Back row I agree, although I rate Zeb higher than Greenwood and Knowles is massively underrated.

Farrell and SOL are clearly all class though.

Knowles is a good player no doubt. I feel he’ll be a bit of a Lockers and not get the credit he deserves from people who don’t watch him week in week out until he’s later in to his career. I certainly wouldn’t swap a full fit Greenwood for Taia but he’s rarely stayed clear of knocks this season.

Sky choosing to air the Leeds/KR game over us ffs.

Guess I’ll have to settle for one angled, no commentary highlights 2 hours after.

You get to watch this great game tonight though. Thrilling stuff.

You're right - playing the game tonight was the mystery for me. Could understand wanting to screen Leeds v Hull KR, although with hindsight its looking like London might fall away badly.

Was hoping for a dry day to give us more chance of trying to bring our backs into the game more hopefully come game time we will see drier conditions.

I'm going tonight expecting a whooping so anything better than that will be great fully received. I'm expecting that Clubb will not play but hope that Byrne will bring a more physical game.

My main worry is that Saints score quite a few barge over tries a la Cas earlier in the season.

Pretty stupid to risk Clubb, we're light enough in the forwards as it is.
If he breaks down in his first stint and we're left with sixteen men for 75 mins then it could turn into a very long night.
Play someone who's fit.

Agree. We have Wakey next week at home and then a week off. Let the likes of Clubb get themselves fit ready for a big 6 or 7 weeks towards the playoffs.

Aye, and when Greenwood comes back lets hope that he has the sense to start wearing some head protection

Been out for a couple of weeks at a time three times tis season.

Makes me worry about a player when that happens.

It's the reason Darrel Goulding had to retire.
