Griffin being cleared makes a world of difference to the backline.
People can dress this up however they want, its up to them. But a loss on Sunday is a very poor result. Us by 10 or 12.
We know what happens when we play badly at Magic. But if we play okay and our makeshift back line holds together then we should win the game in the forwards. If we have one of our off days and we leak a try every time they go wide then its going to be a long drive home.
Any worth in having Miloudi and Harris in the halves, given that they've played there together this season for Doncaster and will have some semblance of an understanding? Connor at centre would strengthen our wide defence, plus he's going to be his usual maverick self there anyway, should add an extra dimension to our play whilst strengthening a weakened back line.
