They were missing Tomkins, Smith, Cotric, Whitehead and Pangai Jr this week, but does anyone know if they were just rested and will be back for our game ??
It looks like we could be missing Smith and Nikotemo but not sure about Rodwell, and Atoni looked to be limping too ??
The thing is although Butcher names some decent players, the difficulty is exactly the point at the end 1) although better than Pitts individually, will they fit into our team or infact disrupt it for a while 2) why would they come knowing it is a temporary role. You'd have to be pretty confident or pretty desperate to take that chance.
Clearly Powell knows what Stephenson is like. If he isn't ready it's better not to break him. I guess we'll see.
Exactly. As far as I know, Gilmore, Keyes and Walker all have other jobs too, so wouldn't necessarily be able to take the time off to do it without much chance of a longer deal. So until Trueman or Russell get back, our stand off is going to be Jay Pitts, Max Jowitt, Liam Hood (if Doyle gets back sooner), Rowan Stephenson, or Oli Leyland (unlikely). Take your pick.
