How is Forber in the squad when he's gone to Widnes and is available for them this weekend?

Same 21 but probably a different 17.

Widnes don't play until Monday, but I don't think Forber will play on Friday anyway unless there are any injuries in training.

I don't see any reason for wholesale changes. I'd be tempted to rest Wardle on the basis that he's played a lot of rugby including the international and had a few knocks in the face over the last month or so. I'd like to see Nsemba get a run out too and see how Hill goes on starting.

Plenty of impact on the bench. I'd like to see Mago get some extra minutes in his legs if we are ahead by 20+

Lots excitement these days as Matty seems to include all of his fit players every week for every game so leaving the opportunity for everyone to drop players they think are playing either badly or should not even be at the Club.

Still yet to be convinced of the French SO switch. I’ve not been impressed in any of the games he’s been moved there and he’s basically nullified. Field is not showing the threat that french does at 1. Think tomorrow could go either way. No gale should swing it towards us

I would never sign up to Twitter on principle but I have checked our Twitter account for comments on matches. It looks like you can no longer do so without signing up - am I the only one affected, and is it worth mentioning it to the club?

Tonight's team:

1 Field
23 Miski
3 King
21 Thornley
5 Marshall
2 French
7 Smith
16 Havard
22 O'Neill
10 Byrne
19 Shorrocks
12 Farrell
13 Smithies

8 Singleton
27 Nsemba
20 Mago
