Hardaker, Briscoe, Moon, Hall, McGuire, Cuhbertson, Ablett, Ward, Delaney, Walters, Ferres could all be missing next week.

Sutcliffe
Golding Watkins Keinhorst Handley
Burrow Lilley
Garbutt Falloon Galloway
JJB Achurch
Singleton

Mullally Baldwinson Hallas Smith

Sadly I wouldn't have Falloon or Galloway playing if it was possible

If knowone is back next week

It will have to be

Golding
Watkins
Sutcliffe
Keinhorst
Handley
Lilley
Burrow
Galloway
Falloon
Garbutt
Singleton
Mullally
JJB

Subs
Achurch
Baldwinson
Hallas
Smith

Unless we bring in some loan signings or permanent ones

I'd rather pick Galloway over Achurch any day atm

Why isn't Hardaker playing next week?

What's wrong with Abbo?

Falloon and Achurch shouldn't be anywhere near.

The big question would be how we re-shuffle the back line. Golding is the obvious backup but needed elsewhere, Sutcliffe too needs to stay in the halves for me.

If we can manage it I'd maybe think about giving Watkins a go there hoping more space and or touches might shock him into some semblance of form.

Moon should be back.

He might have a concussion, but he also wasn't exactly moving freely in the build up to the second Lomax try just before HT.

Think Hardaker will be fine. Stood up and walked off under his own steam, just needs to pass his cog tests in the week. With seven days to recover I'd be surprised if he isn't good to go.

Sutcliffe and Lilley in the halves. Burrow to start at 9. Baldwinson and Cam Smith into the 17 for Ablett and Delaney if they can't play. Hopefully Moon will be back which means Keinhorst gives you an extra back row option.

Keinhorst and Achurch back row, Moon centre and Sutty FB. Unfortunately that means Falloon will have to start if Zak's out. Be brave Mac. Give Baldwinson and Cam Smith a shot

Has to pass the COG test and also picked up a knock before that incident too.

Re Ablett and Delaney, McDermott said that they could be out for quite some time.

Wasn't Cuthbertson only supposed to be out for a couple of weeks could he possible return next week?

McD said that ferris, Magsy and Cuthbo all have a chance for next week.

Of more concern was his comments that neither Faloon or Delaney should have played. What does Baldwinson have to do to get a fair crack in this team. Surely fresh/Able bodies, even if inexperienced are better than constantly playing 'busted favourites'??

Was Delaney ever actually "in"?

Be interesting if huby and ferres both recover in time!

Golding at fullback over Sutcliffe, I thought he was poor defensively at fullback and should have done better on a couple of occasions, golding would have at least stopped one of them tries.
Again we were best in attack with Burrow at 9 and Sutcliffe and Lilley in the halves, unfortunately this puts even more pressure on our already poor defensive ruck. I would probably drop Falloon all together and put Baldwinson on the bench to give us a more mobile forward in the middle.

I get the feeling that baldwinson is not ready for being chucked into Sl in a struggling team. over the years youngsters hand been introduced gradually especially forwards

I think McDermott is getting increasingly desperate - so he keeps playing injured players such as Ablett and especially Delanney. Delaney seems incapable of getting through 80 minutes so what is the point?

Baldwinson cannot do a lot worse than what we are seeing out there plus having some game time with JJB will do a lot of good IMO

Tough fixture, although they are bottom, huddersfield look like they have turned things round in the last few weeks.

the only bit of the macd interview was saying we are progressing and learning , same line powell used to trot out

Agree. Can't see what the difference is between throwing Mullally in and Baldwinson. Delaney and Achurch are both gaining selection ahead of the latter when they shouldn't be. Delaney might have the spirit but no longer the body (McDermott flogging-his-favourites chickens coming home to roost) conversely Achurch.

Because the two you want out are back rowers, and the two you want in are props. It would be pointless going with five props in a 17.

I want Baldwinson to have a crack, just like many others. But I look at the four props last night, and can't see who I would drop for him.

Singleton could probably make a better second rower than Delaney (who can't pass) and Achurch (who won't tackle). Baldwinson to prop ...sorted

The picture he tweeted was pretty bad!

Who ablett or delanney
