Chisholm's 'off the cuff' play is brilliant when it comes off but dire when it doesn't. It can go either way. We can assume he's still in a 'trying to impress mode' but even that can go awry when you maybe try too hard, as you might when playing against your old mates.

Only an 18 man squad announced. Grant the only winger.
Is this another balls us by our social media team or is there a player announcement coming later on today.
Its been mentioned on another thread Joe Brown has re signed??

So what, Dane did this constantly then did he? To such an extent that JK effectively booted him out of the club?

John Kear made a huge call and he needs to prove he made the right one in the long run. He has a long way to go before I'm convinced, and I still don't think Lilley will ever come good.

I suspect there's more to it than that but I've only heard rumours and have no proof so won't be putting anything on here.

18 man squad announced? Flanagan back in contention.

Looks like i was right.

So this 18 man squad - is this a case of having so few players available? If so, how?

Would anybody wanna guess what our back line might look like?

Presumably Joe Brown will be added to that 18?

Otherwise why only name 18, when they could have simply put in Foggin-Johnson, if injured, then Josh Rickett?

Winner of today's game wins the Peter fox trophy great man

Well well well. Alix Stephenson in for Peltier in a late change.

I think there are mind games going on here - Fev put out a tweet comparing Chisholm and Lilley's stats since Chizzy has been in the UK (obviously didn't look good for Lilley).

Does anyone else find our team selections strange? Wea probably have the biggest squad in the league and have a full back/half back on the wing, our most effective backrower playing centre and our impact prop is taken ill so we replace him with a full back playing his first game!!!!

Very strange - Kear talked about selecting a team based upon the tactical approach employed especially taking into account the weather. I'd have thought swapping out a front rower for an inexperienced pivot at the 11th hour flies in the face of the intended tactical approach!

does seem an odd lineup. Whats wrong with webster and grant? thought they were both in 19 man squad.
