So field is carrying an injury or burnt out as they say.Probably a good call because we need him 100% for saints

Got a big game next week, don't rest anyone that is healthy and let's destroy Sheffield, It's payback time

[DaiJones]

Well we've certainly gone strong there. Thought we might see someone like Douglas given a debut or another game for Farrimond but can understand the need to give everyone a run out before next Friday.

Leeming needs a run out before GF, maybe O'Neil rested for Forber as well. Who plays FB do we reckon?

Hampshire at full back?

[Wigan_forever1985]

Id say hampshire - this to me is what hes here to do cover these sort of games - hes still a good level pro

[ancientnloyal]

Would have been a good game for Farrimond

[Bob the Builder]

Must not be tempted to put French at fullback as we need French and Smith in the halves and to be on the same page and firing ready for the Stains game.
