Taylor, Paea, Bowden and Savelio are all avaialble for selection on Saturday. Great news.

Sika Manu and Dannu Houghton not yet ruled out and hopefully will make it.

Missing will be Faraimo, Tuimavave, Logan, Ellis. Logan out for 3-4 months whlst the others not expected to be more than 2/3 weeks.

… Savelio's ankle has now recovered from a knee injury, Carlos's achilles has spread to his hamstring and back again, but at least they're all making progress.

No news on Lane

Mr Liam Moore is our referee, is he the guy Macnamara objected to, due to his incompetence, and he was subsequently downgraded.

Hard to pick the pack, very strong side, should be winning this one.

I'd like to see Bowden have a run out, is there a reserves game tomorrow against Wakey, May be a run out for Savalio?

Bowden on the bench for Fashy and give him 20 mins, Sika for Thompson, Houghton for Washy and Faraimo if fit for Buchanan if Savelio is fit can see him going on the bench for Masi.

… that's 4 players who are probably rated doubtful, either still recovering from injury or hardly played in the last 12 months. I can't see it happening. Too much of a risk.

Not sure I would want to risk Bowden or Savelio this weekend.40 mins each for the next reserve game would be more ideal

Reserves play tomorrow night at Wakefield, they've mentioned a double-header on their website.

I'd bring bowden in for fash and manu in for Thompso if he's fit but make him play off the bench and leave hadley in the 2nd row after his performance at wire

Do we risk all for Giants or rest for next Thurs
We have form on resting players

We are in a great position to rotate over the next couple of weeks.

I wouldn't risk all, but we need to treat this as the important game that it is. A win this weekend would leave us in a really strong position. Someone out of Wakefield and Catalans has to drop points, Cas are unlikely to win. If we do our job then we are in a good place with a decent run of winnable games ahead of us in the next month or so.

Do what we need to do to win this game. Then we have lots of options to rotate for the quick turnaround should we need to. The squad will be announced soon, that should give us a better idea.

Savalio still not fit, thought be might at least.got a run in the reserves tonight.

No need to rush him Dave, as we now have a good fit squad, and it’s nice to see Tag Josh Chris Danny all back at long last, we’re looking in a good place now.

Giants sponsored by Trev’s shed erections

Hull will win this one.

Houghton not playing but still should have enough today

wonder if litten will come in or if he'll go with washbrook again

If Houghtons out, Litten should be in the 17, otherwise it's pointless having him in the squad.

played for the reserves the other night so either radford thought houghton would play or litten is down the pecking order - maybe he has signed elsewhere ?

Once again in the Doncaster squad, must have had an idea about Houghton think he could still do 40 mins today.
