Kearney had a reaction to his injury in training. Gale still not back yet.

Mick Potter has named an 18-Man Squad for the game against Huddersfield Giants at Odsal on Sunday.



Full Back Brett Kearney suffered a reaction to his ankle injury in yesterday's training session and Luke Gale is also not ready to return. Chev Walker and Karl Pryce have been added to the Squad but the three young players who were named last week, Jay Rossi, Matt Bailey and Callum Windley, have not trained with the First Team this week and are omitted.



The Squad is: Addy, Ainscough, Bateman, Burgess, Diskin, Elima, Hargreaves, Jeffries, Kopczak, Langley, Lulia, Manuokafoa, Olbison, Platt, Pryce, Purtell, Walker, Whitehead.

Think i'd rather go platt at full-back. Ainscough has done well and earned his chance but he's only a small lad and could be targeted by brough's kicking game

I hope he has a repeat of last year's game where him and cudjoe made sykes look like greg inglis

Maybe leave walker out and use platt at /wing with purtell and whitehead reverting to 2nd row. Dont think walkers got pace for anymore and not too convinced by him at 2nd row ahead of any other 2nd rowers in squad. Gives us an option of switching platt and ainscough during game if ainscough's struggling at the back.

Nathan Brown:



"I think they've got the best forward line in the competition. If they hadn't had such a slow start I think they'd be much higher up the league."

slow start :/

Yeah, I think I'd go with that



I'm never totally happy with Whitehead in the centres as opposed to second row, but I think he's a better option there than using Platt or Walker in the backs. But having Walker in the bench gives cover for backs AND forwards.



Also if Whitehead starts in the 2nd row then presumably that bumps Bateman onto the bench, and I'd rather him there from the start. He's not really an impact type player. I guess the other option would be Elima on the bench for the impact 'slot'. But, no, on balance I'd go with Mats line up

Don't tihnk Pryce has done enough to be in the starting line up. Falling on the ball to score a try isn't good enough for me. Ainscoughs showed him up since he's come into the squad.
