I'm way too cynical to believe that all these players will suddenly be fit to play, after months on the sidelines for some of them, just in time to play a vital game wrt relegation.
Notice how something similar happened when we played Salford at home? Ferguson is suddenly fit for that match, and he hasn't played again since.
Seems to me like we are certainly targeting specific games to try and pick up points.
Still, if they are fit to play then I would line up like this:
Gaskell
Kear
Blythe
Purtell
George/Henry
Addy
Gale
Kaufusi
Diskin
Nas
Ferguson
Pitts
Donno
AoB
Sidlow
Fakir
Walker/Olbison
No place for Foster in my Bulls side. He offers nothing in attack, never wins a collision in the tackle, and last week's showing was the last straw for me. If he does play on Sunday (which I suspect he will), then a smart Wakefield side will be sending some bombs his way. He has never been great at catching bombs, right back to his time as a Saints player.
Henry is another one on thin ice. I was willing to give him time at the start of the season, but he's getting worse and worse as the season goes on. If George is fit, I think he deserves a shot in the side in Henry's place.
I'm also sticking with Gaskell at FB. Sure his defence isn't great, but in my opinion the options he offers from an attacking point of view outweigh his deficiencies when it comes to tackling. I don't think he has that effect from 6, and I don't think Kear would offer as much from fullback.
If Pitts has been recalled, then Olbison starts with Walker/Baldwinson on the bench.
You mean ... all hope ISN'T yet lost??
