So....
We managed to beat Wakefield (just) with only 2 specialist props. I fear we won't be beating Quins if we play the same squad at the weekend. Anyone know the progress of Jackson and Walker? I can't see us winning another game until one or both of these are back.

We could definitely do with some power up front, Holmes had ice on his bicep after the Wakey game too

Surely we could spell him from the bench?? We are in the brown stuff. Even if he only does two 15 minute spells it would help! Jackson had a back spasm 2 weeks ago. Surely he is ok now too?

I wonder if we expressed an interest in taking Riley on loan - good player with a decent turn of pace; and Cas is a bit more local than the Southern Clowns.

You can play NO props and you'd probably still beat us

By all accounts you had a good go at Leeds. That's more than we did! Thank god Dorn is out. He always scores against us.

Why would we want Riley? It's forwards we're light on. If we were struggling for wingers or backs, i'd like to see Eden / JT get a shot. Unless you know something I don't and that Riley can play front row!

Whilst we're struggling in the front row, we're still short of one or two in the three-quarters. That said Jordan Thompson's been impressive when he's played. With him and Riley we could've formed a Ginger Alliance on the right wing!

JT = Best second rower in our team

Was / Is McGoldrick injured? Not that i'm overly bothered, don't see a spot for him unless he can play prop, which he can't because he's woeful at tackling.
