With Clarkson to come on for Mcshane and with Sinfield moving to hooker and Clarkson to Loose forward.

Whats wrong with Buderus now?



He's been playing very well lately

New two year (?) contract signed. Time for a rest.



Match winning performance V St Helens, almost single handedly secured the points.

we'll miss him but it's a great opportunity for young mcshane. wouldn't shock me to see burrow go to hooker from the bench

Why not just play Burrow as an interchange hooker for this match? not as much pressure on him returning from injury.

I dont know if i'm looking into it too much but Biffa has been selected to attend one of the shops on Saturday and the other 3 players that are gonna be there are all injured. That and he has just started full training today?

YEP says knee problem.

We are down to the bare bones which doesn't bode well the way you have been playing

Exactly what I thought when I saw the squad.

IMO that is the best idea too. Burrow on the bench to come on as 'impact hooker'.



Great opportunity for McShane to build on his real promising start. At times like this it makes you realise how prudent it is to have the three recognised hookers signed up.....but can anybody genuinely still deny the excellence and superiority of Buderus, who really has being a towering winning influence recently ??

He WOULD regularly get the ("official"icon_wink.gif MOM if he was allowed to play the full 80 mins, I'm sure.



Looking forward to seeing, [isometimes-disappointing-in-the-past[/i, Bailey building on his recent exceptional form......and Ambler looks the ever increasing part as another integral part of the squad. Pleased for Clarkson too.



Having Ali back should hopefully make up for the loss of the outstanding Eastwood, who I'm sure

is here to stay, despite the Aussie media speculation.
