1600 sold and another allocation just received. Should be a good 2000 there.

Assuming the returnees are properly fit you want to play them.


Pitts needs to play


I might save Rodwell as I wouldn't drop McM Atoni or Hamlin-Uele, so it's a question on Faatili and I think he's been getting progressively better.
Depends if we have knocks.


Rourke is a straight swap into no.1 shirt.


Cam Scott, again assuming he is genuinely fit but hard to drop one of the centres.
As he can play SR and we are weekend there I'd put him on the bench with Croft and Griffin starting, coming on for Griffin (or the other way around)

I have a bench of Atoni, Faatili, Rodwell and Smith 


I'd leave Griffin out,  he's been out a very long time and was becoming a bit of a liability in the Championship. Scott I'd rather give a few more weeks with his history so Cozza and Croft to start in the 2nd. Both have good engines. 

I think it’s important that we consistently have good field position so have taken M Russell over Walmsley.
With good field position we can play to the edges more often where I think we have the advantage.
Second rowers will need to be 100% fit and capable of strong defence against Hull back row where Cartwright in particular will be a threat.
We’ve still got a superb starting front row with solid players coming off the bench.
Only returning player for me is Rodwell, I’ve got him on the bench but depending on how we want to control his warm up I may toyed with starting him.
It’s whether we want to fully warm him up, massage, stretching etc and start him or give him an abbreviated warm up off the bench & down the touchline.

Russell and Walmsley are interchangeable, but that's my team.
