So that's Ma’u, Satae, Savelio, Faraimo, and Kelly missing from my 13 starting lineup.

Reading between the lines, it looks like there may be others (backs) doubtful as well.

for this match I would be tempted to move griffin to second row fonua to centre, Bench Masi, Bowden, johhson, lane/fash

Amor, Walmsley and MAkinson all named in the squad - plus Knowles who was named last week but didn't play.

Not sure whether they will all play but good news nontheless. Roby/Percy/Coote still big misses but much more like it this week.

Shame to see Hull missing so many - would have loved both at full strength.

Don't you get reduced interchanges if you tinker with the announced squad now?

With a few big forwards out for us, let's hope storm Dennis does its worst, and gets the game called off.

Something like

Shaul
Ratu
Carlos
Fonua
Swift
Connor
Sneyd
Taylor
Houghton
Sao
Jones
Griffin
Ellis

Lane
Bowden
Masi
Fash

Yes, but I'm not suggesting more tinkering, just that Buchanan, Wynne and Lund are unexpected additions to the squad, so maybe they are covering for players we thought would play?

Strong enough squad to get a result although it will be really tough. Kelly savelio farimo due back next week. COYH

Bench is light but it's still a strong 13. Id be happy with a comitted performance that proves we've turned the corner and not get a good hiding. Pinching the 2 points would be a bonus.

Bookies can't split them
10/11 - Hull
10/11 - Saints
