Cheers!

I think Lynn will play, Briscoe to centre and Radford will be left out

She aint popped it out yet but its a matter of time but i reckon he'll play.

So why put him in the squad ? Or is it to scare the Rovers players that hes playing

Pretty much a full strength side. Let's hope we don't pick up any injuries and put in a decent performance. Personally, I think we could have done with another friendly

One season-ending injury already, though.

Not to a key player though

No, but the point is that we have a very thin squad and additional play-off games increases the likelihood of those playing gettting injured. We saw this in 2008 I think when we played Huddersfield and picked up a couple of bad injuries, and as said we've seen what was effectively our HB cover, even if not a senior player, out until 2012. I wouldn't be advocating more friendlies, personally.

Think that was 2007?

I think 08 was our first season of severe discontent.

Let's not play them at all then. It's a physical game and palyers are just as likely to get injured in game 1 as they are in a friendly

It's a fine balance though, isn't it? I can see both sides of the argument, but for me the lack of depth in our squad means that 2 games is probably right.

No, it was 2008. We lost 30-22 at home to Hudds and lost three players to injury IIRC, although it meant Tom Briscoe made his debut in the opening SL game at Warrington.
