With Savelio out, I'd would have Staverley on the bench, as he can play prop or backrow, Can't have Sao and Lane playing 80 minutes, who plays in the back from the bench?

Imagine Fash may have his 2nd stint at second row replacing Sao, who I doubt could do 80 mins

Sutcliffe similar, seems to play 3 then miss a couple.

Has Sutcliffe been that bad?

Remember him missing 2 or 3 earlier on in the year with a rib injury and the last few weeks with his knee, but he's played more that he's missed

Re: Craven Park Derby : Sun Jul 09, 2023 7:04 am  

Sao and Lane capable of full 80’s, but granted giving them a rest at some stage would be ideal

Wonder if Savelio was a late call, seems strange to have our two backrowers out and have our only two other backrowers (except Lane) playing for the reserves.

Could Gardener or Brown do a spell there.

Just looked, this will be the 5th game he has missed, not as bad as I thought. Just seems to get niggles, same at Leeds.

Already underdogs with the bookies, now 2 of our best drop out. So that's Griffin, Savelio; Sutcliffe all missing, Taylor not match fit, and if they are claiming Coote as an absentee we'll have Evans. Lordy.

I doubt it and it would be a big ask for either of them. It would have been a big call but it’s a shame Gardiner isn’t starting because he strengths are way more suited to starting games and than coming off the bench hoping to make an impact

Shaul to hooker, Houghton to backrow?
