Haha no mate, I am resigned to relegation! Have been for a while. I meant if Oledzki, Smith and Chamberlain aren't coming back now the 8's have started then I would start blooding the likes of Rickett, Tomlinson, Pickersgill, Storton etc against our opponents in the Shield (Batley, Dewsbury etc) which will be very good preperation for them leading into the off season. Then a season against the likes of Hemel, Coventry etc.
So the prep against the Championship sides will do those kinds of players the world of good. Similar to how we brought Bentley in for a game last season and Kirk played 3 on the bounce in the Shield.
