Yep sadly think I would have to agree.

Shaul in at FB for me this weekend and then look at giving Litten an opportunity during the coming weeks.

Yup, one player out and our season is done for. Its pretty pathetic really.

Lack of creativity in this side now is frightening.


if its any consolation, i've been told by someone who I consider quite ITK that Bevan French to Hull for next season is all but done.

Connor not a fullback and cant tackle haters be happy watch us flourish now(not).

French done deal,along with Trueman and Hawkins the young Aussie SH

Yeah I've heard the French thing from at least 3 people now. Unless it's all gone to pot now Connor is injured...

Expecting nothing but a dry bumming from a red hot Catalan side looking to bounce back from their surprising defeat to Hudds, and I can't see where our try scoring opportunities come from without Connor unfortunately. Hope those going fly without bother and enjoy some sun at least.

As for rumours; Connor, Reynolds, and Gale for French, Trueman, and Hawkins sounds like good business as much as we'll miss Connor.

Probably just endless attempts at getting Satae to barge over the line from short range for the next few months then.
I'd like to see Litten given a shot. If not this week then at least 1 match over the duration of Connors injury

Think you've gotta go with the safe option of Shaul this week as you say but it's clear the club doesn't want him anymore and he is more than happy to wait out his contract so Litten should get some games under his belt to see what he's got.

Think Shaul is a safe choice for Saturday, go into the international break and asses your options ahead of what will be a big game vs Wire.

Ellam has spoken!

What's the team while you're at it

Another 2 years!!

So the 21 man squad is out, bit disappointed as with Connor out I'd have liked to have seen Balmforth at least given a shot to spell Houghton and had Lovodua in the halfs to try and at least look like we might offer some attacking flair.

Adam Swift
Carlos Tuimavave
Josh Griffin
Darnell McIntosh
Josh Reynolds
Luke Gale
Ligi Sao
Danny Houghton
Chris Satae
Manu Ma'u
Jordan Lane
Joe Lovodua
Brad Fash
Kane Evans
Jack Brown
Jordan Johnstone
Connor Wynne
Cam Scott
Jamie Shaul
Mitieli Vulikijapani
Charlie Severs.

Not the team I'd go with but reckon it'll be something like this

Shaul
Swift
Griffin
Carlos
McIntosh
Reynolds
Gale
Sao
Houghton
Evans
Lane
Mau
Lovodua

Satae
Fash
Brown
Johnstone

Really disappointing squad, players keeping their place and not giving a chance to the youth.

Our 1, 6 and 7 have very little creativity, out of form and none will be here next season.

My thoughts exactly Dave and disappointed BH hasn't gone and shaken things up a little in terms of selection to wake a few of them up.

I appreciate its Catalans and going to be a tough and physical game but the lack of changes is very disappointing

We don't know what team he's gonna pick. Can see Shaul FB. Swift Mac wings. Tuime Wynne centres. Gale Lovodua half's. Sao Houghton Evans. Mau lane Brown. Subs satue Griffin Johnstone Fash. All guess work really
