Whilst everyone gets in a state about Rangi of more immediate concern are the injuries that we picked up on Monday, there seemed a few walking wounded, not including Paterson and Lee who looked potential long term injuries.

Has anyone heard anything ?

Josh Griffin has also got a broken bone in his foot. not looking good www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/ ... ---9008043

A walne Not sure injured ?

Possibly leaves us with just enough players, maybe adding some one from 19's. One thing for sure is a debut looks on the cards for someone.

The backs are less of a worry as we have pretty much like for like replacements.

Possible line-up of:

1. Locke (If fit)/Evalds
2. Johnson
3. Sau
4. MCB
5. BJB
6. Fages
7. Dobson

Forwards will be where we are spread thin.

A combination of...

Taylor
Tasi
Morley
Hood
Hansen
Forster
Walton
TP?

Certainly struggling with the pack. Hood will probably have to do 80 against one of his old Clubs.

Niall Evalds
Ben Jones-Bishop
Mason Caton-Brown
Junior Sa'u
Greg Johnson
Theo Fages
Michael Dobson
Adrian Morley
Liam Hood
Scott Taylor
Lama Tasi
Jason Walton
Harrison Hansen

Daryl Griffin
Carl Forster
Whatever we have walking

I expect Matty Gee will have to step up

I think you'll see Locke back in some form with possibly MCB dropping out and Evalds playing some part on the Wing/Centre. The rest of the team picks itself really.

Evalds
Bjb
Mcb
Sau
Johnson
Locke
Dobbo
Moz
Theo
Taylor
Hansen
Walton
Forster

Hood
D griffin
Tasi
A.Walne if fit.

We need to replace Hock right away.

Im hearing a.walne not fit so can see lannon or gee comig in!

Walton @ 13 for me for the duration.

Hood 80 minutes then Dobson/Fages in the halves.

MCB outside Johnson again and Sa'u with BJB outside him would match Leeds.

Fear we will fall just short in the forwards.
