It's got 'Whacking Great Banana Skin' written all over it! Yes a decent run recently but it's not long since we got an absolute d!cking from Leigh.

Swinton will view us as getting all 'Bertie Big Ballocks' so will doubly be up for it, will disrupt as much as possible and generally be out to wind up so if we have one ounce of arrogance about us this week we'll have our kegs round our ankles before you can say bye bye top 5.

Let's hope that spirit is back for good!

Any news on Green or Evans being close to returning?

I'd certainly take that.

Back end July I red for Evans. Not sure Green.

I think its likely Crossley will return to the fold and I'd expect Bustin to drop out (he looked well out of shape on Saturday leaving the majority of the gaps that Toulouse exposed in that second 20min spell), so expect us to lose some of that momentum we've generated in the middle of the field these last two games.

I think Storton might have a chance coming back in if he's inclined to give someone a rest but thats not really Kear's style.

Green said in a recent interview hed be back for the york game and i think Evans is still 3 weeks away.

Crossley will obviously be back in if fit
Joe Brown travelled to Toulouse so u wonder if he will come in as well?
Would it be a bit risky giving Webster a week of to ensure hes there for the massive game at York the week after? (id like to think we could beat Swinton with out him)
I guess it would be pretty harsh dropping people after the last few weeks performances but its a great headache to have.

Look I don't ask for much but I made a wonderful pun days ago now and no one has done a LOL. You heartless sods.

Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn't mean it

I have put us down for a big win. I think we can do that if the weather holds, and if we come out of the traps running again and get straight on top.

So attitude is everything. Swinton may be lower end but are not mugs as recent results have proved, but if I wanted to tempt fate I would say we show ominous signs of coming into some decent form at the business end. But as I don't, i won't say it.

Not sure what Bustin has done wrong. He 's been immense, I'm assuming he's injured.

Maybe Hallas will be used at loose, with Wildie and Doyle sharing the hooking role and one of Storton/Farrell/Garside getting a rest?

Pickersgill
Ryan
Oakes
Webster
Hitchcox
Keyes
Lilley
Kirk
Wildie
Magrin
Minchella
Farrell
Hallas

Doyle
Wood
Peltier
Storton

Grant and Garside miss out.

I think the club should have petitioned to move this game to Saturday teatime simply because of the Bradford City Vs Liverpool friendly match which is being played at the same time and might cut some attendance from the gate

He really struggled in France. He came on at about 20 minutes and our middle defence evaporated

Its always the same issue with Bustin, happened against Batley this year, was taken off after 5 minutes, he needs to manage himself to play longer minutes consistently.
