Nah, I think the club will be being quite careful, especially as we seem to be resting players at various stages. Doubt anyone comes back under an injury cloud.

Yep. They miss Taumalolo, Morgan and their hooker Robson. Also interesting they did not pick Hess after his suspension. He is having a poor season, but at his best is very dangerous, so happy not to have him there.

Calf strain. be surprised if he plays again this year.
We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately

Thanks TC and Robbie Ross.

Would be amazing if Tui plays, initially they said he MIGHT be ready for finals.

Tui still a chance for a bench cameo! Fingers crossed.

I think the interchange ( assuming all are fit ) will be Jacks, Darryn , Tom E and Tui.

So from last week

Jacks for Paps
NAS for Christian
Tom for Chris Lewis
Tui for Albert
Suli for Isaac

Probably isn't ready yet, remember SBW got back to Australia a good 2-3 weeks ahead of him. What's more our centres in Lee and Olam are doing a pretty good job at the moment too.

Agree, plus SBW is just playing 20 mins in the middle, to keep it simple for him.Hit ups , tackles. Ricky has to play 80, and get in sync with his Half, Second Rower and Winger- that would need a fair bit of training.

Having said that, I think he might get a game next week- we need to see what he’s got.
