Moving onto hopefully a less contentious subject, at least until 4.45pm on Sunday. After the Batley game it will be interesting to see what changes are made - hasn't got limitless options, but will presumably have to shake things up. Wasn't at Batley so can't comment on individual performances but with that scoreline can't just have been one or two having a off day. Looking at those missing last Sunday you'd think Fleming, Pickersgill and Inman would have to come into contention, and Maizen if he's now recallable from Hunslet. It would also be great to hear how Keyes is progressing - seems ridiculous that his absence is being used as a major reason for our slump in form, but fans are given no updates that I've seen about when he might be back.

A game we should be comfortable winners in...good time to test the Pickersgill full back JWH halfback option,surely.Hopefully Lannon back,Fleming was in 17 but only remember him touching the ball once and knocking on.Inman needs to rotate with AOB as bringing Moore back against most people’s wishes clearly didn’t work...

A week of no board updates no coach updates,

Got a season ticket would refund the remaining games if i could will not be attending until a change is made

I will buy it off you for a tenner.

As for the game we should be big winners in this one but maybe that's just me being delusional. To be honest i am struggling to get enthusiastic about this game with how our league form as been this year and it might sound strange but the next 2 games after this one have a bigger significance for me. The game in London next saturday in the 1895 cup semi then playing Sheffield away on a friday night will for me make or break our season.

We desperately need to get back on track and build some confidence and momentum for the season defining games coming up..

Fax by 12 for me .

Squad for Sunday now out, and the only change is Maizen coming in for Tibbs.

As for the team itself, I'd have Lannon, Inman, Maizen, Pickersgill and Murray replace Tibbs, Salty, Wood, Moore and Fleming ....... trying Woodburn Hall in the halves.

Prediction: Fax 44 Newcastle 12.

No I'm not ..... I'm bringing McComb off the bench to start in place of Tibbs, and Maizen replaces Salty who seems to have got even slower recently, maybe he's struggling with an injury.

Ok-it's a fair call.

Fax by 10 but ship in some trys, how moore gets a gig I dont know after last week. Salty tried his best but just hope there has been some team bonding because blow this one and its bye bye season .

I think for the London game I’d sack Grix n get Greg florimos boots doing the coaching . I’d play beaujangles at 7 and move hooligan to fullback in woodys absence. Tony fax on the wing cos salty has completely lost his pace , ometoe in at hooker has like he says I don’t know how Moore gets a gig . Maher looks like he’s been signed by king cross under nines so can’t see him playing. I think crooks is a waste of space so I’d get hudd shay in at centre on duel reg . This on toilet paper looks like a winning team . UTP

A win! A bit of a blessing in disguise with Woodburn Hall getting injured in the warm up. Hope it’s not too serious but Inman played out of his skin at scrum half and fully deserved Man of the Match. Our go forward went up several gears when Lannon came on. We need all our forwards to follow his lead. Two very soft try’s conceded. Let’s hope we can start to build a bit of confidence from this win and even though it was 50-12 we were playing the bottom club of our league.
