Chance to see Bienek tonight, see how he goes! Connor - 1, McNamara - 6 and Sneyd - 7

These are missing.......

Joe Cator, Jordan Lane, Masi Matongo, Gareth Ellis, Albert Kelly, Ratu Naulago, Danny Houghton, Josh Jones, Scott Taylor, Josh Jones, Adam Swift, Manu Ma’u, Kieran Buchanan and Jamie Shaul.

So......

2. Bureta Faraimo
3. Carlos Tuimavave
4. Josh Griffin
6. Jake Connor
7. Marc Sneyd
10. Chris Satae
13. Ligi Sao
16. Jordan Johnstone
19. Brad Fash
22. Josh Bowden
23. Andre Savelio
24. Mahe Fonua
25. Connor Wynne
26. Lewis Bienek
30. Jack Brown
31. Cameron Scott
34. Charlie Patterson-Lund
35. Ben McNamara
36. Jude Ferreira

In fairness to our squad depth, that isn't a terrible side we are able to put out given the players available.

I'd be tempted to put Wynne on the wing for some pace and put Connor at full back.

Connor, Faraimo, Fonua, Carlos, Scott, McNamara, Sneyd, Bowden, JJ, Sao, Griffin, Savelio, Fash

Wynne, Bienek, Satae, Brown

Josh Jones, so good they named him twice.

So did I.

Drop Bowden, promote Brown and bring Paterson Lund onto the bench as he is a back rower.

Is the match being televised tonight. I cant seem to find it in the Sky tv guide. Thanks

I recon we will get a fine and deducted 6 points for failing to name our team in time

Yes - will just replace the Leeds v Cas game that was gonna be on SKY

Thank you

Unfortunately yes. I''ll be watching from behind the sofa (again).

Sky sports mix for anybody that can't find it.

my first response was why? but then when i looked at the bigger picture i applauded the decision, fair play to all at FC , i hope we can get behind the team tonight win or lose, COYH

Yes its the only reason the club have agreed to play tonight as they receive good money from SKY for a Thursday night match

There is no bigger picture other than receiving much needed money from Sky

One advantage is that is relieves some of the fixture congestion at the end of the month. We were due to play

Sunday 18th Cas (H)
Thursday 22nd Catalans (A)
Sunday 25th Leeds (H)
Thursday 29th Rovers (A)

Interesting team selection I quite like the look of the team, is Taylor one of the covid cases?

Hope Connor nails it at fullback again

Bienek possibly playing for his FC career, time to show what you can do

Connor, Scott, Carlos, Fonua, Faraimo, McNamara, Sneyd, Sao, Johnstone, Bowden, Savelio, Griffin, Fash

Satae, Wynne, Bienek, Brown

see your point but i doubt that even came into consideration

Actually not a bad squad given the players missing. Biggest issue will be Fonua and Faraimo getting hammered by Gale. I’m usually not confident at all so my optimism with the 17 will probably turn into us getting absolutely mullered.

Although AP said it did.
