In my opinion it doesn,t matter how many pivotal players we have, first things first we need to sort out our defence, we can almost guarantee that the goons don,t want a forward battle and will try and move the ball out wide as quick as possible.

This is we really need to put a lot of pressure on Matty Smith so they don,t get any rythem, likewise there will be a lot of pressure on Wilkin if he is our one and only pivot.

We are getting a little bit snookered if we lose both Burns and Roby with Wellens at 1 and Lance at 9 we could look at Turner at 6 with Jonesy and Dawson concentrating more as defensive centres for when the Goons go out wide.

Its a bit of a challenge for KC, interesting to work out how he will approach it.

If burns is injured, we surely can't turn up the chance to reunite the GF winning halfback combination of Hohaia and Flanagan!

I think lance will be fullback again. Wello has a hip injury and will see specialist this week.

Roby was concussed? Cant see that stopping him this week. Similarly, Burns played the whole game with what looked like a pretty sore cheek bone, but I reckon he will be out there too. Not sure about Vea, he looked pretty sore when he went off.

The problem with robes, he will have to pass all the medical tests to play Friday.

Thompson passed them to play v Widnes after the Wakey game and he looked worse than Roby did to me.

I'm no expert but I reckon Roby will play.

Vea clapped the fans at the end of the game, I can see him playing. Greenwood may be out there, and Walsh ... Well I'd never say never

Wellens is a bit of a blow. Hohaia had a really poor game until he moved to hooker last week - I'd feel really uncomfortable if that was a prolonged situation. Makinson would be the safest option, but I wouldn't want to lose him from the 3/4s because he's easily our best attacking threat. The back 5 seem a bit of a problem with Percival and Lomax out, and Dawson and Jones looking woeful/ out of form.

Robes will play I think but my point is, it's not down to him, it's down to medical team.

Heard anything on wello mate ?

Tommy has to play fullback if wello is out. It's a no Brainer Imo. Lance invites teams to kick high balls and he and swift are not the best on high balls.

Tommy doesn't bring much in terms of attack really, very rare he beats a man but is a worldclass finisher and that could cost us if we get one chance to finish it.

Yeah I get your point mate. I'm sure if it was up to him it wouldn't even be up for discussion.

And no not yet mate. I hadn't been tipped off he'd been replaced in the 19 which is rare so it's a bit hush hush on that one.
