No place for Kyle Wood this week so guess Hadley will provide the hooker cover.

with Annakin and Hasson missing out for me

Great to see Arundel named

I expect Arundel will be on the bench and come on to give Arona a breather but if fully fit would like to see him at centre in place of MCB.

No problem with MCB so long as he plays on the wing.

After his performance in the league fixture at Salford earlier in the season, he will be on the wing and if he gets some service from Toupu, he will find the try line.

Although we've beaten Salford 2/3 this season, they have caused us plenty of problems and we were a little bit lucky with both wins, although the away fixture, when Batch scored under the sticks to seal the win, it THE best moment of the season so far !

Let's hope that we can handle the Salford pack and find some space for MCB and BJB

Another HUGE game na if we can come away with 2 points, it will be another massive step towards a semi final spot, which is just unbelievable.

Based on recent performances I think Annakin would be unlucky to miss out and should certainly feature ahead of Hasson

I reckon Hasson will get the nod against his former employers...

Annakin would be most unfortunate to miss out. Hasson - does he have a point to prove and make him a valuable inclusion?


Read elsewhere Wood has an ankle injury - they were saying a break but not heard anything form the club on that. Excited to see Randall.

These are all good problems to have

Disappointing re.Wood, must be serious-ish given the fact he hasn't now played for 3 weeks, although excited about seeing Randell. As re. Hasson playing, which prop misses out from the other 4? Or are we having 3 props on the bench?!

Hasson wrote himself into this game by saying that Salford treated him like a piece of meat, I'm guessing he's got a point he wants to prove against them. I wonder if Randell has shown that he can do big minutes so covering him might be less of a necessity which would allow for a bigger bench.

You can try too hard as well and end up it backfired on yourself.

so we are dropping our best player all year for this new reserve grade sgining.....that will go down great with team morale kiss this game goodbye

Would guess he's still carrying the injury that kept him out of the Cas game?

He's injured and this is getting a bit tedious now

If Wood has an ankle break, which was mentioned on here earlier, then he won't be playing again this season.

It hasn't though, been confirmed by the club.

Feel sorry for Kyle, he has played well this year

Oh lord I've seen that a few times - he just needs to concentrate on his game - he needs to prove himself to us not Salford.

He's had an ok start but a lot to do to earn a contract.

Just out of interest, who is the best player all season that you say will be dropped for Hasson, Chester's picked a 19 man squad where the majority picks themselves and the rest including Hasson if he plays will get selected on the coaches tactics for the game, one thing for sure if he plays he might use it as motivation but I doubt Chester will select him to to give him a chance to get one over his old team.

Chissit, I think BOJ is referring to Randell playing and Wood not rather than reference to Hasson. The view on the forum is that BOJ is missing the point that Wood is likely to still be out with an injury.

BOJ do you think Woody is that good he should play with a broken ankle? And to think you where the quickest sperm.

As for Hasson instead of making a separate post I tried to include both together with my thought's on his inclusion in the 17 or not as the case may be.

If he doesn't know he's injured he doesn't know.
Why not just tell him and carry on.

I'm not sure why someone's location is such a big deal but if you can't get to the games maybe you don't know that Wood is injured and probably out for the season......so to be clear, Wood is injured, we let our other hooker go, so having a new signing at hooker no matter who he is, is a good thing.

Apologies, perhaps I should choose my words more carefully in future, or at least run my post past you first for approval.
I've edited my post for you in the interest of harmony, hope it fits in with your thoughts on the subject.

Maybe BOJ should pay attention to the forum where its pretty well documented on here Woody is injured instead of posting his tripe?
Just saying

Nice to see Joe Arundel back in the 19 after some wrote him off for the season!
