The Fev game is huge and they will be right up for it. We’re starting to find some form but they are too. I’d feel more comfortable with a fit Clough, Clark and Kavanagh in the side.

As for Gaskell he’s not been the same since he got his jaw broken to be honest but part of that may be to do with him playing in a side with no other playmakers around him and the squad being generally fed up under Lowes.

If he’s fit I’d pick him in the 17 at least. Now he’d be alongside some more creative players so there would be less responsibility on him. As has been said he could be very valuable if we beat Fev and could feature more in the 8s.

It surely had to be that. I can understand a leg injury changing your style of play or never quite being recovered from, but a jaw? The only way that affects you is mentally if you're scared to go into a tackle, but Gaskell doesn't seem like the sort. If it had been Karl Pryce....

Didn't expect to get this chance after Fax game. Just hope they can get goal kicking sorted for weekend. It went some way to our defeat in MPG so hope it won't happen again v.Fev

Just tried to buy two tickets. Initial allocation already gone, expecting more in the morning.

There would appear to be some interest, then. Good. I can no longer attend for health reasons but will keep my fingers crossed.

Not got ours yet. Better get me skates on then.

I'm going to try again in an hour, on the off chance that they're collecting an additional allocation now. Otherwise I would get on the blower early doors.

Even are lass is coming to the Fev game - have our tickets already

The weather can't be worse than it was last year at the PO Road - it did all four seasons that day and my hands were bloody freezing.

Yeah that was the coldest I've been at the rugby in years.

Not sure that anyone is really saying Fev will definitely be 'at their best', just that Fev will definitely be up for it and will come out all guns blazing. We may, or may not, have to be at our very very 'best' to win, but we'll sure as hell have to be up for the physical battle and we'll have to match them, or we'll be in for a torrid afternoon.

Sky are missing a massive opportunity in not televising this game

I understand they have requested 500 more. May need more than that.

You will still be able to pay on the day not going to sell 8500 tickets last years million pound game didnt even get that attendance.

Daft as it sounds I think it is to our advantage that it is not at Odsal. We seem to play better away.
