I’m wondering if arona will play 10 Friday.

Although he’s not featured in any of the friendlies he’s been by all accounts involved in full contact training for a couple of weeks.

Bit disappointing to go into opening couple of games minus fafita & green. Add to it the loss of king and we look very short upfront if arona doesn’t play. To be missing 3 of your first choice 4 props is unfortunate.

If walker is out we have adequate cover in Hampshire and jowitt.

Unsure if crowther would have made the first 17; but we have plenty of options in back row at minute anyway.

Gwaze from what I have seen is a number of years from been a super league prop. I wouldn’t really want to be seeing him play this season.

Let’s hope kopczak doesn’t pick an injury up in first couple of games.

I'm not bagging the lad, he's filled in and done a decent job and I think he can be a good SL winger. He's just not a safe pair of hands to be starting at the minute for me and he's done nothing to change my mind in the preseason.

Can't seem to see where he's posted on the subject. You seem however to be agreeing with me quite a lot these days, something that does nothing for mine or anyone elses credibility.

All depends for me on Miller's fitness

Jowitt
Johnstone
Tupou
Lyne
Atkins
Hampshire
Brough
Kopzcak
J Wood
Gwaze
Ashurst
Tanginoa
Westerman

K Wood (off the bench against a tiring defence)
Navarette
Pitts (could do a job at prop if needed)
Tangata/Batchelor/Kirmond/Arona (whichever one is fittest)

To be honest Milky has had no game time so I think I'd leave him out even if he is fit but you could slot him in at 6 and either move Hampshire to FB or leave him out

It’s the first time I’ve agreed with you this year vastman in fairness

When you make a sensible post which isn’t vindictive or childish and I agree with it.....
I am more than happy to positively endorse said comments

Chessie said milky would be fit on trin tv
