What a win that was with some stunning tries and great defence again, big shame about the injuries we picked up. Thought Lilley was my man of the match with a magic contribution.
Likely Doro will be recalled with Sue being sent off against Leeds. Hopefully Pele isn't too serious and it sounded like Scurr didn't come back on. So in the space of a day we've lost Keyes (Gledhill said broken finger) Pele, maybe Scurr and likely Doro going back.
That being said it's an opportunity for someone else and we can still name a strong squad to best Sheffield & Batley. As I said above, those champ squads that have been relying on loans and DR are looking wrecked at the moment, barely naming 18 man squads. We shouid still name a strong team even with all the above out. I think that's where we'll see us progress up the table with some of the other teams starting to drop off.
Barnstorming first half from the Bulls last night. Danny Craven and Jordan Turner had a absolute nightmare defending against Blake and Okunbor. We tore that side of the field to shreds. As others have said, if it wasn't for some dubious forward pass calls we would have had 50-60 points last night.
Worryingly we seemed to pick up some injuries. Scurr and Pele both off injured with calf injuries. Pele's looking more serious as he left the game on crutches. Mason can come in for Pele and we could potentially recall Waine from London if he needs be to cover for any injuries.
Quite a lot of talk about thin squads in other Championship clubs, struggling to get the 18 players together- Oldham and Fax being the most obvious ones. Not a lot of depth outside of their starting team. We?ve done it differently. We are loaning out to Dewsbury, London, Newcastle. We do have a strong squad, but whilst we?ve brought in Hooley (for a long term injury to Holmes) , we?ve also brought back Doro who is obviously too good for the championship now.
