If the players aint backing up, i make it Robinson, Cudjoe, Crabtree, Fa'alogo and Faiumu out cos of the Exiles game

Injury wise, Brough O'Donnell, any updates on Lunt and Brown?

Ferguson back for next week

Probably missed someone as well

Surely this is a good chance to give a run out to either McNally or Kyle Wood?

With the combination of injuries and the international we will be down to the bare bones. It's going to be tough against Wakey, very tough indeed.

Id be surprised if Kyle doesnt play

Mcnally had a good game for Barrow on saturday according to the boy

So we're going to be without:

O'Donnell (injured)
Fooey (Exiles)
Doof (Exiles)
Brough (injured)
Robbo (Exiles)
Eorl (Exiles)
Brown (injured potentially)
Raleigh (injured potentially)
Grix (injured potentially)
Cudjoe (if he plays in the Exiles match)
Lunt (injured potentially)

Any more for any more?

Raleigh and Grix are ok as far as i know

Both looked ok yesterday, Grix will be a bit sore today, Raleigh im presuming was 18th man.

Would expect Brown / Lunt to be available so something like:

Hodgson
Jerry
Wardle
Gilly /Horne
Bruno

Brown
Grix

Raleigh
Lunt
Griffin
Fa'alogo
Ferguson
Gily /Horne

bench

Mason
Patrick
Wood
Cording


Not bad! we do have some depth!

Or maybe:

Grix
Jerry
Bruno
Wardle
Dodgy
Cudjoe
Wood
Griff
Lunt
Mase
Gilly
Ferguson
Horne

Larne
Fergie
Raleigh
Kirmond

If Brown is still not fit. Listing the missing players can be worrying but when you see what we still have it cheers you up a bit!

Shame on you danril...you have used the old double Fergie trick!

If Leroy is not in the England 18 i would now expect him to play for us. Also I think you are right re Kirmond, I woud have him in ahead of Cording.

Oops! My bad!

i was thinking Raleigh might be injured. i am sure the announcer gave his name out as been one of the subs instead of patrick. Was this simply a mistake on his part or did he get injured in the warm up.

Nathan Brown says in todays Exminer that neither Brown or Lunt are certain to play next week. I am hoping he is just playing mind games with Wakey becaquse if we go into the game without any recognised half backs or hookers we could be in big trouble.

What is wrong with McNally, l think this is his 4th season, not even a sniff at SL, plenty of other SL teams want halves.
Dawson, ?
Wood, played at Cas, is he going the same way as McNally at the Giants
Grix can do it
Robbo, even if 9 for England won,t do the 80 mins he,s fit enough to turn out at Wakey
Cudjoe, doubt he will get the call on Friday

D hodgy can play FB if neccasery
so can E Hodgy, another 1 match wonder?

The youngsters did ok against Saints last year, but l think some are there just to tick the boxes.
OK the England game is bad timing, loosing our halfbacks a big blow.
but Saints are coping, we have the biggest aquad in SL, we have to live with it.
We "should" still be too strong for the Wildcats

Robinson will play big minutes for England as Roby is out injured

You can add Keal Carlile and Jamie Simpson to the injured list.

Time to dust me old boots off then, i knew this day would come.

You will still pagger us.

Haha I hope you're right

Actually, it's going to be an interesting marker for us as the number of times in the past we've been against "big" teams we've not beaten in years, that were struck by massive injury issues and "we've never had a better chance" and still come up short, I'm hoping this is a time we get some payback, if you know what I mean.

Whoever plays you will be handed your annual 2 points

Bet the media dont make a fuss about us like they did with Saints and Wigan !!!

They'll hear those bones creaking in Pontefract !

Tossa

Bit harsh that....considering i helped you with your zimmer at 'Fax

Kicking it from under my legs wasnt a help

have a good game mate !
