Assuming the guys that had niggles last week (Satae, Savelio etc) are fit to play, I'd go for:

Connor
Swift
Vulikijapani
Griffin
Shaul
McNamara
Lovodua
Satae
Houghton
Fash
Ma'u
Savelio
Brown

Sao
Bowden
Johnstone
Wynne

It's still got a makeshift look about it, but it's really not bad. A decent forward pack, some good ball carriers and decent pace in the back line. Lovodua and McNamara will just keep it simple and try to supply Connor with good ball so he can work his magic. If we play with intensity then we can get a result.

Edit: Just seen Shaul is definitely out too, so probably Mitch on the wing, Wynne at centre and promote a young back to the bench to cover.

Saints and Catalan are far and away the best 2 teams, then Wigan, Wire, Hudds. and hopefully us. I see this game as a test of wether we’re good enough to make that six. Play with the same intensity as last week plus the extra days rests and we’ll be there or thereabouts but which FC is going to turn up.

I'm sure I've just read Lane might be available.

If so:
Connor, Swift, Griffin, Wynne, Mitch, McNamara, Lovodua
Sao, Houghton, Satae, Savelio, Lane, Brown
Fash, Bowden, Ma'u, JJ

If Lane doesn't make it then Manu starts with Severs on the bench.

IF and uts a big If, we get through this game and the Sheffield game injury/suspension free we should have Carlos, Mcintosh, Gale and Evans back against Wigan. Hopefully we can start to build some momentum

Probably the one that always lets us down at home when extra fans turn up because we played well and won the previous week

Both Lane and Manu included in the 21 with the comment from Hodgson that we will give them time.
based on that cant see either of them making it this week and if its that close then sensible not to risk further injury especially with Manu as we have seen with Carlos what trying to bring a player back too early from a hamstring injury does.

Did we try and bring Carlos back early?

yes pushed too hard in training

Round 6 Wigan v Cas. Fonua's sin bin what the feck is going on there?

Ridiculous.

Absolute disgrace the games knackered!

The yellow was so soft. Even the ball steal on Leuluai, he almost shot up when he thought the ref wasn't going to give a penalty.

Our new stand off is having a dig though. A try and an assist

Looking forward to what Radford has to say about it.

Mcgilvray found no case to answer
Same with fonua tonight but it cost Cas the game.
Big raps to Willie Isa for his reaction to that clothes line tackle.

As soon as I saw who the official was I turned it off, every game with Kendall get ruined with constant poor decisions, must be the worst ref I've ever seen. Luckily with him reffing tonight hopefully he won't be anywhere near our game on Sunday.

You where there, do you have any footage?

No but as i remember If you go back a few weeks Carlos was named in a 21 man squad and was given time like we now have with Lane and Mau i guess to prove his fitness.
Tore the hamstring once again so you have to assume he pushed it too hard in training or wasnt ready.No other explanation

Is our physio having a mare?

So you admit it's pure conjecture. Any reason to slag off the club, though, eh.

So pure guesswork, thought so.

He pushed too hard, so it wasn't the clubs fault?

Some people would rather listen to Paul Cookes injury conspiracy theories than believe the club

17 picks itself if everyone is fit, as 4 young lads in the 17, good to see Balmforth in there, must have really impressed so far, hopefully get a couple of games this year, maybe next week in the cup

Hudds with a few good players out too in

Wardle
Faces
Jones
Conger
Ikihihfifo

Connor
Swift
Wynne
Griifin
Miki
Lover
Macca
Satae
Mint
Bowden
Lane
Dre
Sao
Subs
Brown
Fash
Ma'u
JJ

I'd go with this but JJ or a young player on the bench for Shaul

.... Shaul isn't in the squad.
