Thought 10 mins was harsh, games going soft, great hit

It would have been a great hit if his arm was slightly lower but it hit his chin area and therefore classed as a high tackle.

Reynolds, Ma'u next week possibly and Bowden definitely out 4/6 weeks broken bone in his elbow, Sneyd doubtful as is Griffin.

Worst case scenario

Connor
Fijian winger
Fonua
Scott
Swift
Carlos
McNamara
Taylor
Houghton
Satae
Lane
Savelio
Cator

Brown
Fash
Sao
Johnstone

Shame we have loaned out Wynne as I would have played him at FB.

Still a strong pack and bench, but very weak in the backs and particularly halfback

To be honest Dave I think Vulikijapani would be worth putting in for this one anyway for his speed to give us some pace on both edges to counter the threat of French. The rest in terms of Griff and Sneyd is unknown but agree with your 17 if they are not going to be risked and given this week to shake off niggles.
Think Fonua is far more dangerous and productive in the centres.

Certainly an intriguing game and one that will give us a very good indication of where we are at in terms of resilience and defensive structure improvement from previous seasons. Think without Reynolds and Sneyd we will be up against it in terms of scoring with Wigans great defence so not expecting to win but too compete.

Griffin and Sneyd are doubtful, get Houghton in the halves, and Johnstone at nine, See my earlier team Mitch on wing, Mahe in the centre. Send the kids, Scott Brown Jude Harvey etc let’s have a look at them.

Looking at the pictures of Facebook, I reckon both Sneyd and Griffin will play

I’ll tell you what Dave, in the last two games just before kick off Sneyd is swigging out of a cup, it’s likely to be coffee with his laid back style, but probably pain killers.

James Child’s, is our referee tomorrow.

well lets hope Sneyd can run this week
The C/C is far more important to both teams so no point in risking anyone carrying a niggle or in Sneyds case a dead leg.
Like Chris said a good opportunity to give Vulcan a run on the wing with Carlos moving to 6 and bringing in Fonua.
I dont think any of us are expecting a win and will be happy if we see 100% effort for 80 mins.
The following week is a different matter.With Reynolds back Sneyd running with two legs i think we can beat them.

Agree, a free hit this one. Cup game is the bigger prize.

Just for a change I'm going to disagree with you.

I see the league and ultimately the GF as the bigger prize.
If we want to be taken seriously about being contenders then consistency and the ability to compete with the Wigans of this world has to be a priority, not a 4 game knockout competition.
Take Leeds for example last year, not a good team, disappointing league finish but CC winners.
I couldn't give a stuff about the CC when compared to LLS and giving ourselves the best shot at appearing in the GF.
So for me this week and not next is more important. However I'm not expecting a victory as I don't think we're at that level yet and that has to be our main focus.
