Agree, it could be a sort of blessing in one way. Keeps Byrne interested / motivated (not that i am saying he isnt)in the early part of the season, and hopefully gives Hill game time too. So when Havard is fit, we'll hopefully have both Byrne and Hill still fit and can rotate them around off the bench

It will be interesting to see who Peet goes with as a starting prop alongside Thompson out of Byrne, Dupree or perhaps even Hill. Suspect it will be Byrne.

Yes, think it will be Byrne as he would be 3rd choice prop normally IMO, and can do big minutes. Then Dupree, Hill and Mago used as we did last season. I would think Matty Peet will be looking at giving Thompson and Byrne about 50 minutes in this game in preparation for next week, plus Dupree and Hill get a good run out too

Could we go with Walters for the time being not sure about how long he can do

Re: Sheffield Challenge Cup (A) : Thu Feb 06, 2025 10:29 pm  

Byrne and Thommo starting with Dupree, Mago and Hill on the bench.

Walters next in line for the bench spot should one of them miss.

Saw the interview now where Peet mentions it and calls it a massive blow for him and us. Didn't leave me feeling it's a minor one but we'll see. Every cloud and all that, it at least means we should be able to fit Harvie Hill in the side and I think he deserves that.

Did he say torn or pulled hamstring?

I think the massive blow might be in relation to missing vegas

Any news on Miski? I ain’t seen anything about him being injured. Maybe some issues back home

Re: Sheffield Challenge Cup (A) : Fri Feb 07, 2025 10:17 am  

Thought I'd read that those not in the squad were people who didn't respond well to the 3G surface that's in Sheffield?

Re: Sheffield Challenge Cup (A) : Fri Feb 07, 2025 12:36 pm  

I don’t think he played in any other of the pre season games. I think he has issues with his knee. 3G pitch fingers crossed no silly injuries

Yeah, Peet confirmed Miski and Wardle don't deal well with the artificial pitches and won't be risked but they're fine.

Don't Wakey have an artificial pitch as well? Guessing they will miss that game too.
