Well yeah, printing out your ticket definitely saves the time queuing in the shop but you'll still have to have your ticket scanned when you enter the ground. If it's a bit blowy, or infinitely worse raining a bit, and you've printed it out on, say, a normal piece of 70 or 80 gsm A4, then expect to take some time whilst they try and keep it still and/or intact, whilst waving it about in front of the screen trying to get their phones to accept it. Let's also not forget there will be a queue of people in front, most trying to do the same....to be honest, I worry far more about other aspects of the club's commercial activities than the illiterate website!

Mind, we've all been saying about how this has all failed during the 'practice sessions' of pre season and how, hopefully, they'll put it right when the season starts....Mmmm.

Simple printed admission ticket at friendlies for me, can't remember whether it was windy or raining but worked like a dream

Any coach with a brain would use this to give Chisolm some game time....why wouldn't you. Even if only the last 20 mins.

Aaron Bower on twitter has confirmed (presumably with Kear) than Chisholm will be on the bench for Sunday's game.

Squad is already announced (a day early?)

Bustin
Chisholm
Crossley
Flanagan
Garside
Gibson
Grant
Halafihi
Hallas
Johnson
Keyes
McNally
Minchella
Milton
Peltier
Pickersgill
Ryan
Smith
Wood


McNally
Grant
Gibson
Smith
Ryan
Keyes
Minchella
Crossley
Flanagan
Wood/Bustin
Garside
Johnson
Hallas

Chisholm
Peltier
Wood/Bustin or Halafihi
Milton/Pickersgill

That is a pretty decent looking squad. Get Oakes, Kirk and Davies back and Kear will actually have some selection headaches.

What's happened to Kirk? Is he injured or just dropped?

West Wales have also announced their squad (18 players) for the tie. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any of the usual places that lists any real info on the players (like for example their positions). Not on their website, not on Wikipedia. So who plays where? Anyone's guess until Sunday.

Archie Snook
Ash Bateman
Connor Parker
Craig Lewis
Dalton Walker
Dean Higgs
Ellis Simon
Fraser Stroud
Harrison Elliott
Harry Boots
James Smith
Kurtis Haile
Louis Ford
Morgan Evans
Rowland Kaye
Shaun Tennant
Steve Parry
Taine Hendy

Parry is a hooker if that helps

I don't want to assist the opposition in any way,but it is common knowledge that 5/6 players from the squad are currently in Australia,with the national side in the Commonwealth Championships.
We have also sustained injuries in a pre-season game at London Skolars,and another 'usual' name is missing from the 18 named hitherto.
Beware the wounded dragon!

Managed to find the teamsheet that was due to play last weekend, which has 16 of those 18 on it, so worked it out!

Team would likely be:
(Fullback)
James Smith
Kurtis Haile
Morgan Evans
Louis Ford
Ashley Bateman
Fraser Stroud
Harrison Elliott
Dean Higgs
Dalton Desmond-Walker
Archie Snook
Shaun Tennant
Connor Parker
SUBS
Harry Boots
Craig Lewis
Rowland Kaye
Ellis Simon

The Fullback from the previous game isn't one of the 18, but Taine Hendy appears to be a winger, so I would assume him or one of the other wingers would fill that place. Steve Parry may come in to replace a hooker (he signed late, which would explain why he wasn't down to play last week).

Must admit, I consider myself fairly well up on Rugby League outside of Bradford, but I don't know many of those players. Hope Bradford don't underestimate them based on similar reasoning (although I doubt Kear would allow that)

Thanks, Mr Chops. Who is our man to watch?

Steve Parry is the only one I know from the above.Hes a lively sort who has scored plenty of tries with various semi pro welsh clubs(Ironmen,Scorpions etc) and also Glos All golds where he picked up a couple of Player of season awards as well.Saw him play for Wales in all there World Cup Games was one of the few pluses.JK will know all about him havin been his coach.
