I'm with you 100% on this. We all know the RFL are prone to making stupid decisions, but this wasn't one of them. They arranged the game early and one would have thought the chairmen would have arranged to leave this weekend free, but they chose not to.'"
To be fair I don’t blame the clubs in trying to maintain a league schedule, I’m all for international rugby and the concept of the mixed nations to give a test to England. However after the financial impact the pandemic has had on all clubs and the game as a whole it would have been sensible to postpone the international fixture. Without the clubs the game is screwed so they must take priority.
I would question the importance of the fixture too with the NRL contingent missing and other players as already mentioned re Roby. If it where a month or two before the World Cup then I’d have more sympathy for England/RFL but there’s 4 months to go yet.
I also question when Huddersfield have lost 5 and are severely depleted why St’s overseas contingent are notable absentees particularly when their game is no longer on.
When you lose players to the England side that's one thing but to also lose players to a mixed national side too is a very big ask at a time when the clubs are struggling.

| How is there only one player(Hastings) playing for Combined Nations from the top 4 amazing that, the teams chairman who run the game get their say again. I can to some see why Wigan(2 in England Squad), Wire(5) and Catalans(2) who have games get away with it but what about Saints(4) no game no players where's Grace, Naiqama. Matu'utia and Passi.
Anyways my team would be
Swift
B
Scott
Fonau
Logan
Grub
Sneyd
Sao
Mint
Brown
Lane
Ma'u
Cator
Subs
JJ
Macca
Fash
Wynne

For me I'd leave Swift on the wing where he is playing very well for us this season and put Wynne in at FB.

I've only got Scott on the bench due to him not necessarily being fully fit and him coming back from his shoulder injury.

| Interesting that Scott might be fit again. It sounded like a bad injury. Ferreira is fit again too and could be considered.
Swift will probably be FB. And if he is then Wynne could stay at centre where he did well last week. But he has been training on the wing and would slot in there if Scott, Ferreira or Logan are preferred at centre.

| If you think we've got problems Hudds can only name a 13 man squad!
It's beyond daft but looks like the game is going ahead.
Wonder if we could throw JJ in at 13 for a stint? Like the Storm do with Hectic Cheese? Start with Cator then shift him to prop.

They only need 13
We once beat Leeds with eleven men on the Boulevard.

JJ to do a stint at 13
Maybe Fonua/Faraimo/Scott to do a shift in the pack with Logan and Mitch to come onfor the last 20.
Hopefully we can start fast and rack up some points. But you just know it'll end up a disjointed mess for both teams though.
We need to get through both games injury free too

Looks like the computer system for publishing squads wasn't written with Covid in mind. So they will add names as they are cleared to play. It sounds legit but a very confusing week is going to get even more confused.

| I don't see how postponing could be an option, doing so would mean it would need to be replayed during the week at some point, We have 5 games next month already unless it's played on cup final weekend.
It's ridiculous super league have put both teams in the position where they struggle to put out a team in order to play a meaningless international friendly.

| Doesn't look nearly as bad as it did a couple of days ago.
Still lacking in the forwards but we can put out a decent backline even with the players missing.
I'm looking forward to see Scott get a run at centre, he has looked promising on his appearances so far this year.
I also don't blame the club for turning down a postponement either.

Leeds postponed there game with Salford till the Sunday.
I think some of the guys who are playing in the international game are backing up for them on the Sunday which is insane.
Some of there players might end up playing 4 games in 10/11 days.
How clubs and the game can go on about player welfare is beyond me.

| What's got me really worried is just how skint teams must be to put their players through all this.
After all that's happened I think some teams, maybe ours, are struggling and that's why we have too many fixtures. And not enough players.
