Can see Ganson playing against Salford, no idea what we're going to do this week though.

Something like

Escare
Davies
Gelling
Burgess
Marshall
Williams
Powell
Flower
McIlorum
FPN
Joel
Farrell
O'Loughlin

Isa/Naverette
Sutton
Tautai
Gregson (to play 9 or 6).

Didn't want to drop Bruce but need strong play in the centres.

Thank god; Davies, Marshall, Forsyth has been so good coming into the first team or else we'd be in big big trouble with these injuries.

I think it'll have to be something like that, MM isn't fit enough to play the full 80 yet, so Powell back to hooker when MM goes off, with Gregson into the halves. Other option would be to use Lockers at 7 again, with Powell or MM on the bench.

It's a shame Sam isn't fit. It would have been a good opportunity to see how he goes in the halves. Powell is peobably the best shout for #7 with Gregson or Garson spelling at #9

Yeah it could've been Tomkins opportunity to nail that spot. It sounds like him and Leuluai will be back around the same time. It's a sad way to think but I'm sure there will be other injuries before then which will open up spots for them.

As for Saturday I'd go Lockers at six with Isa at loose forward to help save McIlorum doing too many minutes. He'll need to do more the following week without doubt so they can't afford to over work him. I think the games a little too big and the atmosphere a bit too hostile to throw Ganson in (his time will surely come next week though).
