Not sure if anyone or the club have announced this yet, but our game at Wigan a week on Sunday is on the BBC I player and red button, 3pm kick off still...God knows why they chose our game! Good for me though as I'm at work till half 2

Wigan will put seventy or eighty on us if they are in the mood.

That’s probably just in the first 40 too.

Jesus you're not actually considering watching it are you?

5 more ruined weekends, we can do it!

Yeh very big loss on the cards. Without Eseh Jr too against his parent club? Not that it would make much difference.

Hope Balmforth starts at 9, unless he cops a ban for the late hit. Otherwise we’re screwed with Lane playing a full game at hooker or an academy half pairing Charles to allow Smith to play 9?

#wherescust

Walker torn his bicep so guess that's him out for the rest of the season. Moy back in at 1 unless he is injured too?

Chamberlain to centre for Carlos.

Balmforth?
Bloke from the pub

Can't play as Wigan are his parent club

We need 2 blokes from down the pub then!

you missed out Sao (yes I know he had a mare), Ashworth might be good to go next week, more concerned about the spine than the pack atm

I'm sure if we get desperate we've got Gardiner and Laidlaw too.

Be a nightmare if Balmforth is suspended. How far off is Houghton?

At least it will give wigan points difference a boost

Maybe we're actually at the point where Myler has to come out of retirement and play in the halves or fullback

Jebson will be there again, as well as Laidlaw/Gardiner.

Could go in with a starting spine of
Moy
Smith
Charles
Lane
Fash

With no interchange hooker.

We’ve gone from starting the season with 4 hookers to starting Lane at 9.

Wow. Incredible really, and not surprising we are where we are.

Not sure what we have to lose from bringing in a young hooker like Hutchinson or Hodgson, can't be much worst than Lane, would only need to give them too short spells to rest Smith.

Although guessing with Walker out, Moy goes to FB, hopefully Carlos is Ok and I'd play him at 6.

I'd switch off so haven't seen Balmforths sin bin, but hopefully it won't get a ban, seemed to be ignoring late hits in the Rovers game yesterday, which is frustrating for fans who want consistency.
