You'd think Whitehead might get a rest.

Tend to agree, given the Lions campaign coming.

James Graham for a 9s team is an interesting choice.

I think he lives in Aus all year round, so it's an easier trip for him than most.

I doubt Bateman is tired, as such, but he'll want some time back in Bradford.
