Lomax, flannery and Makinson all out with dead legs this week, eastmond also still out!

Those dirty Pies. Knees in the tackle was obviously a tactic from them at the weekend.

No Lomax or Eastmond means 6 Pryce 7 Gaskell, which is fine, another combo to add to the list.

No Flannery is no big deal, just means a useless kid on the bench. Makinson will mean Sia has to play centre to move Meli over or Armstrong will come in on the wing. Could we not give Brotherton a gallop?

Is Forster playing again? I'd like to see him on the bench to make up for Flanders's absence.

The halves will be fine with the above partnership. The long kicking game will help in the face of Huddersfields strong defence.

If we play as good a forward game as we did against Wigan, we should be win through, even if Huddersfield turn up with their A game, which I don't think particulary they are doing at the moment.

Any news on the (Wagon)Wheels?

My last memory of Armstrong is that he isn't very good under the high ball ...

Looks like even badly injured players won't get rest. http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/st ... -29196356/

When he got his first run in the team, he always looked pretty safe under kicks. The couple of games he had this year he did drop one. I think he got played at full back a couple of times, at the DW for one.
I don't think its a worry.

He started at fullback at KC and was awful under the high ball and looked unconfident under the high ball.

Seems familar. There was one game were he went of with a cut and whoever replaced him looked safer - is that right?
To be fair, he's a centre by choice.
