Goes without saying that this is a big test, another shortish turnaround before a longer gap to the cup game. Be interesting as to whether we put our eggs in the cup basket and err on the side of caution for this game's selection regarding players with slight knocks etc. I doubt we will though, doesn't seem to be Hodgson's mentality.
If no further injuries other than Bowden, just replace him with Brown, and if Faraimo is banned I guess Fonua comes straight in. If Griffin is out we go with Scott. Sneyd is a tricky one though. If Wynne hadn't gone on loan we'd maybe go with Connor to partner McNamara and Wynne FB but don't know what happens then.
Start of a tricky run of fixtures this. Looking forward to seeing how we go.

I don't expect all of those guys to be missing, I think Griffin and Sneyd will be fine. But if we get a worst case scenario we would probably need to move Tuimavave into the halves and give Vulikijapani (sp?) a debut.

It's actually not a bad side. It's still a good pack that should keep us competitive. Connor would need to pull out one of his really special performances for us to be able to create enough against Wigan though, but he's due a big one after a couple of patchy performances. Hopefully it doesn't come to that and Sneyd and Griffin are fit.
Eyes on the cup, give Sneyd a rest, and leave Jake out at the pie dome. If Josh Bowden a doubt try another young academy lad D
Think you are miles off with that team. Undoubtably there will be changes if Hodgson decides to give players with niggles a rest given another relatively short turnaround. Fonua is likely to come in for a banned Faraimo and if Griffin is out we may see our new Vulcan. Eyes for sure on the cup.Reynolds running again so the club look to be trying to get him fit for this game.

Winning is a habit, we try to win every game. There is a good long break between this one and the cup game so no reason to be resting anyone unless they have a knock.
