Evans, JJ and Sao all banned for 2 games

Bowden, Severs, Litton to come in, at least we won't have 4 hookers on the pitch !

Probably means another 80 min flogging for Houghton though and Litten and Parcell running round him for the whole game

Another positional change for Lovodua we will have him on the wing next

I would move Mcintosh to right centre and play Barron on the wing.He is big enough and fast enough to be given a chance
I would also move Griffin to the left wing and Wynne back to centre.Griffin offers nothing as a centre but could take up a few more runs coming out of defence as a wing.
Lovodua back to 13 and Johnstone left out but we all know that wont happen under this coaching set up

Gale and McNamara back...you would expect Houghton and lovoďua to play 9...but I fear you could be right, Hodgson will probably put Lovadua in the pack knowing him

JJ banned for 2 games now

Sao, Evans, JJ banned.

Vulikijani ack for Wigan

Christ. This is going to be a grim few weeks.

Evans was a high tackle. Did wonder if he'd get done for that.

Johnstone is for a dangerous throw. I do remember us getting penalised in the first half so a very slight tip tackle so I assume its that. 2 matches seems harsh.

Sao is for kicking out. At a loss for that one.

This week going well

Yeaman, Ellis and Washy playing

Think Mick Harrison could give us good 10 min. What about getting K Tindall back

Has Jason Smith gone home yet?

I mentioned it at the time. He kicked a player in the face while he was on the ground. Looked vicious.

So are we looking like
Shaul
Macintosh
Wynne
Griffin
Barron
Mc
Gale
Taylor
Houghton
Satae
Lane
Sevens
Joey

Fash
Brown
Bowden
Balmforth
Maybe something like that?

I'd go with that too.

I got told Bowden won't play for us again let's see how true this is this weekend.

Satae has got to start, the game could well be over by the time we bring him on.

I'd be surprised if the reserves game goes ahead on Wednesday now.

How come Dobbins never get anyone banned?

Not telling me they don’t commit foul play.

Haven’t seen there recent games but during their home game with Catalan, which was on channel 4, Coote clearly went in on Davies with his knees when he scored their first try. This didn’t even get a mention in the disciplinary report.

We've got loads of teenagers who can go for a run out. We might need them in a few weeks so the practise will do them good.

Wouldn't surprise me if Ma'u played. I bumped in to him last week and he said he was hoping to be fit for the derby.
