Godinet is doubtful and Locke is in the squad.

Scott Anderson
Chris Annakin
Matty Ashurst
Joe Arundel
Pita Godinet
Ali Lauitiiti
Reece Lyne
Kevin Locke
Jacob Miller
Anthony Mullally
Nick Scruton
Mickael Simon
Lee Smith
Tim Smith
Jordan Tansey
Bill Tupou
Anthony Walker
Danny Washbrook
Andy Yates

Appearance of Locke is welcome, potential absence of Pita not so much.

Jonny Molloy ??? Is he injured

Yes Molloy is injured and Pita has problems with his back. May have a fitness test hours before kick off. Could be tricky without a recognised hooker in the squad.

Without Pita, it looks like Washy or Washy and he wont manage 80 mins in that position.
Has anyone else in the 19 ever played 9 ?

Jorden Tansey as played there for cas or so it said when we signed him

Hull KR's 19 minus a few from last week :


14 Mitch Allgood
6 Maurice Blair
24 John Boudebza
17 Greg Burke
35 Dane Chisholm
1 Kieran Dixon
15 James Donaldson
20 James Green
33 James Greenwood
31 Shaun Lunt
13 Tyrone McCarthy
4 Josh Mantellato
29 Matty Marsh
21 Aaron Ollett
34 Tony Puletua
18 Liam Salter
5 Ken Sio
8 Adam Walker
19 Kris Welham

Scrum half Albert Kelly is not named in the squad but will be given until tomorrow morning to prove his fitness, whilst Ben Cockayne and Dane Tilse also make way. Graeme Horne and Kevin Larroyer are the other two players to miss out.

Locke to 1, the Smiths as the half backs, Miller at 9, Wahsbrook as back up?

Please Rovers play Dixon, please, please, please

I'd play it like Leeds did with a forward at hooker and the half backs jumping in to cover hooker during the game.

I think the team may be....

1. Lee Smith
2. Kevin Locke
3. Bill Tupou
4. Joe Arundel
5. Reece Lynne
6. Jacob Miller
7. Tim Smith
8. Nick Scruton
9. Danny Washbrook
10. Scott Anderson
11. Matty Ashurst
12. Chris Annakin
13. Mikael Simon

Subs.
14. Ali Lauitiiti
15. Anthony Mullally
16. Anthony Walker
17. Pita Godinet if unfit then Jordan Tansey to cover back line or hooker positions in case Locke experiment fails.

So no number nine at all should be interesting

Locke is wasted on the wing!

I was under the impression Scruton had a cracked rib

.

If Locke is fit he will be full back, after listening to Brian Smith today he virtually said that, with lee smith covering another position..

Like lee smith to centre and tupou on wing

Thought Howarth might of been in the 19 considering our Hooker situation.

Think Howarth is out for the season, and Moore as well (though that might be a blessing in disguise).

Surely we have a hooker in the u20s who would be able to follow a game plan? We did just get a 'good' after all for development of young lads

Why is Arundel on the bench we need 3 forward subs?

I'm guessing Lock and Tim smith are not 100% and he's there in case one breaks down. Either lee smith to fullback or stand off and arundel to slot into centre pushing bill to the wing.
