Looking forward to this despite both sides being a bit plagued by injuries and suspensions. We look very weak at prop and on the wings, and losing Gaskell really reduces our creativity. Could be an interesting line up. Edit - seems we Green and Wilson our loan props for another 3 weeks
McGowan Myers Arundal Gill Will Oakes/ Mackenzie Scurr - would be a full debut for either. Johnson/Jowitt/Moss Lilley Smith Souter Lawrence Fulton - glad he's made it over - not a moment too soon. Butler Davies
Ott (has he had his visa confirmed?) Appo Green Wilson
If we could somehow get Blackmore or Peposhi back that would help. Think Ebon Scurr is a few weeks off yet.

Looking forward to seeing how Fulton will go. I assume Ott is good to go if he's featured for the reserves. Corey Johnson didn't play for the Rhinos reserves this weekend so I assume he is back with us. Wilson and Green looked handy against Wakefield so hopefully they can kick on whilst they are with us.

Bit of expectation on the Bulls for this one, first home game for us so I hope the players are fired up and willing to put in the 80 minute effort that'll be needed to get a result.
Despite having so many injuries, feel like there's a bit of pressure to win this one. We can still name a strong team, Fax played on Sunday while we had a week off.
With us having the toughest opening set of fixtures possible, I think it's vital we get a win as soon as possible. It's not beyond the realms of possibility we lose all our first 5 fixtures. We don't have any freebies to ease ourselves into the season. But if we get a win against a play-off competitor, while the likes of Scurr, Gaskell, Doro etc are on the sideline, it sets us up for a good season.
But we've been average at best in the cup games, if we don't improve Fax will take the win.

A lot depends on how the spine plays since without Gaskell we seem to lack the knowhow to ask questions of the opposition defence and revert to Kear-ball on the 5th tackle where we try an aimless kick to Gill or hand the ball over.
Think MacKenzie Scurr's in with a shout of a debut on the wing.
