Our squad is pretty strong with Taylor, Ellis and Kelly back.

Only two players missing in Houghton and Green.

48 hours before I believe so would have been done before naming 19? Either that or he's done a Joel Moon and told him to man up and play.

6 days I think is the earliest return time

Pretty much what I have said.
No point risking them at this stage.
If a player is concussed I understood it was 6 days before their next game as Smokey has said.

So moon back to centre?

A Return To Play test is undertaken only after 120 hors (5 days) has elapsed since the injury. So it can't have been done when the 19 was named by my reckoning.

So has possibly just had one about ten minutes ago then? Hopefully he passed.

There's a another test, done after 4 days I believe, that allows a player to return to full contact training. It may be the case that any player passing this almost invariably makes the grade for the one 24 hours later. So maybe the clubs are 99% sure that a player's going to come through ok. Likewise, hope he's ok.

Has anyone bought tickets for the game, was wondering which stand you have been allocated?

Your going with a 5 prop gamble with 3 of them not front line?

If all fit I would play the most experienced line up to include Galloway, Sutcliffe at and moon stand off as this will be a tough away match. Monday should be easier so we can makes some changes for that one.

but refs aren't leaving because of people shouting at them. they are leaving because of various allegations against people at the rfl

While not a crisis like last season we still have suffered from injuries and suspensions so far and could do with a period with a settled side.

If Golding fails his fitness test I would play Sutcliffe at FB and Ward in the . That would minimise the changes.

What if Suttcliffe doesn't pass the test and Goldings still crocked?

can anyone explain why if jimmy kienhorst is out for 10 to 12 weeks for an operation why did he use his EGP at the disiplinary meeting, thus not getting banned for 1 match

Because if found guilty at panel then he loses it anyway.

thanks frosties i didnt know that good luck on friday

If he had contested it and found not guilty he would still have had his EGP for another day. Nothing to lose by challenging it if he knew that he would be out anyway.

That then starts to look like a crisis again. If Cameron Smith is fit he could perhaps play in the centres with Ward, and Watkins dropping back to FB. But we now have a lack of good cover for back rowers and threequarters and will have to play all the halfbacks with Moon back to centre.

Could we look at giving Aston a game in the near future or is that a non starter?
How is he shaping up at Fev?

There is no way could Cameron Smith play in centres.

I have gone on reputation rather as an option so perhaps he has been overrated. A ball playing backrower should be able to stand in at . More than half the in SL are nothing more than second rowers.

Who would you play at and FB if no Keinhorst, Sutcliffe or Golding.?

He's been brilliant for Featherstone. However he's on loan there for the season and don't think we have a recall option for him.

Aston's on a season-long loan at ours (Fev). Not sure if there is a recall clause. He has gone okay the last couple of games, but to my mind he's a million miles away from being a SL player, at this stage anyway. Then again, Walters doesn't stand out at Championship level for Fev - I think we have a number of backrowers who are better - but seems to play a fair bit for the Rhinos.

Oledzki, on the other hand, looked a potential superstar on Sunday. Not often you see an 18-year-old consistently winning the collisions, including against the bigger men.

Oledski i think will play over easter and may become a reguler quickly not seem him play but seems to be the real deal

That is a dilema.
Could we put Briscoe to FB and Handley on the wing or is Handley still out injured?
We can`t even use Luke Briscoe these days as he has been banned for 5 games.
Although saying that I think he is off our books now.
