It’s intriguing who will be in the 17 and makes a massive change from previous seasons of it practically been nailed on every week. Question is who do you drop if anyone. With Fonua, Kelly, Houghton & Swift still to come in it’ll be interesting.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

I know it goes against the "don't change a winning team" philosophy, but I think we should use the quality squad we have (Saints last year seemed to use their squad very wisely throughout the year). It might mean that we don't burn out - either physically or mentally - like we seem to have done in the past few seasons at the business end. I'd also be tempted to play the ex-Rovers players in this match (Taylor, Kelly and even Cator) and Fonua, Houghton and Swift. So long as the players truly buy into the 'squad' idea and Radders is true to the principal, it could be a good differentiator for us over the season.

If it was after 6 games I would agree, but not in game 2.

Dont know about Ellis but he will be back in the 17 on Friday
“Danny Houghton is our captain and he will come back into the 17 somewhere and for that reason there will be some changes in the side, but Danny doesn’t just walk straight back in easily.
“Danny is back and ready to play but he may not get into the starting line-up.

Danny in at Hooker, Kelly at 13, Johnstone on the bench?
