Team v Toronto? : Thu Feb 21, 2019 9:48 pm  

Jumping the gun, by a few hours, but what is our side likely to be on Sunday?

Richardson in Saints' 19, but unlikely to play, so he should be ok for us. Who will be at full back if Gregg doesn't make it? Pownall is suspended, so maybe Costello, or Marsh? Douglas's initial loan is finished, but neither he, nor Ashworth are in Saints' squad. Will be interesting to see our line-up!

Alan,Gregg won't make it (don't know how long for) due to a torn quad. Like you say though,it will be interesting to see who we've got.

For all intents and purpose they are a top SL team. No point risking anyone on a game we won’t win. I’d register as many of the youth team as possible and throw them in.

With respect Cherry they are hardly a proven SL side yet. Lots of changes required there should they make the promised land. Strong squad but nothing to really write home about.

I'd guess at;

Costello
Swift
Higginson
Thornley
Marsh
Ridyard
Woods
Douglas
Higham
Brooks
Adamson
Thornley
Adamson

O'Donnell
Cator
Gregson
Ashworth

Only other option I can see are Holroyd playing wing or full back to free up a space for Aaron Smith.

Yes, young Gregg looking at 3 to 4 weeks out. Unfortunately.

Pity, that. Pownall will be ok there, after this week, although that would then leave us short on wingers. Sure, D/R could fill that gap, but then we would be short on big forwards!

I think Ridyard could move to a Mick Burke type full back role for one week only.

Possibly the least disruptive choice, given three half backs in the squad.

To be fair , Micky Burke could return a ball although Riddy safe. We lacked creativital though.

Good team effort but I cannot see zToronto playing any worse. I thought they were poor.
