... or maybe Shaul isn't fit to play.

Bingo!

What worries me about this, is that we drop off around 60 minutes when Houghton gets tired.

JJ needs to step up tonight

So, by my reckoning, Reynolds, Cator and Shaul have dropped out from the derby 17, and JJ, Macca and Fonua are now playing.

So if Satae plays, someone else has dropped out?

Brown

I guess playing again on Monday will be part of the selection process.

It's a lot to ask of Shaul I suppose after being out for so long, sensible saving him for Monday.

I'd honestly use Connor Wynne from the bench at hooker as an alternative, Johnstone brings zero speed to the ruck. Hodgson obviously wants speed against tired legs.

Bit disappointed Fonuas back in the match day squad, doesn't send a good message out after breaking protocols before a Derby in what was a huge match with regards to keeping our season alive.......

That and he's been poop. Let's hope he leaves the bravado and ego at home tonight and plays with his brain

Not confident with that one.

Have I missed something? I’ve seen the 21 man squad, which has Shaul in it but haven’t seen a team announced or is this conjecture on someone’s part.
