The man should be playing.

He must be something like fit for Webster to put him in his official 19 on Tuesday, I'd have thought he would be ideal interchange with McShane myself

Jw did say 5 of the squad he picked had not trained yet so didn't know who would make the 17

Our luck with injuries continues..

Probably likely that Washbrook will start at 9 for the first 20 minutes with an extra forward in the pack with McShane coming off the bench. Hasn't really worked before but what is the alternative now?

We could rest McShane altogether and play Owen at hooker for the full 80 minutes ........ now that really would please NGB4C !!!!!!

(Puts tin hat on, and waits for response .....

)

Alternative is start Mcshane and spell him when it's appropriate.
We have to start well and Washy's distribution just isn't quick enough.
Catalan will be in our faces before our forwards have received the ball (just like Salford, Wigan and Huddersfield).
