Both Gale and Lino in the 21 man squad Trueman not surprisingly not selected as some fans were hoping

Good to see Lino back although it will upset EW and his one man Lino Out campaign.

Pauli Pauli (suspended for this game) is a big loss for Doncaster

Expect this to be a dress rehearsal of our playoffs. Jowitt back to FB, Lino and Gale to partner in the halves. Doyle and Hood injured obviously but Powell reckons they’ll be back for the semi, so reckon Smith and Kay will spell at dummy half.

Big question for me is which two wingers are selected for the last three games. Harsh on any of the three to miss out, but that’s sport I guess. And if everyone’s fit - who makes the cut in that last bench spot, Kay or Vagana?

Kay. No question. Can cover several positions in case of injury, and has the heart of a lion. Vaganas time will come, but Kay is right player, right time and right place!

Can’t argue with that. Would provide cover if any winger, half back or hooker goes down. Stops that from being a possible turning point in a big game.

Re: Doncaster home : Fri Sep 27, 2024 8:06 pm  

Think Kay will be on the bench and rotate at hooker with Harvey Smith

Sentiment aside it’d be Vagana every time for me.

You can’t and should t carry two hookers on bench or any player just in case of injury.

Vagana can cover SR or Prop. A lot of our success has been down to forward power. That’s needed more than ever in the finals.

I won’t be upset, and it’s barely a Lino out campaign, mate, and even if it was, reading a lot of views on other SM streams, I don’t think I’m the only one who isn’t convinced about him.

I’ll be honest, he needs to play, to prove some match fitness for the play offs
