I appreciate Hamilton a different matter as he has bee out a long time with concussion.

Who else will we see?
We might get Bergs and hopefully Darcy Graham.

Be a good test of Cockerill's management how he balances everyone over the next few weeks if we do stay in both competitions.Really every game now is a cup final but he can't play his top team every week.
