McDermott video on site says Falloon should be in a boot for another ten days and bringing him in next week will be a rush. JJB close but not close enough for next week. Ward nowhere near. McGuire out. Briscoe, Golding and Ablett all major doubts to play.
If so...then this match is surely not worth the risk for bringing back Faloon. It is after all purely a 'friendly' albeit with some kudos to the players. IMO it really is not worth jeopardising the better longer term benefits of having our first choice hooker properly fit and able.
Having Burrow at hooker for this one will lose us the game of course, but just think what valuable experience it will give to the likes of Lilley playing against Thurston.
I hope we give it a good shot, but let's not risk longer term injury to any player crucial, or even critical, to the team's better prospects of building some league points. Leave them out of this one.
