We'll certainly have a better chance with 18 players.

I'd be happy with that side

Don't think we get away with 14 players on the pitch

Don’t worry RW&B you’ll soon be down to 11.

For me Miller and Fifita with their made up injuries would sit out

And particularly Tanginoa and Mimms who were both available for reserve grade yet chose to watch the team travel undermanned to France wouldn’t get back in at all!

We are no chance in this game with our full squad - so anyone who is a little unfit save for the leeds game - we need 2 points asap

That's a bit harsh!, as for Miller And Fifita do you know for sure they weren't injured?, or is it a guess born out of frustration and anger.

In fairness to W P he did say straight after the Hull game that the above mentioned players had taken a knock

Squad for Friday please. Not a covid thread. It'll just end up being locked.

Killjoy!

Cleaned up. Stick to the rugby thread, not covid please.

Given that Miller and Fifita had to sit out last week due to injury… have we had an update on how they are? (some people suggest Fifita has a fractured thumb)

And the worrying one for me is Tanginoa … he looked totally out of sorts against Hull and was dropped to reserve grade to build confidence… yet he’s back in the squad with no update on his well being… is he ready or we’ll we see Shaw and Aydin teaming up again ( who I thought did really well)

I don't expect Shaw to play but Aydin should.
On form Tanginoa is not as good as the other back rowers so he needs to earn his place.
Of course he could be doing that in training.
