Tupou

Finn needs to have his operation (or whatever is needed) to fix his finger. Stop playing him injured, it's clearly not working.
Horo blows too hot and cold and certainly offers no more than Batchelor
Arona has gone off the boil this season
Tupou is a threat but that seems to be lessening as the season progresses - on a quick pitch I'd rather have Arundel who can put TJ away

If Rocky isn't doing it at scrum half then we can move Woody to there and move Randell to hooker

Joe Arundel is out for at least 12 weeks.

I don’t know what injuries Widnes have after their game with Saints but they looked a handful so we will have to be on form Friday.

CC must be tearing his hair out as a lot of the 'winnable games' have been lost.
Unfortunately, there is now pressure that wasn't there earlier in the season.
I agree, this is a must win game, but we'll have to see much improvement to win it!

Why would we GIVE YOUTH A CHANCE at this stage of the season? Surely it's experience we need to see us through this rough patch.

Would you really want to GIVE YOUTH A CHANCE with our upcoming fixtures?? :CRAZY:

it is the so called experienced players who have put us were we are Kirmo and Finn are not up to S L standed Hirst as been poor this season Horo as not been the player we though he was.These players were the ones that played against the so called smaller teams .We won the first 4 did not play well but put it down to the wet pitches.Now we have hard pitches we seem to be getting slower at passing ball/ moving forward while passing ball.Rocky Jowitt ,Batch have Had to play against the likes ofHull,Leeds,Cas and with a few 50 50 calls we could have won them all.So why Should they not be given a chance.Widnes and Leeds are doing it now and both seem to be faster than us at moving the ball .

Widnes gave a good account of themselves against Saints, but came undone - certainly didn't disgrace themselves against the best side in the comp; if they play like that against us, I can't see us having enough to get the win. Unless of course there is some remarkable turnaround and we can suddenly defend properly, put on an attacking play and stop giving away stupid penalties.

Tough one - we both need the win - league position would suggest we're favourites, but our recent form is dreadful.
