Going to take a massive performance to progress in the cup this year - tough draw and forward injuries racking up. On the positive side it sounds like Carlos will be good to go following his head knock on Thursday and signs are that Reynolds will be back. Assuming no further action against Connor something like
Connor Swift Griffin Tuimavave Fonua Reynolds Sneyd Satae Houghton Sao Lane Savelio Cator
Johnstone Brown Fash Scott
I think with Taylor, Bowden, Ma'u and Matongo missing we're down to our last forwards with squad numbers so they self select, question is whether we start shifting players round eg Griffin to back row. Anyone heard whether we might get a timely boost with Ma'u? Bench looks weak against a relentless Wigan but if we don't start with our best forwards I fear the game will be over early. Good that we get a decent turnaround for this one, looking forward to it.

Manu Ma'u has a chance apparently. Not ruled out as yet.
I guess early next week we'll get an update on Taylor and Bowden although Brett Hodgson suggested that Bowden will be out for upwards of six weeks. Any more forwards out and we'll have to promote from the Academy. Radford's son, perhaps or Aiden Burrell has been mentioned as a good prospect.

One good thing about our pack, is that they look fit, so can do big minutes
They certainly do and think Satae looks a real handful and is doing longer stints.
Hopefully Tag isn’t too serious and he’s back soon and a real shame for Bowden as I thought he’d started to look like the player of a few seasons ago.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!
