Well among the news of our return to Odsal is a massive game against York.
York have been a real bogey team for us. Reading their forum its sounds like they've been blowing a bit hot and cold this year (a little like us) so I fully expect their perfect 80 minute performance to happen against us.

Think it's crucial for us that Brough is fit

I expect another cracker.

A bit of a rivalry has developed with York since 2018.
All 4 games have been close that could have gone either way. Im expecting the same on Sunday.

Certainly nothing to fear. Widnes were beating them after 60 mins 2 weeks ago and Oldham held them to 6 all at HT yesterday. Certainly not sweeping everyone a side like most of the rl press expected them to.

A win this week would certainly cement us as the best of the rest in this league. Obviously Fev and Toulouse are the bench mark but im more than happy to be the no3 team.

also expecting much the same ... we've got a good rivalry going with york and its made for an eye-catching fixture.

Golding and Wilson come in to the 21 for Rooks and Sanderson.

Brough and Evans both fit. Id guess Burton and Walker to drop out?

Wonder if we will see Jordan slot in at 9 for a period to rest Doyley. Push Pickers to 6 and bring Golding off the bench for 20 mins or so.

Thats what I would expect us to do. once Hallas is back would expect him to rotate until flanagan back.

No disciplinary update re Fleming yesterday. Must be yellow card sufficient.

Someone's not happy at playing back at Odsal and does have a point! https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/ru ... l-20702328

getting his excuses in early in case they lose.

Find it a shame (but not surprising) that more attention has been put on a few metres of grass, than any actual interest in what should be another cracker of a game, with two crucial points at stake for both teams. Our pitch width has probably had more media attention than any SL game preview for that matter.

Hes a very astute coach is my old mate Fordy. He wont be bothered if we are plaing on an under 12s pitch, hes just using it as an extra motivational tool for his side. Good coaches will use any little thing they can to get the most out of their team and hes a very smart bloke.

He can’t be that smart or he’d know 4 is more like 7% of 55
