A few missing v London : Thu Mar 14, 2024 3:38 pm  

I know the squad isn't out until tomorrow but Burgess has confirmed no Williams (injured), no Fitzgibbon (family leave due to bereavement) and a couple of others who are likely to be missing too due to 'off-field issues'. Ratchford and Hayes in the halves. Be an interesting challenge on Sunday. I like the way London play but they make too many errors.

More here https://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/sp ... y-reasons/ Glad to hear Nicholson is only a couple of weeks away (probably Catalan at home, and Tai a week or two after that. Be interesting to see the team selected, difficult to predict as he's kept his cards close to his chest other than Fitz and Williams. I'm hoping we can keep Currie at 13, though SB might prefer to move Currie to left back row to offer that threat, Powell would certainly had done that, with Crowther brought in at 13. I'm half expecting Burgess to bring in Tupea to partner Holroyd in the back row.

Not really sure what to make of Burgess's comments regarding the 'off-field issues' stuff. He later seemed to imply that it was more a case of those players simply being rested. Hopefully whatever team we put out, we can get the job done. I watched the highlights from London's game against Wigan, and they conceded a lot of tries through very soft defence through the middle and close to their own line. Vaughan might fancy a try or two...if he's playing.

Currie back to the Left, Crowther at 13 with Wood on the Bench, With Bullock and Either Philbin or Musgrove, Both about on par performance wise so far. And Powell.

I wouldn’t mind King moving in one to second row on the left and let Lindrop have a game in the centre. Williams for Ratchford is a straight swap and keep the system as close to what has been working as possible.

Maybe Thewlis will get a rest , new baby and all, perhaps that's some of the personal issues Sam is talking about

Don't dare mention putting king in the second row on here!
