Forget the dual role business. Just complicates things and adds little IMO. Let Kearney concentrate on FB. Effectively were playing with one half in attack, with Kearney, addy and the hookers making up for lack of a proper standoff. Sykes is in purely for kicking and to make up numbers in defense. Hopefully this will be a chance for Addy or Bateman to stake a real claim for 13 spot and combined with prop shortage will force Langley to be moved into front row permanently when he returns.

Agreed Mat.

I don't think it complicates things to have Kearney defending at FB but taking on more responsibility in attack.

Nor do I so long as everyone's clear who's doing what. However I do think we may struggle with Sammut out as he was involved in a lot of our better attacking play last week.

Tbf Kearney already does plenty in attack from FB.

He'll be a big loss. I'm just praying that this weekend isn't the round that BJ goes missing! We need a big effort from him, BK and our hookers to have a chance of turning over St Helens.

I do worry that have both 1st choice playmakers out will be a step too far. St Helens will put in a quality performance before too long, I can't help but fear it could well be this weekend.

You have played better than us though in the last few weeks. What makes you think we will get the 2 points?

Two key players are out for us this week - Sia & Roby. Best two players this season so far for us imo.
