Can we get back on topic please? Garbutt back for Rovers, alongside Mulhern and Jewitt, at prop is a genuine boost. We know we had no props last week, so do we know when we are likely to hear about Taylor, Matongo, Bowden, Green? I assume Paea at least will be back. As said on another thread, given Ellis' shift last weekend wonder whether he might play Monday instead?

Why do you keep saying you had no props when you did and this week you’ll have at least five available so stop with all the crap it’s boring

Lee Jewitt being fit is about as big a boost as them naming me in the squad.

Our first choice 5 props are Taylor, Paea, Bowden, Green and Matongo., none of them played last week. I don't believe these 5 will all be available. I see Rovers on the other hand are rumoured to be adding Amor into Friday's squad. Garbutt, Mulhern, Amor and Jewitt would be a very handy set of props IMO.

Lets see what the squads are and then we can talk about timely boosts etc. We know Paea will be available. I would be pretty surprised if Taylor and Masi are not included, perhaps another aswell. Even if we end up with something like Taylor, Ellis, Paea and Brown, then it's pretty well balanced imo.

I got the impression Matongo was medium term, and Taylor didn't look great at Salford but strapping could have been precautionary. These aren't really comeback games after months out so think your proposed set of props probably not far off.

I hope Jewitt does player. A very average player who seems to struggle to control his temper at times. Always good for a few penalties when he trys to play the tough guy.

Apparently Masi is doing a rock climbing challenge in St Stephens today so his shoulder can't be that bad.
