Trying to find out. Already asked about Liam Byrne.

A quick turnaround for Hudds at home, If Thompon allowed to play, a straight swap there.
Leeming looked bad so I'd like to say bring in Forber.
Hill deserves to keep his spot and I think Chan has shown enough to come in if anyone else is injured or needs a rest.

good point. I'm sure Chan and some of the younger lads will probably get some game time over the next few matches, even if its 1 or 2 in each 17 to freshen things up a little. Once we get the injured players back we can then start to try and give some a good couple of weeks off to freshen up for late in the season

I think if we can win 3 out of next 4 (inc challenge cup) before we play Saints, then we'll have done well and shown the squad has depth to be able cope with most things

i think looking at Cooper and Leeming, they'll both be out for say a month depending upon what scans come back with (assuming they were the 2 that most likely be out for a while and need scans on injury)

Byrne appeared by a HIA, so a week off and he should be back for London away

no idea how leeming passed a fitness test for the WCC as his was limping when he came on the field i was watching him in back play and he was moving terrible.

He needs to sort that injury out proper before he plays again we have plenty of depth in this squad.

I think bringing in a few youngsters this week would be good - many people will expect us to have a trophy hangover so i think bringing in some energy will help a lot of them probably keen to show what they can do after last week
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

I’m hoping Forber gets a gig.
