But that is part of the issue for us.
Missing 2 is bad. Missing 2 in same position means you have your 3rd choice playing.
All our injuries are in the backs. Makes it tough to cover.

Which is exactly the same for a lot of teams. Our opponents on Friday have exactly the same problem with fullback/stand off with at least 5 players out who play those positions. It happens, it’s how you deal with it that counts.

Interesting you've picked Gaskell above Miller, you fearing a conflict of interest?

Centre is a tough one. Gaskell played really well in centre vs saints so it’s going to be difficult to choose between him and hall. I’d probably go Hall with the fresh legs.

You are still looking strong in the forwards if your lads stand up to the challenge.

Your half backs are good too and may enjoy our small pitch.

If your backs can stay with ours who knows.....

Not sure if you watched our Hull game but Eden was class in the halves on the left with Olpherts, Fonua and Kenny Edwards so your right edge has to be ready.

Have you seen our half backs ?

We have young lads on the left edge at 19/20 with approximately
20 games between them. Our right edge probably 30 or so games between them and again two young lads. For the games they have they’re doing well this year.

Eden seemed to relish playing in the halves and Harrison will be chuffed to find someone who can cover.

Forwards v Backs, interesting game

For once the narrow pitch may help us a little. We are leaking like crazy on the flanks so it may help us tighten up our defence, especially if we defend as we did against Saints, and that is about as good as we get.
