Massey & McGoldrick to miss out for me but that then leaves us desperately short on props. It'd be Jackson & Emmitt starting with a bench of a hooker plus three back rowers.

The forwards looking a little weakened now that Fozzard is missing as well as Chubs. Coupled with Peacock back for Leeds, could be a worrying weak point for us.

Yeah, plus even if JP doesnt make it we have 6 props named in the 19, all of which are pretty decent. Looking at the 2 teams its the 1st time I have been excited about us in a fair while now.

Any idea what's wrong with Foz and Clark?

That's definitely the weakest looking 19 we've named all season.

None Bonzo. Had assumed on Monday that they were rested but it seems not.

You mean Messiah and was that Danny McGuire you refer to as the Messiah ?
