Same 17 as yesterday?

Webster rested..? took afew knocks yesterday espcially on his right shoulder which he seemed to hurt early on.

Mine would be same apart from Esders for mills. still dont think mills did enough yesterday to prove he can hack it.



*** and Stan for Macca****

I would go with (injuries & suspensions permitting):

Briscoe
Fox
Welham
Webster
Colbon
Cooke
Dobson
Vella
Fisher
Wheeldon
Newton
Galea
Murrell

Aizue
Fitzhenry
Netherton
Gene

Had a good chat with Rhys Lovegrove yesterday, He believes he's around 6wks away, he said he was with Chev at the hospital, who, he said got very good news, said he isn't to far away. but stan is still injured, was only put on the team sheet to get the Cats coaches thinking about plays to neutralize his play, and Fozzies nearly there now.

hes been to optimistic with that, heard its between 3 - 6 months out, surely he wont know until after surgery which he is having tuesday/wednesday i think.

still dont think any of them will be back for MM though!


(alot of thinks there

)

Interesting. Can't see Fozzard being rushed back into action until the Wigan game. If Stan isn't fit, same 17 as yesterday for me, providing the RFL dont do Clint for his "Chicken Wing" from yesterday!

I doubt very much Stan will be available.
Clint could get summoned.
I reckon Mills might retain his place seeing as its Wire next week and their big props.

Unfortunately I think Clint may get a ban for MM. Assuming the RFL cite him, it would be the second time he will appear before them for the same offence, so I'm not optimistic he will play this week.

I think Mills may have to be included in the 17 to nullify some of Wire's size in the pack. Looking at Mills' performance yesterday, he seems to trundle the ball in because he isn't taking a long enough run to catch the ball and plough it into the tacklers and win the collision. If he took the ball up with a head of steam, he will cause problems.

Think it's something that, between JM and the player, should be looked at and improved on. Look at the yards that our lighter props make i.e. Makka and Lovegrove because they are in full flight when they hit the ball up.

Also think Fisher needs to play the whole match. I have said his form was patchy last year and this becaue he was being spelled with Kirk and Fitzy. He almost played a full game yesterday and was his best match for some time. Keep it going Fish!

Excellent. I didn't get a clear view of the tackle, but saw Smith make the gesture when he awarded the penalty, and my paranoia kicked in. Same 17 at the weekend then?

Not sure but would the fact the offence was spotted and penalised during the game rule out him being cited by the panel?

No, some of them on there say "penalty sufficient" (Vincent Duport, for example). I'm not sure how they are chosen for review though... ?
