I'd swap Clough with Roby, but apart from that, still a very good side.

Just a bit. We're pretty much relying on Puletua to make big yards for us. Maurie and Hargreaves were anonymous last week and will need to be alot better if we're to take the spoils this week.

If we win this one, it'll be a very good win.

It could the usual early season game we lose against an average team.

Id go with that

Could we use this early season game to give the kids a run out and see what they can do? Also interchange experienced members around during the game to see where they can play at a push considering our limited squad?

Wellens
Gardner
Gidley
Gilmour
Armstrong
Wheeler
Long
Hargreaves
Cunningham
Puletua
Wilkin
Flannery
Pryce

Clough
Fa'asavalu
Dixon/Ashurst/Frodsham
Roby

Your desperate to see Pryce at loose aren't ya?

So what the injuries to Graham and JC?

IIRC Graham was hamstring? or am i completely off the mark.

JC, well i'm assuming it is his knee(s). I really like JC, he's a great player when close to full fitness but i really don't think he is anywhere near fit. He could barely walk properly behind the sticks at the Wire game. I think he's going to be long term before he's remotely close to fitness.

As for the Hudds game. Even with a full team i think we'd struggle but with the squad i'd be more than happy to come away with anything.

Puletua is doing what Graham had to do last year.

Hopefully not playing 80 mins though.

He's "possibly" Saints best attacking weapon when he can be bothered... may aswell give him the role the entitles him to attack and pop-up whenever and wherever?

Graham hamstring
Cayless trapped nerve in his shoulder which was sustained falling in training

IIRC
