Has this this actually been confirmed?

Trojan is right.
Wood in at 9 and bring Wilde in to the squad, unless someone can nip down to Post Office Road and grovel to Andy Ellis.
Its like deja vu but, we could do with some inspiration

Not that i can see anywhere but perhaps the Club would want to keep this kind of key team info quite in the lead up to a key game, unlike the original poster who revealed this, i seem to remember he revelaved the Justin Poore not playing in the lead up to the Widnes game?

lol - if Wood is not up to it then why the hell is he in our squad. Same with Wildie.

Whoever plays 9, someone from the middle is going to have to step up and do some defence. We might as well have someone with experience of playing at dummy half to do the job rather than shoehorning people in.

I can only give the info that has been given to me, trust me this is usualy good info, weather its right or wrong, i will post what i have been told

If the injury is confirmed I am sure RFA will take the opportunity to tinker with his selection so as to accommodate Mellers , Lynne and Molloy who if any of them are SL level I will ate chaff. On the young Maskill suggestion, he could be a talent worth developing but it’s hard to judge when Dickens only gives him 15minutes each game preferring to play the invisible man and a lad who can’t pass before him

Perhaps people at the club need to be more careful about "sensitive" information being dished out?

as a fan, i would love to see maskill at 9 for this match. he is young and with his fathers links to both clubs, would relish the opportunity. sometimes you see players come into sides in these big (big by perceived media interest) games and their careers take off. it also shows faith in junior development.

however, this won't happen. if aiton is out, the hooker will either be wood with smith at stand off and lynn/mellars in centre or wildie with wood at stand off.

not my choice but this is what will happen.

Perhaps fans should know whats going on, we are part of the club, i for one know that most of the fans would like to know this info regarding players

Teams playing Saturday get announced tomorrow so its hardly going to be handing over unwanted news to the opposition is it ?

If Wood is WTW's second choice hooker he must surely be in the starting position if Aiton is injured.

To be completely honest i dont care if i dont find out whos playing until i turn up on match day, but i accept others like to be in the know much sooner.
Where i think this becomes an issue (or can do) is if it becomes a negative factor for the team (or a positive factor for the opposition.)
I don't think this forum is an all powerful RL go to for SL clubs or the RFL etc, but im sure people do look in weather that is directly or indirectly.
If Cas are now training towards us being without Aiton that is an advantage for them and a disadvantage for us.
If this is the case, as i suggested in my post - the club need to be more careful of who knows such info.

Dont think it was a secret that he broke is jaw, so on that i think we all know that you cannot play with this injury, but like a say he may be fine and its just what i have been told, hope i am wrong mate
