Who would have been the prop you'd've played at loose ? We were obviously a bit light in the forwards availability department - three injured, one suspended.

Your post actually reminded me that John Davies,Mitch Stringer and Jamie Langley were injured.
As I think young players sometimes benefit from playing away - a tad less pressure - Connor Scott,may have been an option,or TT or Ben Musolino and have others on the interchange.

All academic now,of course,but lots of other clubs now seem to set up that way.

It may just be a passing phase but I have seen 2 good performances from opposition players with long hair; Farrell for Dewsbury - MoM last night - and that young player at Doncaster.Not often that forwards get voted MoM.
I am just please London sold Atelea Vea to Saints before next week.

Looking on the bright side after the defeat, the prop forwards we have in the squad are of a high standard IMO. You've got the experience in Tonka, Stringer and Thorpe (to a certain extent at a very respectable level). Then the youth with Battye, Blagbrough, Scott. And the wildcard in Tagaloa who was coming into form at the backend of last season before getting injured.

May also be the fact that in the 3 other games,involving Super League clubs,they,the 3 away clubs,like ourselves,failed to register any points in the second half.
Huddersfield,Widnes and Warrington.
Coincidence,or an omen?

Connor Scott's suspended. The other two were on the bench. They could have started but that would just have weakened the bench.

You can only play with what's available.
