Burke and C Farrell missing out.

Hope he makes the 17.

I got the impression O'Loughlin would be missing for a month or so after the Sydney game - he seemed to be running on one leg.

In todays Manchester Evening News Wane said he was approached by Lockers and Micky Mack (and other senior players) saying they wanted game time this week, otherwise he may have been tempted to make further changes.

On Matty Bowen he said Matty was being checked out by the Physios but if he couldn't train Rocky Hampshire would be in.

No Bowen…hopefully he's got hampshire playing at full back. pretty decent looking squad!

IMO he'd be crazy to play Lockers - he was running on one leg on Saturday and was still our best player. Green and Smith need to step up though - kicking game was atrocious against the Roosters...

I think we need to build a bit of confidence, so a win is vital.
cas away next week will be tough, as they will be confident and its a ground weve had issues with recently.
if lockers and micky say they need games, then believe them. if they dont know their own bodies, then who does ?

If Bitcon said "your not playing" to either they would not be selected.
