If Percy is fit, then he'll replace Turner.
Flanno will replace Sia on the bench.
Wilkin to #6, Jones to second row and Wheeler in the centres to accommodate Walsh.

Not ideal, but not the end of the world.

Lets stop this talk of Wello at half back. It depresses me. I'd rather have Wello at full back and Lomax to #7.

Wheeler isn't injured, he is fit and available for Wakefield. Percival has been injured but hopefully back for Leeds and Dawson said in pre-season that Brown sees him as a centre as much as he does a winger.

Percy might be fit for Wakefield.

Is this just a guess?

Nothing from the club yet and nothing from the usual people who are bang on with info.

Looks like a bit of scaremongering to me and we should all just wait til we hear something reliable this week.

I don't do scare mongering. Wait and see what comes out officially ....

The advantage of a good squad means you don't have to needle up players.

The fringe players are up for a shirt. Chance to see if that they are up to it.

I would rest all the weary , not out of disrespect to Wakey but common sense
for a long campaign but Easter round the corner,

Omit Lomax, Walsh Sia and Warmsley.

Give Dawson,Flanagan, and one of the young guns. Greenwood etc a go.
Wheeler and Percy to return.

Positional changes Lance FB, Dawson Centre , Wilkin 7.

Re: Injury's : Sat Mar 15, 2014 7:15 pm  

I agree that with the squad depth we have we can afford to rest anyone with any niggles, assuming Wheeler and Percy to return, I would go:

6. Lance Hohaia
2. Tommy Makinson
26. Matty Dawson
22. Mark Percival
5. Adam Swift

24. Gary Wheeler
12. Jon Wilkin

16. Kyle Amor
9. James Roby
14. Anthony Laffranchi
15. Mark Flanagan
13. Willie Manu
4. Josh Jones

8. Mose Masoe
10. LMS
17. Paul Wellens
23. Joe Greenwood

Not a bad team considering that would leave 5 starting players missing:

1. Jonny Lomax
3. Jordan Turner
7. Luke Walsh
11. Sia Soliola
18. Alex Walmsley

I was about to say that the above is a squad that should be able to take Wakefield, but haven't they scored 100 points in the last week or so? Could this be a tougher ask then we imagine? I was impressed with the way we handle what I perceived as a banana skin in HKR. Hopefully we'll really pull out some muscle and grind the win out.

Ant Walker will probably get the nod before greenwood, and his work rate may be very helpful.

London Broncos 22 v 50 Wakefield Trinity Wildcats
Wakefield Trinity Wildcats 56 v 14 Catalans Dragons

They're certainly not to be taken lightly but I think that squad would be enough. I'd also rather take a loss at this point than aggravate a niggling injury on our of our best players and put them out long term.

Lomax picked up a couple of knocks yesterday, I'm sure he could play with them if needs be.

Looked ok when I seen him today.

Lomax will be playing.
