Doyle, Nicotemo, and Lingard are all named in the reserves to play Huddersfield. So I think It's between Myers and Rourke for the wing and 18th man and Matty Storton will make his comeback either in the second row or off the bench. But we look loads stronger, fingers crossed we're to perform this week.

Looks like Vagana and Storton will interchange then - be interesting to see who'll start. Buzzing for Storton, and now all those guys are back our bench is formidable:

Jowitt, Walmsley, Hall, Scott, Myers/Rourke, Trueman, Lino, McMeeken, Smith, Uele, Griffin, Storton, Pitts. Hood, Atoni, Fa'atili, Vagana.

Side pretty much picks itself. 

I can see Griffin and Vagana starting. Storton, Atoni and Faatili I think will make up a big bench. 

Would feel more confident with Tom in, but with Jake back and  much healthier in the forwards I'm very hopeful.

It's the Myers or Rourke decision that's the hard one.


At hooker I prefer Hood starting and taking the heat with Mike and Caleb with Caius and Smith making an impact. And now Atoni too as he has a good offload game.

Rourke is 18th man

God it’s good to have some of our big boys back.  Uele has got to be one of the best front rowers in SL, he’s so good. 

Brilliant 70 minute performance from the guys....Myers went well in the first half, Lino and Trueman totally outshone Lolohea and Frawley and Griffin's try was outrageous.


Will be surprised if Vagana doesn't pick up a ban for that tip-tackle though (even though English clearly put his own head on the floor !!)

The pack was awesome ,that ment the spine played on the front foot  ,Big game  Thursday should be biggest gate of season Am I right in thinking if we have no injury problems or suspension ,and  we get Prat back ,it will be very near to the full tam

Agree with you alegend. What a difference to see a bench with 2 props , a 2nd row and hooker. 
The front row took complete control of the game from about 15 minutes in. and laid the perfect platform for the 6 + 7. Again Mason had a good kicking and playmaking game but Jake Trueman was pure class in his passing game. No wonder DP wants on the pitch whenever he`s fit.
Well played to all the team a great performance. Also to the support from the Wakey 19th man who drowned out the vain attempts from the giants fans.

A really strong team performance last night, sketchy in patches and a bit of composure missing in the second half. Had we completed our sets in the second half I believe the score would have been bigger.
That said it was a great opportunity to get some players back and getting minutes in the tank.


Standout for me was Trueman what a rugby brain he has, I cannot think of a player at the moment who seems to have so much time with the ball and almost everything picks the perfect pass. His attack kicks last night off his left boot were excellent. When he is fit boy do we look good with him in the spine. Max was great at the back and Lino had a good game. All the forwards played well and dominated.

An interesting stat popped up on the Sky coverage. It said we've missed the least amount of tackles so far this season.
