Bill in the centre and Arundel on bench for me. Crowther isn't in the 19??

Jowitt
MCB
Lyne
Tupou
BJB
Williams
Finn
England
Wood
Hirst
Batchelor
Ashurst
Sio

Arona
Huby
Arundel
Walker / Anakin depending on fitness

Decent enough team there, as long as we don't concede lots early, the bench is good enough to take advantage of some bodies that played in searing heat, drunk some ale and had 3 days less rest.

Why no Kirmond is he still injured

Tough game for us short turnaround and although we can be great like the last few games, we can also be awful like the devious 3 games, although we had a few really key players out in those games.

Even with the players you have out, you are still not easy to beat.

Important game for us with three tough away games after this and we still need 2/3 wins to finish in the top 8 to get that extra home game at the split.

I would agree with that squad. not that different to the one that went to salford and got a result. Grix was awful last week both in attack and defence so absolutely right to give young Jowitt a shot. I dont agree with this idea of selecting players out of position.

It still looks a good team but perhaps like last week we may just lack physicality against another very big team.

Crowthers not named in the squad.

Apologies...think should play fit players so Sio in at 17 for me rather than Tupou who only a few days ago was quoted as saying he doesn't know when he will be fit again due to a hamstring injury.

Sio isn't fit, playing with painkilling injections apparently.

I'd go with:

Max Jowitt
Mason Caton-Brown
Reece Lyne
Joe Arundel
Ben Jones-Bishop
Sam Williams
Liam Finn
Anthony England
Kyle Wood
Craig Huby
Matty Ashurst
James Batchelor
Tinirau Arona

Scott Grix - Gives us cover all across the back line
Keegan Hirst
Adam Walker - Providing he is fit, which I don't reckon he was last week.
Chris Annakin

To miss out:
Mikey Sio - Been playing injured and injected up for a while
Bill Tupou - the fact that he pulled out after the warm up last week makes him too big a risk for me

Knee cartilage tear, having a minor op, out for about a month, as I understand it.

Kirmond 4-6 weeks Chester just said...Fifita maybe two weeks off and Miller back for super 8's...if we can just get through these next few weeks and scrape a win or two we could be near full strength at just the right time to give it a good go!
