Is any team ever truly full strength anymore?

Let's stop worrying about opponents having full teams out .H K R had 3 main forwards out they smash us.Wires had very near a full team out ,because of the attitude of our team we won .It will depend on the attitude of our team wether we beet Cas or not

Matuatia
Shenton
Clare
Trueman
Richardson
Watts
McShane
Smith
Holmes
Blair
Massey

Millington

On this we agree. In the modern full time game an average number of injuries shouldn’t stop any team playing. Yes key injuries means you can’t play to your absolute best but you can still play with commitment and professionalism.

Injuries are an issue obviously but they can’t be allowed to become an excuse.

Arona was standing next to TC for the duration of the Wire match and TC asked him when he would be back....he replied 3 weeks.

I heard that too

Said three weeks and would be back for Hull

Very surprised not to see Dave back
I can not assume he’s not quite fit yet

For what it’s worth
I would drop batch and Dave to prop
Tanginoa to bench as impact back row replacing Batch

My thoughts entirely, the team is good enough to take on all comers. When they run out on the field and their attitude is right we will be in with a good shout tonight

Keep expecting Dave to be dropped into the squad, as they have done quite a few times previously with him but I believe this season we would lose an interchange if we make any changes to the 21 on game day.

From what Chester has said, Dave and Green are fit to play - But he is rewarding the team for the performance they put in against Wire, personally I would have both in the team for tonight but I understand the reasoning behind not changing a winning team.
