Think that would be the fans option but not sure Grix would drop Smith

I don't see Moy playing anywhere but full back and walker the better option currently. Moupy would get hammered in defence if he played hooker. The kid is tiny

So we are down King and sutty for the season. Both injuries rule them out.
Also, we could be with esse esse as well.

Jed isnout of his boot and running again, but won't be in the team this week. Chan is available, but looking at it, we have lost any size that we had.
Not good

Saints will be ending their losing streak this week

No Ese Ese, Sao and King V, we have no chance.

Will have the world's smallest set of props.

Fash, Aydin, Gardiner and Laidlaw

crikey

Moy
Briscoe
Walker
Carlos
Martin
Charles
Trueman
Aydin
Smith
Fash
Chamberlain
Lane
Gardiner

Laidlaw
Balmforth
Jebson
Chan

And ashworth

Could add Cartwright and Staveley in too, that's alot of size missing.

This season has been one calamity after another.
It's typical just as things were looking up a bit. Ah well, we'll just have to be content with another battling display on Saturday.
Try and stay in the game and you never know.

Player 51 incoming.

the only saving grace is saints are clueless with the ball. They will probably batter us into submission with a stronger forward pack though. For all of their bleating, their pack will be a decent one on saturday

Player 52 is houghton's unknown cousin

Need to get a shift on with the deadline on Friday although it seems that there's not much available.

Signed Leon Ruan from Leeds.

An extra body I suppose but someone who can't get a game in the current leeds side is hardly going to be pulling up any trees for us

was hoping for a hull win with the recent turnaround but looks unlikely with the absentees keeping the soreline respectful will do,, best wishes neil

Leeds backrow (on paper anyway) is decent Martin, Mcdonell and Bentley.

Don't know alot about him to be fair, no harm in signing him, another body amd a chance to see how he does, with an eye of maybe signing him long term.

I dont suppose it matters in the long run,Its an extra body and we are down to bare bones, but a very inexperienced young forward who in reality wont be able to make any difference on the field.
Wouldnt surprise me to see a sub 8000 gate on Saturday

if you ask the guys on the Doncaster forum you will get a better idea.
Think he was good for them but it was Div 1 rugby not Championship

Ruan would be an extra body who maybe has a point to prove and would allow us to move Chamberlain into the centres.

I'm hoping for a decent turn out after that magnificent Wigan win. With Grix at least we've become more organised and shown some resilience in defence.

I'm quite looking forward to it!

The team deserve a good turn out after the Wigan performance. Humber Street Sesh will probably knock a few off the gate though.

should be a routine win for the saints with the team we're likely to field

Still think we have a chance, hopefully Ese Ese plays.

Leeds fans on their forum, seem disappointed with Ruan leaving.
