Well we do get a week off for the cup or did you mean the Salford game two weeks today?

And Saddened its not quite the same seeing how we cope without Graham and and being worrying if we lose - we are missing Perry and Puletua (and for next year Laffranchi) so you can't really judge.

In general a lot is going to depend on what Warrington do against Catalans if Warrington win, a win or loss doesn't make a huge difference to our season. In fact if Wire do win and turn up against Wigan - we might be facing a whole different kettle of play off fish!

That's what the txt prob means

I'm little slow today.

I take it we're not actively planning on winning this game.

Props?

We've got LMS and Clough. Are they expected to do 80 minutes or are we going with the likes of Ashurst and Dixon at prop?

There simply MUST be props in the academy.

Maybe sia will do a stint at prop

This i do find really quite poor Frodsham must be stuck in time if he can't make a 19 when we have 3 props injured and one second row cum prop only back recently from serious injury. Am surprised to not see someone from the U20's on the bench.

I noticed the other week in the championship game we have a lad on dual reg at Swinton he was a fairly big unit Warren Thompson (Sam's brother?), I know it is a major step up but surely he could do a job for 20mins just to give the others a break, we face getting blitzed down the middle if we have a pack of Ashurst, Roby, Dixon, Moore, Flannery, Wilkin at the same time.

He certainly needs to do big minutes and closer to the centre of the field this week.

I know we were poor in the cup but do you really think you only need to bring 15 players on sunday?

Ashurst/Dixon

I'd give hale a run out tbh. Think we are far to light in the pack and Roby off the bench against a tiring defence could be a way of upping the ante for us if were struggling plus he could do with a bit a break to freshen up. If the pack wasn't so light I'd have give him the weekend off. ashurst / Dixon as has been discussed to death are too similar and too alike ect....... That's why I'd give hale a go to see what he can do as he did well last time out.

Don't worry the mighty Flanno is back............

Probably Hull KR is one of the better teams to play when very light on the bench as they don't have any really huge guys themselves, do they? They also like to throw the ball around and stuff rather than do the barge business. So although we are excessively lean on the forwards, if the two remaining do their jobs properly and Scotty and the young crew play as hard as they did last week, we should still be in with a chance.
