You usually can, but the club have still got a few tickets left.

That squad should be more than capable, even without Connor.

Those whispers are obviously in your head.
It’s a pretty strong squad, only missing 4 starting players in Taylor, Mau, Cator and Kane who was going to be out due to his ban. Should be more than capable, providing the injury curse doesn’t strike again. Reynolds suffered a hamstring pull in the cold early rounds last year and hasn’t had that long to acclimatise.

Have to agree that the squad announced is a pretty strong squad and to be honest should be more than capable of doing the business on Sunday. However we are long versed in the fact that we have often looked good on paper but fail to deliver on the pitch.

Typically the weather gods are not looking to shine on us with rain predicted in the morning then at 3pm.

Need to get off to a good start and show they have not just learnt lessons from the previous seasons but also addressed and rectified most of the issues.

Yes, there are no cash turnstiles though. You need to go to the small ticket office near the main entrance, or i think you can get an e-ticket online

That's what I have thought but given the performances in recent years I'm beginning to think I'm deluding myself..

I'd play Savelio at prop. Not ideal but needs must.

Interesting move, considering we have two backrowers in Savelio and Lane and 4 props.

Think we need Savelios running threat out wide.

Don't think there's a need to move Savelio with Sao, Satae, Fash & Brown. Think I'd be tempted to go with

Connor
Swift
Griff
Carlos
McIntosh
Reynolds
Gale
Sao
Houghton
Satae
Savelio
Scott
Lane

Lovodua
Fash
Brown
Shaul or Wynn

With options of swapping Lane to 2nd row and putting Lovodua in at 13 and Scott on the bench.

Think that has to be the team, personally I'd prefer Griffin in the backrow and Scott at centre, but don't think that will happen.

I did ponder having Griff in 2nd row with Scott at centre but think BH will opt for the strongest backline and Griff is better in the centres. Think we are more likely to see Lane at 2nd row and Lovodua at 13 than we are seeing Griff in the 2nd row. At least we have options though.

Looks a good strong squad and should be more than capable to run out winners at WakefieldLeave out the personal swipes please. Ta.
