For me Shaul would still get the nod for FB. Neither Wynne nor McIntosh looked comfortable at Wakefield after Connor left he field. If we were to move anyone from the their position to cover FB then I'd go for Swift as didn't look out of place doing so last time he covered FB.
With Carlos out then Scott comes in at centre or Mitch if fit as think BH will have Griffin will be on the bench or in 2nd row.
Joey to come in at 6 and Gale who must surely now be playing for his future more than ever so I'd hope to see a positive reaction from him.
Balmforth has to be added to the bench as his performances so far are deserving of a shot and he looks the part both in terms of talent and physique. With no Connor and a very stuttering HB we need to maximise what creativity we have and Balmforth gives us a dimension we've not had for years at 9 so after 20 mins rest Houghton and bring Balmforth on. I know it'll be against his old club but I don't think that will have any detrimental affect on game.
According to Hodgson in the HDM he states that Johnstone won't feature this weekend due to a knock he picked up but Swift is good to go and both Scott and LAne are back in contention.
