Wouldn't surprise me if Ma'u played. I bumped in to him last week and he said he was hoping to be fit for the derby.

Our season gets shorter every year...finished by the start of July this year...roll on 2023!

Was the record derby defeat that one where Kelly absolutely mugged them off in the second half at Easter? This is their payback with interest moment. I feel sick

We have an injury crisis of epic proportions every season it seems.

Surely our training, pre season and conditioning needs looking at to see if anythings amiss.

Totally missed that. I'd probably zoned out.

Like you i would play Barron on the wing and move McIntosh to centre where he has played well when needed
Move Wynne back to centre .Griffin is hiding in the centre and at least if he is on the wing we can give him more work coming out of backfield.

I still have Hull as favourites despite the bans, due to Gale, McNamara and Mau returning.

That could change during the week depending on any loan deals done and players declared fit by either team.

Can't see it being a classic though.

Nice try

What an absolute farce the game of RL is becoming. The bans are getting beyond a joke especially Ligi who did little different to players that kick their legs up to try and get a quick ptb yet Austin throws himself on the floor to try and win a penalty. Moore saw nothing wrong and key play go on yet Sao gets a retrospective ban. Can’t honestly remember seeing anything untoward from Evans or Johnstone for that matter certainly not to warrant 2 games. Possibly opportunity for Severs, Stavely and Burrell.

So the RFL with their magic spectacle is now looking like it’s going to be an embarrassing closing game due to injuries and unwarranted suspensions.

No wonder this once great game is on its and dying before our eyes.

I'm deadly serious. How will you line up?

Shaul
Wynne
Lovodua
Griffin
McIntosh
McNamara
Gale
Satae
Houghton
Taylor
Lane
Mau
Fash

Balmforth
Burrell
Bowden
Brown.

That's not far off full strength as far as I can see, challenge cup winners Shaul and Bowden filling a couple of gaps. You've beaten us before with weaker teams!
