Given recent weeks, would not be better with Ellis from the bench, he hasn't got 80 minutes in him anymore?

No Brining for us.

Thats a very good looking 17 indeed. Going to be a very tough game.

Forgot we had Carney as well! Not too sure with Sau back where he'll go so he could replace Walne on the bench.

Going to be an exceedingly tough game this, especially without Kelly and Houghton.
Hopefully Talanoa will be good to go so we can stick Michaels at centre and Connor at halfback.

I can definitely see us losing our next two games against Salford and Leeds.

Hope you're wrong! (no offence)

So do I!

Salford seem to be very playing well atm and our ball retention needs to improve quick. Coupled with our patchy home form it leaves me nervous.

Surely you would keep Michaels on the wing and play Fonua centre?

Hope and think you will be wrong on the last point, I'll be disappointed if we lose on Friday.

Carlos, Kelly and possible Houghton back for Leeds game.

That's a good point and probably a better option now I think about it.

I just worry we'll run out of steam again and Salford will make us pay more than Wire did if we do I reckon. It might not be a bad thing if the first half remains an arm wrestle rather than running out to a big lead.

Yeah Radders seems confident Carlos will be back for at least one of the Easter games which is a boost and I think they as good as said Kelly will be back for Leeds.
He seemed rather more coy about Houghton so he could be back for Leeds or miss the entire Easter period.
