It will be interesting to see who Peet goes with as a starting prop alongside Thompson out of Byrne, Dupree or perhaps even Hill. Suspect it will be Byrne.

Yes, think it will be Byrne as he would be 3rd choice prop normally IMO, and can do big minutes. Then Dupree, Hill and Mago used as we did last season. I would think Matty Peet will be looking at giving Thompson and Byrne about 50 minutes in this game in preparation for next week, plus Dupree and Hill get a good run out too

Could we go with Walters for the time being not sure about how long he can do

Byrne and Thommo starting with Dupree, Mago and Hill on the bench.

Walters next in line for the bench spot should one of them miss.

Did he say torn or pulled hamstring?

I think the massive blow might be in relation to missing vegas

Any news on Miski? I ain’t seen anything about him being injured. Maybe some issues back home

Thought I'd read that those not in the squad were people who didn't respond well to the 3G surface that's in Sheffield?

I don’t think he played in any other of the pre season games. I think he has issues with his knee. 3G pitch

fingers crossed no silly injuries

Yeah, Peet confirmed Miski and Wardle don't deal well with the artificial pitches and won't be risked but they're fine.

Don't Wakey have an artificial pitch as well? Guessing they will miss that game too.

Wakefield's pitch is a hybrid, like many premiership grounds. Almost all grass, with some fibres woven into it. It caused abrasions last year as the grass hadn't started growing enough so the root zone was more prominent.

Do the hybrids not cut up as easy? 3G pitched would be great for rugby if it didn’t involve the physical side of things. Also imagine the knee injuries are quite high on them
