Lomax will be key. With him firing at Fullback, then we are a different prospect. I'd say to the value of 6 to 12 points in him alone. If he is on fire, he can either through himself or by putting defender on the back foot put other through.

Roby is not likely to return.

But by that time there should be someone else at halfback rather than Wellens, so that should add to our strength too.

I still think Brown is approaching the season in a manner that means he will not rush anyone back for any league game. But a knockout game is different as there are no 2nd chances.

We could have won this week, plus on their last try Craig Hall was about a yard offside.

With Lomax back and possibly Puletua and Manu I see no reason why we can't win.

Well I can, if we have the dynamic duo in the halves again we'll probably lose as Lomax won't get any decent ball. But if we get a halfback combo of Wilkin/Hohaia, Wilkin/Charnock or Wilkin/Swift along with the above three returning I see no reason why we would lose.

On TV it is then !

Their first try was from a scrum base and the second wasa virtual free dart from dummy half. 3rd was a missed tackle on Patterson -to be fair, there's worse crimes than that as he seems a real handful whenever I've seen him. their 4th try could have been chalked off, but it was a good kick and luck favoured them on that occasion.
So we shouldn't really be negetive about taking them on again, even if they do like to make it difficult for us at Craven Park.
