Wire injuries are
Dodds - out for 6 months (double leg break)
Wheeler - out (detached Achilles)
Bailey - out (Achilles)
Laithwaite - out (leg injury)
Harrison - out for the season (knee/leg)
Clark - maybe back on Friday
With the strength in depth we've got I'm happy with the team we CAN put out - even if Clark doesn't play.
I think we'll go with the same 17 as v Cats with Clark (or Philbin) replacing Dodds.

I heard you guys were down on numbers. Can anyone advise please?

Shenton out for season. Jnr Moors 6 weeks away. Millington and Roberts might be back for easter games. Holmes could be back for friday. Dorn could miss friday through an injury picked up yesterday.

Assuming the following are still out our team is so average, Millington Roberts Moors Holmes Shenton Dorn Mariano . No way can we go away and compete with an unbeaten side. I appreciate wire have injuries too but not the same quality or x factor missing. Bailey injured is a positive and that's speaking from experience!

Will hill get a cheeky ban?

Hill will be OK I think. (Actually Hughes has a bigger case to answer - both stupid ''tackles'').

Also missed out 'Westwood' - having an ankle injury.
Ben Evans is allegedly injured, but I think he's had 2 games in the reserves so could be brought in.

Wire are definitely stronger based on your feedback, but stranger things have happened.

Attitude speaks volume - just ask Saints (against Salford)!
