Griffin



we are going to have to step up our kicking game on friday

Might leave Leuluai out if he plays for the Exiles 48 hours earlier. Can still go with a 4 prop group of Peacock, Griffin, Bailey, Moore/Kirke.

Ablett, JJB and Burrow playing for England but can see the last 2 getting limited game time again. If JJB does get played for longer then hopefully Delaney is fit to return and leaving out JJB is an easier option then.

Hull have Briscoe, Tickle and Manu involved and only just played this afternoon, that would be asking them to play 3 games in 6 days.

Did BJB take a knock?

BJB took a knock to the nose, he will be fine to play on Friday. We wont see Ward at 6 or Sinfield at 13, the other way round. D Smith and Singleton wont get brought back due to their Dual Reg with Oldham and Dewsbury, and BMc said he wouldnt bring them back unless it was necessary.



On the other hand, Hull FC will have Willie Manu, Tom Briscoe playing three games in the space of six days, as they played today.

It's necessary

Why? Don't you have anything left in your [iw[/iank bank?

I hate to think what Nantwich would be like if he ever got to see his man-crushes play. Umbrellas needed for the rest of the crowd.

They'd need to bring their own umbrellas. Any money would have to be spent on the copious supplies of viagra I need these days





Thanks for the fantasy though.

They'd probably be finished by the time they reach 23 anyway, or due a switch to centre.

Tickle has a bicep injury and has been replaced in the England squad - doubtful for Friday too. I would expect Briscoe to turn around comfortably, but can see Manu playing the full 80 for the Exiles so he may come off the bench on Friday.



Just want to pre-empt it happening, but please ignore the Big Brother's of this forum in the build up to this game, there were a few biters before the last game.

so having got three wins on the spin, got some confidence back in the side, and now with a tough home game against one of the other top sides in the league, Nantwich wants to....drop half the team and play the kids.



Yes Nantwich, we know, you really love your 20 year old lad. We've got the message. Now please shut up, because we want to win the next game, not maybe win one in 5 years.



The sensible side.
