Would like to see a few changes for this one.

No disrespect to anyone, every player has showed the desire and commitment we all ask for, but it's a long season and we need to share the bumps and bruises out.

I would play Isa from the start. Put Ferres in the pack. Rest Jake Emmit (who has been fantastic)
Start with Foz and Huby as props, rest Jackson (had plenty of knocks already -also played very well and energetic). Snitch on the bench.
Hudson to start. Clarke on the bench, rest Milner.

1 Mathers
2 Dixon
3 Arundel
4 Isa
5 Youngquest
6 Chase
7 Orr
8 Fozzard
9 Hudson
10 Huby
11 Ferres
12 Holmes
13 Jones

14 Widders
15 Clarke
16 Snitch
17 Aspinwall

Swap you for Childs Tropical

We wouldn't "rest" rangi chase so I wouldn't wanna see us rest Jake Emmit. He's been class so far. don't fix what aint broken.

I agree with Poker Face. Whilst we've been playing well I feel inexperience and lack of knowledge amongst our youngsters on how to snatch a game or close a game out cost us v Bradford.

My team would be:

Mathers
Dixon
Arundel
Isa
Youngquest
Chase
Orr
Huby
Hudson
Jackson
Ferres
Snitch
Jones

Bench: Fozzard, Emmitt, Widders, Clark.

To lightweight that bench poker, 2 props req'd imo.

Also Hudson, isn't he still injured?

Crusaders have just signed Andy Bracek from Barrow so he may join Jordan Tansey in debuting at the weekend.

Doubt it Stu, think he injured for a few weeks, Tansey will play though

I'll give Tansey 6 weeks befoe he's fired again.

Hudson will probably still be out injured

Bracek is out for 2 months.

I agree we need to shake the squad up a bit

Think we need to bring snitch in this week, was a good player for us last season and he adds more size and aggression to the front row, he will also be fresh and raring to go. would like to know why why widders didnt play, is he injured, think he may have made a differance if he played against bradford. I appreciate what some people are saying about resting players but we are only a few games in, i dont think we need to be resting anyone yet. If hudsons fit i would like to see him play too, his grubber kicks near the line give us extra options in attack and he will help shore up the defence.

But who to drop? Clarke for me has to play, he has been one of our most dangerous players this year, aspinwall could be dropped has looked okay and not done anything wrong but snitch would probably add more to the team. I'm glad i dont have to pick the team.

Can we please just let this go now. It's done and dusted and to keep harking on about it makes us look bitter and twisted. If you want to apportion blame, give it to the handful of knuckle-dragging idiots who have dragged the clubs name through the mud.

here here well said.

After 63 posts of twaddle I think Scabbycat could well be one of them

Think it was a hip injury. He's tweeted that he'll be back this week.

edit, found it...
