Have to miss this one, summer rugby and holidays.  I hope that we can win. If the pack keeps up the vein of form I think we might just nudge this one by ten.


If we should lose then hopefully the performance will give us a boost for the weeks to come.

To add even more spice to the fixture 'watchyerpockets' is back on loan for the Bulls.

Just seen our squad and Hansen and Dixon are both unavailable no idea why and Hird is injured we have brought in Tom Whitehead a second rower on a months loan from Wire but those missing will hurt us. Who will partner Woodburn-hall maybe Inman or could Restall go to fullback with Jouffret into the halfs not ideal either way and this happens just when Whitby forces his way into the Saints side bugger.

The 3 missing are all named on RFL site giving you a 21 man squad Is this a regular thing or mind games? https://www.rugby-league.com/match-centre

I have no idea, the Fax trust have just said it is on compassionate grounds which puts things into prospective.

Fax say both Hansen and Dixon aren't injured and have been left out for 'personal' reasons. Very strange.

Not exactly what we needed with the disruption it will cause but sooner or later we would have to see how we would go without key players due to injury or other reasons, just come sooner than we wanted. 

Two missing from the Bulls squad too.  Have a feeling Doro and Myers will come in on loans.

A bit if mind games going on here. Hansen will play and so will Doro.

Well certainly miss our two for different reasons.


Hansen has been playing really well with 2 recent MoM performances scoring himself, good link / distribution in attack for the rest of the team and a good kicking game and from the options were not going to replace him.


Restall to 1 and LJ into the haves is one.


Or maybe Inman at 7 with O Brien and Davies filling the 9 spots with LJ staying at 1 with a bucket shared with Salty and Tibbs to help them catch the high balls.


Dixon ( along with Douglas but he splaying ) has added the much needed size we?ve missed and with a loanee second row coming in Tanagata could go back into the middle with Calcott back to cover for Dixon and Hird being out, the downside of that Tangata has been playing well in the second row with is mobility running against slightly smaller guys and has linked up with JWH short pop up ball in the left channel so I d only move him if it was forced.


Anyway with excuses in place if we lose enough of the armchair coach so over to the real thing Mr Eastmond and see what he comes up with.
