Hopefully Gregson, Bailey & Dezaria will get a game.....weather permitting !

I think Bent & bongser could have had a simpler bonus - name the stand-off!

It's good to see a couple of young forwards in the squad - hopefully they will give us a bit more impetus, and staying power. I would have quite liked to see Blagborough in as a straight replacement for Acton. He was getting rave reports in the Championship, back in 2016, with Sheffield, so shouldn't be out of his depth.

I would like to see Bergal come in for Dawson who has been defensively shocking, also rest Acton & Vai-Vai as this is a 'don't need to win' game !

A cup run only creates more fatigue & chance of injuries so I would rather see an early exit & some game time for fringe players, surely top 4 takes priority over all else ?

Acton's not in the squad, Ste. (suspended, I presume) Also, Vai Vai didn't play last week.

I wonder if Mata'utia will be given a go at stand off?

Could be worst team we've put out in yonks - probably means we'll win!

Certainly not short of centres who can fill in for him.

Bongser doesn't do simple, Jack, but thanks for thinking your way through the maze and "attending"
