Just seen the squad, Gale still missing. Be interesting to see how Lawford and Lino combine in the middle, but it highlights how exposed we are in that position. It seems we're looking at another prop but I feel we are well covered now.



Anyway can't wait.

For props we have Bain, Vagana and Shaw to add to those.

I’m fine with Gale but perhaps the number of games he may play could be an issue.

Lawford may have to really step up this year.

A back up fullback is needed. We all saw what happened when we didn’t sign Shaul and relied on Gaskell.

Pinch of salt, but this is another take on Gale's absence. https://www.seriousaboutrl.com/luke-gal ... urs-87435/

That's a pretty good squad so lets hope Wigan support the fixture similarly. At £5 entry and a Friday night kick of it should be a good turn out.

My pie supporting friends are saying there is quite a few of them allegedly coming over.
Pity it wasn't arranged for a Sunday as there would have been even more there.
(Yes, I know we have a game on Sunday)

Would have been a huge following on Sunday if imagine and even more home fans but I expect a good attendance.

Of the two I would have chosen the Friday night fixture regardless.

Wasn't on about selecting one or the other Wollo - Just thought 'Tash's game v the pies would have generated more fans and revenue on the Sunday and not Friday.
