When and if we get all our forwards back I would like to see Rodwell play loose forward, he showed some really nice touches with the ball yesterday. DP seems to be working with the ethos of versatility so hopefully it will happen but clearly not at the moment.

Have we heard how long Gale is out for? DP in his press conference said that he had rolled his ankle, had it xrayed which showed no break.

The chance of clinching the league leaders shield should ensure a bumper crowd at The Shay on Sunday

Just getting back to the thread can’t quite see who we are resting _ seems to be we are down to naming virtually everyone of our fit players to make a squad of 17. Bigger issue is when are our established players coming back - vagana atoni lino all been out long term , uele Bowden gale been missing in recent weeks. Shaw looked like he’d picked up a bad injury yesterday.

Does anyone know when we are looking at any of the above being available ?
we are already in the playoffs and a win next week guarantees top finish now it’s all about the play off games and as fev know to their cost best team over the season doesn’t guarantee a grand final win

Good to see we can agree on ocassion too

Looking forward to a strong finish and a team firing on all cylinders come playoffs (hopefully most fit too).

I would hope if we get the LED boards done that the company could swing us a deal on an LED screen that meets standard if needed. Can’t afford to be dropping points as it could be the difference.

Curious to see if the screen was given points in last years score and if it was why not this year?

Rodwell can play 13. However for me Bain would be the obvious choice to move to 13. He has good hands and is very good defensively. He doesn’t quite offer the same post contact metres as Rodwell etc.

If it isn’t broke then don’t fix it. Rodwell is excelling at prop and personally I am very excited on seeing our rotating props next season.

Mckmeeken + Atoni

Replaced by

Uele + Rodwell

That is some serious go forward and firepower right there!

Obviously Vagana will be chomping at the bit too to force his way in.

That’s imho a top 6 SL set of props in the making.

The sooner we can get Griffin replaced with a returnee and pack rehash, the better. He's a constant liability with very little influence going forward.

Think that's a little harsh - ok he's been a little quiet recently but doesn't take long for the knives to come out does it!
Is he the latest scapegoat seeing as Lino hasn't been playing!!

From the recent games I’ve seen, the teams we’ve played for a 2nd time have learnt from the first game against them and basically put griffin out of the game by putting 2 players on that side tracking him, so he’s nut busting that first contact any more, he still make plenty of post contact meters and usually finds his front and gets a quick play of the ball

No scapegoating on Griffin, just getting fed up of his needless penalties especially as the team have generally cut right back on the errors and penalties over the last couple of games.

So it's Tommy Makinsons fault?
