MORRO BACK SMURPH OUT... WHOS GOING? www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/sport ... _1_3670726

I'm going.

Was going to give it a miss after last time but with all the positivity surrounding the club over the last week I feel they deserve my support.

Also want to see how Tongia goes.

Two players return to the squad this week after injury and one player will be making his Super League debut with the Wildcats.

Club Captain Glenn Morrison will be back in action after a hand injury that has left the forward sidelined for a number of weeks. French hooker Julien Rinaldi is also returning to the squad after missing out on the Crusaders fixture due to injury. New signing Ryan Tongia will be making his first team debut in the red, white and blue after an impressive performance for the Reserves against Hull KR last week.

Centre Aaron Murphy is to miss the game due to a wrist injury and Matthew Blaymire and Luke George are also sidelined due to knee and ankle injuries respectively. Matthew underwent a knee operation on Thursday and Luke is awaiting the results of an ankle scan. Josh Griffin is also out of action with a knee injury.

Smith and one of Hendo or Masselot to miss out. Probably Masselot but he is contracted for next year and I'm not sure whether Hendo is so I would give Masselot his shot.
Lee gets the nod at Scrum half ahead of Smith for the same reason.

Fullback and threequarters kind of pick themselves as there aren't really any options.
Tony to rotate at hooker for me.

I'm flying to Portugal on Sunday, so it's a no from me; on balance, I probably don't mind that.

Tony in for me. Certainly not Tads Khlav

looking purely at the squad numbers, it is surprising that none of our original backline are available!

it just shows how much we have chopped and changed this season.

damage limitation on sunday, give it a go against cas and then roll on next season.....

Where's James Davey??

Moore not fit yet?
