I think I'd go big on the bench can always play Fash/Ashworth or Ligi for 20 in 2nd row and move Laney to 9 to give Balmforth a breather

Surgery is always the last resort as it’s costly, has risks, outcome is uncertain and sometimes not an option- not everything is operable . Plus there is the time element. Think once again fans see things in black n white if you pardon the pun.its in the clubs and players interest to get the optimum outcome so having acquired Holmes, rightly or wrongly, I’m sure the club is doing the right thing for Holmes the player and Holmes the person.

It's a blow losing Hardaker as he did well last weekend.

I'd probably also go with Moy at full back and Rapana offering that experience in the centres. It's probably going to be a tough night. With the team from last week I'd have given us an outside chance. With the squad name, looks very unlikely. Hopefully a couple back for the Huddersfield game which we should be winning.

Hardaker rarely misses any games….until he signs for FC of course

The Hardaker ommission has given us a bit of a conundrum. I think we need Rapana at centre now, which means Moy at FB. I would probably go with the plan A being that Balmforth will play 80 minutes. But we need a contingency plan in case he is really struggling. Probably in the form of Lane going to hooker for 20 minutes. Far from ideal but I think we need to stack the bench with size and whilst I trust Hutchison it could be a waste if he isn't really needed in the end.

Id be looking to keep Rapana at FB personally, Chamberlain to centre and have Moy on bench to spell with Balmforth at Hooker.

I just hope we compete and it's not a hammering.

Worrying that we've got a new S&C team in, better fitness, better conditioning and facilities, new physio team and we're still blighted by injuries

And opposite our friends over the river seem to be largely injury free for the last 18 months baring the odd injury, can’t be just “bad luck”

Most teams have injuries just look at others... But again it's just us ...

We was into squad numbers in the fifties last year, it’s a fair discussion point.

Last year..... This is a new year .....Leigh Leeds Wakefield Cas Catalans etc all have 4 or more players out..... Maybe there have the same backroom staff as us

The extent of the injury lists across the comp already is a real shame. It's a tough sport.
