we are concentrating on filling the Gold Lounge.

With Lovell in the squad we’re picking players who are already carrying injuries! Asking for it really as far as picking up more injuries is concerned.

Wonder how that’s going. Anyone got any market study data showing that what people want to see is the home side outclassed badly and barely threatening the try line. In which case we may be on a winner.

I’d assumed they were in 21 but not playing. We have form for that. If not: it’s crackers. Butler and Kershaw too. We are indeed asking for trouble.

I guess that too but, oddly, I don’t think we’ll lose quite as badly as last week although I have absolutely no evidence to back that up.

I hear the British Masochist Authority are looking into a sponsorship deal they have been so impressed with our start to the season.

Nothing to worry about. Plenty of ex Skolars at a loose end. Worked out ok last time IIRC.

Yes deal all signed and sealed. Hoping to announce it and get it on shirts circa week 15.

I feel sorry for Dan Hoyes who it seems has been selected for both 1st team & Reserves. We may be short of players but that's a little tough on the lad.

Yes I noticed that. Not sure what position he plays but if he doesn’t play this week when does he?

The 21 appears a bit overloaded with backs. Although I think it's probably the only available 21, and I suspect includes players who aren't actually able to play this weekend.

I think the minimum number of forwards you can sensibly have in the match day squad is 9. I count just 9 forwards in the 21 with Jack Hughes 9th on the depth chart. I guess Joe Stocks is probably be a 10th forward. So it suggests 9 of the players (all forwards) are already known if they are fit enough. The backs could be any combo, but won't include Campagnolo.

How many reserves have Warrington named ?

Was hoping they named their Ladies or Acadamy teams to make the game more even.

Good luck lads, I'm sure you will do your best despite being well over matched.
