Squad for Monday : Sat Apr 11, 2009 8:03 pm  

B. Hodgson, Brown, Whaturia, D. Hodgson, Fulton, Robinson, Crabtree, Faiumu, D. Griffin, Lolesi, Raleigh, Wild, Finnigan, Jackson, Mason, Lawrence, Moore, Cudjoe, Lunt.

No Kirmond which is a real shame, Aspinwall also out, would imagine Cudjoe will fill in.

KR look to be at full strength! boooo! This will be a real toughy in the circs. Come on Giants, this one is a real test to our league ambitions.

Been missing since a few minutes into our first game of the season

If we had taken any injuries in the derby JM stated he would have been playing tomorrow but now scheduled to be back against Quins on sunday.

Team hasn't played to badly without him TBF, but he is a class act waiting to return.

If Wild is fit, I'll suggest - though not necessarily want - Jacko & Lunt to miss out.

Lunt may go very well against a tired defence so i would definitely play him.

Faiumu and Jacko to miss out depending on Wild

Good for us because he's a really good player IMO.

I would agree with that. Never thought I would be championing Lunt over Faiumu at the beggining of the season given he came from NL2 and Faiumu has played for New Zealand. Just shows doesn't it. Expensive overseas imports are not always the answer. Hope he improves but at the moment he is not good enough for the team IMHO

wild is fit he was rested on friday night with mason. faimu and jacko to miss out.

That's a serious dent in our impact imo (hopefully a serious dent in the number of knock ons too ). A very tough game to throw Esders into.
