No room for Lilley in this side. He was poor again on Sunday and if you can't make an impact in a game like that against poor opposition when are forwards are so dominant, then I think the writing is on the wall.
If Kear persists with shoehorning him into the side next year, it will be to our detriment.

That won't matter if we lose on Sunday

Asbsolutely. We only need two halves in a game and JK has to decide which two it it is. Before the next game preferably.

Not sure where I am with Hallas. He looks ineffective for long periods and then puts in a solid shift of good work - will the real Sam Hallas stand up, please?

I'm also sitting on the fence with Flanagan. He has to be in the side, but as a starter or off the bench? As old Will Shakespeare once said, "that is the question". The only thing I'm certain of is that I'm not really sure...

Jack Smith the man in the middle on Sunday

We're the RFL's pets, we can have as many chances as we like

What I would like to see is the team come out fired up, and clearly at least as enthused, sharp and pacy as our opponents, playing like they both mean it and believe it.

What I would NOT like to see is a repeat of the York first half debacle, where in a huge game, we don't turn up in the first half, or the MPG where Wakefield visibly seemed to want it more than we did.

If somebody outplays us in a fine hard game, I'm alright with that, but those sort of inexplicable displays I find hard to take.

I think we're all in agreement there FA. I still find it baffling that we came out so passive versus York. Did Kear have them listening to whale song in the dressing room while the joss sticks were burning?

The Oldham 3 have all got one match bans and are missing on Sunday.

Anyone know if the playoffs will be shown on facebook/proper sport?

Proper sport will shoe bulls games and the ouRLeague app will show donny v Worky.

Regarding the hooking role, i'd rather Halafihi be there ahead of Hallas. We absolutely can not afford sloppy distribution on the first tackle. We just have to go set for set with Oldham.

To be fair, whilst we were clearly not at the races early on, I actually thought that it was York who had blundered by expending all their energy so early on, and that very nearly proved to be the case at the end. I don't think I've seen any team come out so energised and run around quite like that. In the end we lost though, so I guess history says we definitely should have tried a bit harder to counter what they did in the first half hour.

Yes but will they allow 3 replacements to play, or do they have to play with 10 men? Against which we still were unable to even look like scoring?
