Noticed Mason was initially named in oldhams squad for this weekend- then was a last minute change and removed just before kick off. Wonder if that's down to someone else at the Giants being injured in training perhaps so Mason drafted in.

Missing:
Gale
McMeekan
Hardaker
Roberts
Patrick
Potentially missing:
Monaghan
Lynch
Springer

Thought I would update you that its not only the England boys we have missing. Make shift team. Rangi our only fit halfback. Probably will be partnered with McShane and Milner at 9. Eden may play full back so Brough could have a field day with some high bombs. Our bench will probably have 1 or 2 players on it who havent played this season for us at all.

So on Thursday you will be facing pretty much what our season has been like all year....

Yeah, or pretty much what our list was like for the vast majority of 2016. Some big hitters missing for us. I think it will be a close 1 for the cameras.

That's was me taking the mickey.

Given Castlefords absentees we should be looking for 2 points here. They only have 1 recognised half back aswell.

Another good win and then a break before the Catalans game - who knows we may have some new recruits by then???
