Should be interesting to see how we do in this one. Hopefully a convincing win but depends on if we take them lightly. No DFJ. Any news on Hall's injury?

Yeah London seem to be in a state, although they sounded much improved against Fev at the weekend.

But with a massive game against Batley coming up, we really need to feel what it's like to win again.

Don’t think hall is too far away whether he makes the London game or not remains to be seen we do seem to be getting a few bodies back though I think Walker could do with sitting out in this one we need to refresh the front row

Walker needs to get fit - will him sitting it out help that?

Haha! Beat Bongser to it, Bullseye. Thought exactly the same when reading Pyrah's post. Though on his showing at LSV it needs to be added that, despite carrying a pie store up his jersey, he's committed and aggressive on the drive and that, whilst he may lack higher gears, he also lacks any backward ones. If you can get him doing longer minutes (especially no yellows), he should be an ink in as the team sheet starts to be scribed.

Just this opinion.

Maybe we aren’t using him in the right way maybe he should be used as impact off the bench my thoughts were to not impact team performance with lack of fitness. I’ve just thought he’s been defensively wanting once or twice already this season maybe fitness could help with that?

In all serious he’s needed to get fitter for the last 2 years…

I must admit I was expecting big things from him this year after a good pre season of conditioning. Bit disappointed to see him come back in that condition to be honest.

Is Kear back as he was named in the squad vs. Barrow? I always feel safer in both attack and defence with Kear at Fullback. Keep Millar on the wing where he actually plays.

He is… I’ll be interested to see what happens when Hall comes back too

Aye it will be. I’d personally try him at Fullback (dependingon his attacking skills) as I think Kear can finish a try well. Also I think he’s a touch faster than Kear so would be better at chasing folk down when they break the line.

I agree. He was overweight last year but allowances were made because he was apparently a late(ish) signing. No excuses for looking the same this year. Quite a let down really and he's not the only one that's out of shape although he stands out the most.

On the question of using him differently that poses some issues. He's only effective in short bursts and then he becomes a target in defence because of his lack of mobility. Same applies to Crossley but not as much. While they're on the field together we make more ground but after 15mins they need to come off. We then struggle for go-forward. The fact that these two can't do long minutes and Kibula and Scurr have been injured (two others that could do with shedding some flab) means we struggle.

I can't remember how many subs we're allowed this season - is it still 12? If it's come down to 10 then that's another issue. The game is going to get quicker and having overweight forwards is a big handicap.

Hey all, you won't have any issues winning on Sunday, London have improved in defence, but our attack is still clueless, and we only score from mistakes right now. So you won't need to score many to beat us, three tries would easily do it. But expect London to not make it easy for you, a score of something like 30-10 is more likely than a 50+ blow out

London do not communicate well (if at all), and there is a very good chance you will not be able just turn up and buy tickets, so I would recommend you buy your tickets prior to making the trip (even though stadium will be 90% empty for the game).

Good luck for the season
