My bad. Still like us being without balmforth and Holmes.  If only

True, looking at our team, we?re Barron, Cartwright and Lane away from a full strength 13. Then Holmes you?d imagine would be on the bench somewhere. 

Still missing


Barron
Lane
Cartwright
Holmes
Fash
Watts


It's crazy that most of our injuries are in the same position.

Squad for Friday:


1 Jordan Rapana


3 Zak Hardaker


4 Ed Chamberlain


5 Tom Briscoe


6 Will Pryce


7 Aidan Sezer


8 Herman Ese?ese


9 Amir Bourouh


13 John Asiata


14 Cade Cust


16 Yusuf Aydin


17 Jack Ashworth


20 Davy Litten


22 Lewis Martin


23 Logan Moy


25 Denive Balmforth


27 Matty Laidlaw


30 Callum Kemp


32 Will Kirby


39 Sam Eseh


40 Liam Knight


Team pretty much names itself with Moy, Kemp, Kirby and Laidlaw dropping out.

Rovers name Lewis in the squad,


Looks like its only McIlorum is out and noteworthy

the 2nd rowers are a big miss.  add in cartwright, lane and holmes and its a different game

The 17 Pretty much picks itself without any 2nd rowers being available. Only question is whether we should start with both Ese'ese & Knight. Admittedly we lose a lot of go forward when neither are on but think we gain more overall when both on together than we would splitting them up. 


Pryce
Briscoe
Rapana
Litten
Martin
Cust
Sezer
Ese'ese
Bourouh
Knight/Aydin
Hardaker
Chamberlain
Asiata


Balmforth
Ashworth
Aydin/Knight
Eseh

I suppose there are two approaches to the props, go for consistency throughout the game and split up Knight and Ese'ese or try and make hay with them both on and then go for more of a holding action while they're off.

We really struggled against wire when both were off, made worse by ashworth being put in the bin so I'd split them up,mayd8n is a decent defender so could be on in the jorenintense early stages then Knight and ashworth off the bench. I think k ashworth is better with a more dominant prop alongside him rather than being the main man

Less than 1k tickets left according to the wail so should be around 21/22k there.


SL should se a massive number of attendees overall for rivals round with the 3 big clubs all at home and us and Wigan near sell outs.
