Looks like another wet, heavy pitch at Odsal on Sunday - will we have learnt any lessons from Sunday? The team selection will be interesting, expect EOC will want to try and find some form and momentum but I'd be looking to rest a couple like Holmes and Lawrence.

I'd like to see Sammut back in the side as well - Gaskell hasn't been the same player this season, is he carrying an injury still or have his legs just gone now?

Wonder if Tindall is over his illness now?

Another dead rubber game and for both teams.....these are always a bit tricky.

Part of me is lets rest some bodies and focus on the following week. On the other hand heading into the play-offs with no real form isn't great either....

We could be facing any one of York, Featherstone or Sheffield too by the looks of it....the race for 4/5/6 will be interesting!

I can't see wholesale changes happening but I'd be looking to rest a couple of key players. Holmes is finally looking sharp and losing him now in a meaningless game would be a real hammer blow.

Swinton have to win and hope Barrow lose so they avoid the playoff game with the League 1 playoff winners.

So Swinton will be giving it their all and it's a dead rubber for us. This has home loss written all over it. I'd be resting some key players like Holmes and Doro (assuming he was fit anyway). I'd give Fulton the week off as he's looked tired lately.

Definitely not a dead rubber for Swinton. Which I don't think is a bad thing we'll get another tough game. While it's a dead rubber for us in terms of not affecting where we finish in the table, I still think it's important we get the win and not limp into the play-offs.

That said I'd definitely rest a few as some are looking tired (who would have thought a 30+ game season tires out PT players) I'd keep Holmes Gaskell and Lilley as think it's important they have another game together. Start Ott and bring Sammut off the bench. I'd rest Souter & Fulton and Myers.

Have we had any bans dished out following the Fax game?

I don't think so. Nothing on the disciplinary website.

Do we want to go into a play off match having lost two on the bounce?

Bulls 21 man squad released. Romain Franco and Eliot Peposhi come into the squad in place of Lee Gaskell and Sam Hallas.

Pollsters doing Excellent job - say recent polls.:



Who has played a lot of minutes and could therefore be rested? maybe Appo, Fulton? Lawrence hasn't played a lot of minutes by his standards but recovery is important for him, so possibly.

Who needs minutes from that squad? Davies, Mason, Bayliss, Peposhi, Smith, Franco. I think they'll all be playing.

Well a pretty big result and always nice to have a zero against the oppositions name.

Impressed by Holmes. Had a great game. Reminiscent of last year. Souter and Bayliss also great. Pele also good, finally running onto the ball.

If I was a Swinton fan I'd be worried. They offered nothing at all.

Did what we needed to do. Surprised by Swintons lack of fight. We literally just walked straight through them at times.

Holmes was superb and has really upped his game the last few weeks. Nice to see Lehman get a couple of tries after a tough couple of weeks. Selection headache next week.

Only worry is yet again we fluffed a drop-goal (doesn't bode well for when we might actually need it) and a bit of sloppy play towards the end, kicking on the 2nd tackle etc. We'll need much more patience against Fev as we certainly won't just walk through them.
