Both decent players at 13. Bit too far to say one of them is twice the player of the other at 13. I'd have Pitts in 2nd row with Addy at 13.

| Quote woolly07="woolly07"The £1m game is now the target. We must beat Leigh and Fax.
Does that mean we rest some players next week as we realistically have little chance at KR even if they are without their main halves.
I would put Gaskell on the bench to stretch his legs for a couple of stints.
Should we tell Seijka to play and show us what he can do along with another player at stand off.
We could rest AOB, Mullaney, Addey, Fergusson and one or two other forwards - although they have all just had two weeks off!
Two from three wins will do us right now but putting out a weakened team next week is hard to decide upon as the right thing to do. Play a full team and get some injuries and this forum will be screaming at Lowes. Tough decision for him.
In a seven game league it seems daft to even contemplate putting in the reserves for one of them but we do need a full team out for Leigh, Fax and the play-off game.'"
I dont think its an option to put out the reserves when this could all come down to points difference.
And no matter how unlikely, there's still the possibiity of a shock win.
Apart from which, I reckon we need more practice playing at this level of intensity, not a rest.

There's just no reason or evidence from this season to think that Lowes believes in 'resting players'. In fact he's said more than once that he doesn't agree with it.
I expect the best available team. He played the full team against Doncaster and Workington, he's not going to rest players against Hull KR!

| We have to aim to win every game. Talk of resting players for against Hull KR is nonsense. These players have a maximum of 320 minutes of rugby to try and earn a SL contract for themselves. Going to Hull KR is on paper our toughest test but who knows which Bulls side will turn up!

We have just had a weeks rest because of the challenge cup. The brutal truth is that we are not good enough and should we get to the million pound game and somehow win it then we are in for a long season next year. As for the officiating; unless something is done about the standard it will kill the game stone dead.

We go all out to win at KR. Our season now comes down to the next two games. I think we will beat Leigh at their place (providing we get a competent ref)
I am hoping we can catch KR cold. Hopefully they will go into holiday mode now they are safe and they have got a win after their Wembley debacle. Plus minus Campese and Kelly from the team that beta us at our place.
Tough place to go is Craven park though.

Why are we in for a long season next year if promoted. I'm not normally a betting man but I would be willing to put a fortune on that it would be a lot different team on show than this year.

Where does this notion come from that Addy is a good 13 come from seeing as he as a 3 to 1 rate of playing half to loose.

By seeing the obvious good attributes Addy has and what i personally like to see in a 13. Goods hands, good footwork and decent defence. He often puts in big hits to lift the team and is capable of great moments of skill to set up of score a try. Like i say Pitts is decent as well. Just rather him be in second row and addy at 13 if given option. Don't know why this sounds so ridiculous to you?
And he's clearly been forced to play in halves due to injury and lack of cover there. I would imagine we would have seen him at 13 a lot more if not for our half back issues.

| Thought Cobb was most obviously biased ref we've seen at odsal for a number of years. Widnes probably still had enough class to win game but we'll never know whether they could have done it without refs assistance. Chalk off the 3 tries from blatant forward passes and ah vans knock on for his 2nd and it could have been a very different game. Pretty much guaranteed we'll get Cobb for Leigh away game too IMO.

Doubt that very much - we seem to have been nailed on to get Child for all our home games now - now there's an 'eccentric' ref for you! Penalty count 4-3 in favour of Leigh, who are issued with a team warning on the 4th penalty awarded to Sheffield. (that's 4-4 but no warning to Sheffield) Next set, Ridyard - of all people - is yellow carded. Yet Sheffield went on to concede about 15 penalties, but no team warning!
