As well as Connor has done at full back the sensible thing to do would be to move him to centre and bring Wynne in, so assuming Carlos, Scott and Bowden are missing I'd go for this team at Leigh

Wynne, Faraimo, Connor, Fonua, Swift, Reynolds, Sneyd, Satae, Houghton, Sao, Savelio, Ma'u, Lane

Fash, Brown, Johnstone, McNamara

Tough times as from our 28 man squad we pretty much down to 18 or 19 fit players and the ones above the only ones with first team experience,

Reading Hodgsons comments on the HDM it sounds like he is expecting all of Carlos, Scott and Bowden to miss some games.

Certainly doesn't sound good and hope things aren't as bad as first thought once they've all been fully assessed. It would be a real shame for Scott if he is out for an extended period as I thought it was his strongest performance to date.

Moving our main creator, into the centres, would greatly reduce our attacking threat, and cause disruption to the spine .
Maybe play Faraimo at centre and Wynne on the wing or vice versa..
Hopefully, the injuries suffered to Tuimavave & Scott are short term.

I agree, he looks to have developed into a really powerful carrier of the ball. He's been waiting patiently for a run in the side so it will be horrible luck if he is out for an extended period.
Its an AC joint injury by the sounds of it but I have no clue what sort of layoff that usually is.

Worst case scenario we could see something like:
Swift
Wynne
Fonua
Connor
Faraimo
Houghton
MacNamara

With Vulikijapani on the bench.

Personally I'd keep Connor at FB and play Wynne at Centre, minimum disruption.

Who else can play centre? Davy Litten has trained with the first team. Lane. Faraimo has played there for the USA. And Yeamo is still at the club...

Powerful performance last night, after a very low key opening , we really need to get Big Chris signed up, he was again like a rampaging bull, Cas could not control him, after the heartbreaking result against Saints we rallied to destroy an injury hit Cas side.

The mercurial Connor was outstanding after his leaden footed beginning, he may not be the best full back in the league, but he’s the best we are going to have, once again get his signature.

Not getting carried away, as with such a weakened opposition, we did what was required, big performances from Mahe, and Jordan Lane, Mahe has always been a better centre than wing, and Jordan Lane for such a young man, is turning in some consistency which leaves it impossible to leave him out.

Sneyd gets some stick, but without him we are a poorer team, anyone who’s seen him destroy the Catalan, and Wigan with that boot of his knows that, but like all good halves, he needs a good front row to capitalise on, without Tag, Bowden, Massi, the loss of Paea who never really got replaced, the last two or so years have been tough for any of our halves, occasionally like last night with Chris and Liggi dominating, Sneyd was driving us on, like Jake, Sneyd isn’t the best, and he has his limitations, but we would struggle without him.

Great to be back in an incredible atmosphere, Radders looking ten years younger.
I’m sure our friends at the disciplinary will further our problems, Leigh up next in another tricky game.

1 - 6 weeks depending on severity.

Scott might have the slimmest of slim chance of playing against Leigh.

Hope we don’t cop any bans? Sure the RFL will be looking at the Sneyd tackle and possibly Grub’s attempted tackle which he got penalised for?

In addition to last night’s fresh injuries, Grub looks like he’s still carrying his injury. Started the game heavily strapped up and was limping at times during the game.

I think Josh is a tough cookie and gets on with it, however that leg is not going to clear up if he’s playing every week and at this rate he’s unlikely to get chance to rest it.

Satae dominated Watts last night, not many forwards do that, in fact you could tell Watts had enough as he started to play more like a halfback then a prop (Although he set up more trys than their halfbacks)

I think Cas are well and truly caught in the cup final trap, Losing Watts or Macca would seriously dent any chance of cup glory,

I agree Dave, big Chris lost nothing in comparison to Watts, or indeed Walmsley last week. I really hope we can agree terms with him.

Thought Brad Fash was all over their forwards like a rash last night. If he had the height and weight he’d be the best forward in the league.

Fash made 126m that must be a record for him.

if they charge them for that then they must do the same for cas' number 3 M'atautuia, off the ball challenge on Scott after he had released the ball causing an injury
