Cant see any other options with Paul and Bibey still out and no DC's, possibly move Littler to centre and Nash to back row to beef up the starting pack.

Swap Nash for Mills and I'd go with that.

Does anyone think we,ll see Bibey and Paul back this season? I heard Bibey may be out for the season, hope this isn't true, as for Robbie, that some op hes had, will he be ok to play again?

I wouldn't mind seeing Higson against Farrar, think he'd keep him quiet especially with Littler inside him, agree with Matt. Nash for Mills and that's got to be our team. Duffy rather than Nicholson too.

hope higson doesnt start on the wing, struggles under the high ball

Will Duffy be fit? His leg was heavily strapped at Featherstone.

I think we will see Ricky again this season , but i agree about Robbie , not so sure we will .

Nah mate, i'd stick him in at right centre. Farrars defence is strong but attacking wise I think Higson could handle him. Touch wood!

No probs with whichever team we turn out because they will all give it their best shot.

Just because Les Cats humiliated the Pies at their Dome/Pastry Factory does not mean they will do the same to us.

I've heard that Nanyn is injured and maybe missing for the Catalan game

He did limp off but I asked him after game and he said he was hoping to be ok, /thought he would be, so fingers crossed.

Well as FrankB was unavailable Basil and I had a talk over fridays team and we decided

Doubt if he will have Hill and Mills starting together he will use one as an impact player, probably Mills.

Their pack is huge though, that was my way of thinking

Thats why he will probably opt for an impact player coming off the bench,

thatsprobably one of the reasons why he rested the maden,our backs will get through a shed load of work friday. we'll try to tire their props so we can then make big dents on their big lads. i expect gov and duffs will run alot from dummy half aswell to catch them offside

with Nanyn added to the injury list it doesn't leave us many options

(Gov at LF may work & Nico on the bench with Taylor used as starting prop & leave Gorski out possibly)

Saw Nanyn tonight, turning up for training and I asked him was he playing he said he didnt know yet. So he not exactly ruled out as yet.

Well here's hoping

Agreed, if he's out I think your teams about right Ian, if he plays Littler int' 2nd row and Nash ont' bench for Gorski.

Maybe he was going seeing the psyhio to see if he could play, we will have to wait and see

If Nanyn doesn't play could Pownall make an appearance either on the wing and Maden to centre or at FB and Donlan at centre?

At the moment Ricky Murphy is the on form reserve back, though Pownall is a class act and is very versatile but I doubt 'basil' will pick such an inexperienced player V a SL side.
