I’d have quite fancied us, but the injuries are ridiculous already

With Hudds Tipped to finish in the bottom half like us we really need to pick up the points in this game ,
We need to get some players back but atm it's not looking good .

Carty said it’s a Must Win game and finally we have a coach saying this !

It is a Must win because 2 points is as vital in week 3 as in week 20 as they count the same

The team with the least mistakes will win and likely the highest completion rate will also have the least mistakes and penalties etc

We have enough to win but who knows what happens

If Ashworth and Asiata are out on top of the others missing in the forwards just don’t see how we could field a competitive pack to win this game.

Very 50/50 game this, both teams will fancy a win, hard to say until we see the squad, hopefully have the two DSJ mentioned available.

If they are out, cannot see a win at all.

Maybe a extra body in.

Moy has to be in, too good not to be in with the players we have out, bringing him in, strengthens the centre and backrow too.

Looking like 6 weeks for Hardaker. Agree with Dave about bringing Moy in and moving Rapana to centre.
Not ideal but i'd rather have Chamberlin second row than Fash.

Best case scenario

Moy
Barron
Rapana
Briscoe
Martin
Cust
Sezee
Ese Ese
Borough
Aydin
Lane
Ashworth
Asaita

Fash
Salabio
Chamberlain
Balmforth

Been told we wont see Moy for another couple weeks with injury.

Four big games ahead in the league, three of which I see as ones we should be winning. I must admit I do worry that we seem to be struggling with the same injury problems already.

I posted a while ago about the clear injury risk of signing over 30s
We didn’t have to wait long

Goodness me I hope we can field a pack that can get Sezer and Cust and Balmforth on the front foot

I agree it's a concern and not an ideal start in terms of luck on the injury front however I see NOTHING from Huddersfield to suggest we can't bag 2 points against them and with Borouh and Ashworth likely to be back I'm quietly confident. Moy wouldn't be playing anyway so can see us carrying on with same backline that played against Wigan unless we bring in a wildcard on loan or something

If Moy is injured so we need to keep Rapana at full back I would seriously consider giving Westerman a shot in the centres. Huddersfield are one of the weaker teams in the league so arguably a good time to give him a shot. Hopefully it doesn't need to be for a prolonged period of time but I'd rather see him in the centre and Chamberlain at second row than keeping Fash at second row.
Alternatively give Kirby a shot again. He showed up fairly well against Salford last season and looked solid defensively.
