Imagine Fash may have his 2nd stint at second row replacing Sao, who I doubt could do 80 mins

Has Sutcliffe been that bad?

Remember him missing 2 or 3 earlier on in the year with a rib injury and the last few weeks with his knee, but he's played more that he's missed

Sao and Lane capable of full 80’s, but granted giving them a rest at some stage would be ideal

Wonder if Savelio was a late call, seems strange to have our two backrowers out and have our only two other backrowers (except Lane) playing for the reserves.

Could Gardener or Brown do a spell there.

Just looked, this will be the 5th game he has missed, not as bad as I thought. Just seems to get niggles, same at Leeds.

Already underdogs with the bookies, now 2 of our best drop out. So that's Griffin, Savelio; Sutcliffe all missing, Taylor not match fit, and if they are claiming Coote as an absentee we'll have Evans. Lordy.

I doubt it and it would be a big ask for either of them. It would have been a big call but it’s a shame Gardiner isn’t starting because he strengths are way more suited to starting games and than coming off the bench hoping to make an impact

Shaul to hooker, Houghton to backrow?

Have you been hacked by bonaire?

Just trying to lighten the mood

Cator can do a job in the back row, put Mint to 13 for a spell. Just means scott and carlos will be doing a lot of work driving the ball in

Shaul
Mcintosh
Carlos
Scott
Swift
Trueman
Clifford
Taylor
Houghton
Fash
Lane
Sao
Cator

Satae
Brown
Dwyer
Gardiner

Gutted Savelio is missing. Think he would have had a field day running at Lewis.
Having said that, I think they play on different sides anyway

No Hoy, surley he plays, Smith said he could have played last week.

If he is out, that definitely tips the game in Rovers favour.

Ellam named Hoy previously so hopefully he is actually playing

For all of their banging on about injuries, we're not exactly going to be full strength with Sutcliffe, Savelio, Griffin and Vulikijapani missing and Doubts over Hoy and Taylor it should be fairly even on the injury front.

Hoy is holding a bag arriving at craven Park. Savelio doesn't

No Savelio or Sutcliffe, Fash to backrow, Hoy starts, 3 props on the bench

Real concerns about the back row today.

I'm a big Savelio fan but another game missed due to injury. Not going to do his chances of a new deal any good.

Feel the same. For all their moaning about missing players they still have plenty of threats

Woul le have felt more comfortable with Savelio and Sutcliffe in there but still a team capable of winning if the attitude and desire is right.
Think it will be a close game either way. Rovers still have some strike players particularly in the backs.
2nd row looking a real weakness for us today.

Must have been late calls as otherwise you’d think that Staveley would have been in the 21 man squad.

With such a weak SR it’s certainly going to be a tough ask today.

That pitch is shocking and embarrassing

Poor start
