Can we get back on topic please? Garbutt back for Rovers, alongside Mulhern and Jewitt, at prop is a genuine boost. We know we had no props last week, so do we know when we are likely to hear about Taylor, Matongo, Bowden, Green? I assume Paea at least will be back. As said on another thread, given Ellis' shift last weekend wonder whether he might play Monday instead?

Why do you keep saying you had no props when you did and this week you’ll have at least five available so stop with all the crap it’s boring

Lee Jewitt being fit is about as big a boost as them naming me in the squad.

Our first choice 5 props are Taylor, Paea, Bowden, Green and Matongo., none of them played last week. I don't believe these 5 will all be available. I see Rovers on the other hand are rumoured to be adding Amor into Friday's squad. Garbutt, Mulhern, Amor and Jewitt would be a very handy set of props IMO.

Well they seem to like him

Lets see what the squads are and then we can talk about timely boosts etc. We know Paea will be available. I would be pretty surprised if Taylor and Masi are not included, perhaps another aswell. Even if we end up with something like Taylor, Ellis, Paea and Brown, then it's pretty well balanced imo.

I got the impression Matongo was medium term, and Taylor didn't look great at Salford but strapping could have been precautionary. These aren't really comeback games after months out so think your proposed set of props probably not far off.

unlucky . amor is injured

I hope Jewitt does player. A very average player who seems to struggle to control his temper at times. Always good for a few penalties when he trys to play the tough guy.

Apparently Masi is doing a rock climbing challenge in St Stephens today so his shoulder can't be that bad.

Green and Bowden not expected back until after Easter according to the HDM. I wonder if either will line up for the reserves this week.

Fash back from loan so I expect he'll feature at some point.

We should be fine in the middles for Friday. I bumped into Lee Crooks in Perpignan who said he was hitting the gym this week just in case he was needed....

Substituted by Lane.

He wouldn’t let us down either

To get back on topic how many GENIUNE injuries do you have, and are you worried?

Some high IQ's about tonight.

A lot. Atkin believes you'll win the next 3 and he's been part of excellent training in a buzzing camp, so I'm not really in a position to argue with that level of confidence/certainty.

I don't think we have any geniune injuries.

We have a few genuine ones though.

That's not what he said is it. You could be a politician Mrs B, especially with the current crop we have. The way you spin and take things out of context for impact and gamesmanship is a skill in it's self.

They all talk a load of **** n all

Definitely missing are Watts, Miloudi and Langtree plus Sneyd won’t be too bothered now.

Our left edge with Griffin and Connor against Cats looked dangerous so hopefully we get to see that on Friday.

Change Lane for Hadley and you've cracked it, Can see Green, Brown, Hadley, Savelio, Litten, Ratu, Thompson and Washbrook all playing monday

Worth mentioning that until Westerman pulled out last week Hadley wasn't going to play at all. Lane and Brown had got the nod ahead of him.

I reckon Superbowl Scott's team looks pretty good to me.
