McD seemed to indicate that Burrow was really close to being available last week, so he may be available unless he's had a set back. We definitely need someone from the bench who can inject some pace from dummy half, which Cuthbo couldn't do last week.

Expect Mags to get a ban & deservedly so.

Golding and Burrow were both close so could be back for this game. Haven't heard anything for a while on Keinhorst but last time I did he was targeting the beginning of July, so maybe an outside chance he could get back for this one if he's made good progress.

Yeah THURSDAY is correct apologies for the oversight

Probably will. Hopefully if we get Golding and Keinhorst back that will allow Sutcliffe to move alongside Moon in the halves, i don't see too many other options and Saints is no time for experiments.

Seem to think that in the press conference before the Fev game (might have been Wakey game) Mac was saying it had been a nasty injury for Keinhorst that they were going to have to be very careful with as his ligament/tendon had had to be sewn back to his finger and they were possibly looking at 5-6 weeks

It's a Thursday game so we'll invariably fail to turn up. Surely, we can't be as bad as Friday though? Saints' form is still very patchy, hopefully Ablett, Burrow, and Golding will be back so we can move Sutcliffe back to centre. Although, it won't matter who plays if we complete at below 60% again.

Mcguire will probably get off due to sin bin and good record.

I hope you are right. Would be happy going in with the team you posted above.

McDermott seemed to think Burrow would probably be back, it'll be interesting to see what the bench looks like if so. Also, I doubt any of the Fev DRs will be included, it'll be their 3rd game in a week by the time the Saints game kicks off.

I was told last week that Burrow won't be in for a few weeks as he's had an operation on the shoulder. I'll be surprised if he ends up playing still.

Well, McDermott seemed to indicate he was close to being able to play against Cas, so I'm assuming he'll be available this week.

I think Burrow sees a specialist today to check the shoulder over, but I was told best case scenario may well be a 2 week lay off. We shall see.

And that is not the first time McDermott is off a different planet to anyone else concerning injuries and return periods. I heard the same as the poster above, that a specialist was reviewing today, but it was unlikely Burrow would be playing for next two weeks.

Mcguire on a grade C charge of foul language towards a match official (2-3 match ban) EGP available & JJB Grade A shoulder charge (0-1 match ban) EGP not available. Expect both to be banned as JJB third time this season.

Is that the official squad Frostie?
If so does this mean JJB didn`t cop a ban and McGuire did?

It means they are hoping for some reason JJB gets off, but they told McGuire to accept his punishment.

Child the ref - stand by for 20-25 pens in a stop-start affair

Yeah all McGuire can hope for is the lesser end of the Grade C scale, there was no chance he was going to be available for this week. Doubt JJB will escape a ban but it is at least a possibility with a Grade A.

JJB banned for one match.

Magsy banned for one match also
