Virtually the same squad has been named for Sunday, with probably TJ and Fifita coming in you would think. Some interesting decisions to be made as re. the bench, does Kay get a spot??

Don't see why not, does he deserve to be dropped?.

It is Murphy who misses out. This is the correct move IMHO. Murph is now off the mark and has got the Leeds game behind him, no need to overexpose him, especially as Kay has so much more experience.

Yeah I forgot who actually was on the wing last week!!

OK, assuming all 19 are actually available, I'd go...

Jowitt

TJ
Hall
Lyne
Kay

Miller
Lino

Crowther
Ashurst
Pitts
Fifita (Whitbread if Daves is not right yet)
Hood
Arona

Tanginoa
Battye
Batch
Walker (covers H/B -L/F - S/R as well as hooker)

Wouldn't have a problem with that, just depends whether Poching wants another prop like last week.......

Might do.

Could also depend on whether the big bopper is actually fit to play

Yup, in the 'reserves' squad, along with Army Dave.
Didn't you believe it when you were told he was fit?

I did mention that, wouldn't surprise me.

Bowes is named in both the 'Reserves' squad and the '1st Team' squad

Two more potential first-teamers on their way back and more practice for Bowes and Murphy. Also playing are O'Donovan and Windrow but no Eseh, and Sid is in the first 19.

Strong reserve team IMO.

You can do that, but if he plays then it's highly unlikely he will make the 17.

Agree but think Whitbread could be unlucky to miss out went well last week Trouble is so did the other 16 who played last week

There is quite a list of players now who can say that, a good place to be for us. If Whitehead played I'd have no issues.

What a situation to be in when it’s hard to consider dropping any single player.

I would only be tempted to bring in Walker or adebiyi for Aydin but would be happy for any of the squad names to play in the 17.

Sid out of all the reserves players looks the one absolutely busting a gut to get a run-out.

Yes a good point .You see the team walk on the park and you are quite happy with the team .Last week say's it all for me .My hope of a win did not drop because T J and Big Dave was out .At one time you would have been worried

Pre kick off I was gutted that those two were missing and at that point I thought we would get beaten.
Having come away with the win, without arguably our 2 most potent players (a bit harsh on Lino there), the win was even more satisfying and it bodes well for the rest of the season

Assuming that Dave’s fit the backs pick themselves , hood Arona battye , ashurst tanginoa Pitt’s with fiftta, whitbread batchelor and crowther making up the 17

Shame For aydin , rest of them will get there chances.

Sadly am away so will be listening on radio , if we play like we did last week think any club won’t be looking forward to playing us !1

He must have put himself in Pochings thoughts as he’s been in the 21 man squad last 2 weeks and interestingly he’s not playing reserves this weekend. Willie has gone with 3 props last 2 games but maybe he will go with Adebiyi for this one. Not sure who he would replace though as in reserves I’m sure he’s been playing SR. You can’t really drop Batch either.

If he drops someone it would almost certainly be because they might be carrying a minor injury. Nobody would be dropped due to lack of form.

The fact that HKR are thrashing Warrington shows we have to guarded with our excitement of our form.
We need to beat Salford or at least be close to show it wasn't Warrington poor form rather than our great play.

We are playing really well but there are still holes as Willie has said himself.

6th on the table be kind of we can carry on our winning run. I expect a battle on Sunday our confidence and belief must be sky high. Salford's form isn't brilliant at the moment but they have a decent team

Seeing that even Hull KR can beat Wire so easily has taken a bit of the gloss off our two wins over at the HJ.
