Menzel is out until June at earliest. McCarthy should play and I'l luv to see him out there. Sel and Mots are not playing.
As of the rest, I doubt Luxford will get a run and I think its too early for Lang after the leg. I know he is training but I'm sure they will hold him back and build his load slowly.

Hawkins, HT, Boris, and Kel I'm sure will play but probably a 1/2 at best. I d expect Daws and Hmac a half each as well.

Go Catters

Pleased to see Mcarthy there. And good news that Simpson, Hawkins and Vardy are right to go. BIg men stocks are healthy (for now).

No McIntosh,who thought was suppose to play

I'd say that is planned, Simpson will probably miss the next one.

Still how ****ing hard is it for the club to put this on their website. The fans and media are obviously going to start asking questions about it.

NO Hamish...

Due for a rest anyway.

 

[manboob]

LOL.

Very keen to see Jansen in action!

Still can't get my head around them keeping Sheringham over Eardley.

Do not even go there…

Would have liked to see McIntosh, Kersten, Thurlow and Kolodjashnij in there. GREAT to see Simpson playing, though.

 

[thejester]

So it'd be fair to say no one who had a late start to preseason is getting a gig. Is Bews injured?

 

[TheFreshBanana]

Thought it would be interesting to compare the games of each side for this upcoming match

​

Good luck guys. Hope it's an enjoyable one and everyone comes out unscathed.

 

[winty]

Looking at Collingwood's squad, hard to see who they'll put on Hawkins. Hope they put Maxwell on him for the lols, but I'm guessing it'll probably be Keefe.

A cardboard cutout will do the job if he's in anything like his late-2013 state.

They might be daring and decide to play him actually fit this year. That might help.

Where's '2011 GF Ben Reid' when you need him!

I think it's far more "fit Tom Hawkins" to be honest.
