Hayes' injury has forced one change but, in any case, I was expecting him to be withdrawn from the firing line at some point in the near future and Drinkwater to be given some game time and the chance to prove himself (he's had just 2 ½ games under Burgess). Russell had a bad game and needed to be dropped, Harrison and Crowther have played a lot of minutes and I think that there were signs, Crowther in particular, that performances were dipping. With Musgrove coming back, and with some tough rounds ahead of us, it feels like the right decision to rest them.

With four changes already confirmed by the squad selection it will be interesting to see whether or not Ratchford stays in, I suspect that he will.

I get more nervous/fidgety about games that we are expected to win. Always worried about the team that's struggling getting a quick 10 point lead & us panicking and the opposition having the best game of their season.
Get a grip Smiffy!

I don't think will make much difference tonight, but a massive step in the right direction for the club.

My 'want' for tonight is no/minimal penalties.
Achieve that and we'll be fine.

Last week was a penalty horror show and we got what we deserved.
