Absolutely. My worry is that Moose and Sam could either or both leave us skinny in the following weeks.

…and Dudson, how could I forget Dudson.
Noob head.
But my post was right about the fear of the liabilities

It will be a test next week, who comes in for Dudson would say probably Philbin but he could also be on a ban.

I like the way the video ref today cleverly feigned neutrality by awarding the penalty try, but then showed his true allegiance by denying the Cats try at the end. And the reason Dudson gave that wry smile as he walked off was because he’d agreed with the ref earlier to do something to get sent off, to leave Saints fans in a false sense of security, thinking they’re not the only team to get players sent off. Fascinating stuff.

Actually disappointed with Redvee I thought the Dudson red card would have gotten it’s own thread on there.

Still think we can win both these games. But if I was forced to take a loss I’d think I would take Wigan and beat Saints. But like I said I think we can still win both and then a lot of the lads get a week off for the international.

Sooooo who starts with Vaughan now, can’t see it being Kasiano.

Re: The big test! : Mon Apr 10, 2023 3:00 pm  

And hope Bullock is back for the Saints game at least.

4 forwards out and 1 gone home. I know we will learn more on Wednesday what squad we have but would you start one of the youngsters alongside Vaughan.

I'd say McGuire with Mata'utia starting at 13 (assuming no other missing bodies due to injury)

Good call, can see that happening.
