Luis Roberts can Foxtrot Oscar as far as im concerend. Dont want that prick anywhere near a shirt. Sadly given that we have taken him i presume he will play.

Said it since preseason the balance of the squad was all wrong. Who goes in to a season with only 2 wingers. Its as bad as Kears full back situation last year and Jimmys "we dont need a half back".

Based on the squad announced, I would go:
Jowett
Blackmore
Arundel
Gill
Roberts
Holmes
Patton
Baldwinson
Lilley
Scurr
Appo
Wallace
Thompson

Flanagan Sr
Bibby
Donaldson
Walters

Is Walters a prop now? He was 2nd row last year. Donaldson is still 2nd row. I don’t think Jowitt did enough to start, I think we’ll still be Holmes at FB and Patten/Lilley.

Still a 2nd row. So Appo or Thompson at prop for me.

Holmes
Blackmore
Arundel
Gill
Roberts
Patton
Lawford
Baldwinson
Lilley
Thompson
Wallace
Walters
Donaldson

Flanagan Sr
Scurr (impact from the bench)
Appo
Bibby/Foster

Anyone know why Chester Butler is out?

Nothing in the press or from the club regarding his absence. Assume he picked up a knock in the Midlands cup game.

Jowitt on the bench. Strange one that as he's been playing FB this year. So when he comes on for Flanagan and Lilley goes in at Hooker, Jowitt is either going to go in at HB where he's not been playing, or he goes at FB and Holmes in at HB causing quite a number of positional changes during the game.

What a farce from the touchie. He's no where near the line.

Complete our sets, we win this game.

HT. Safari Sagudi. Keep it up Bulls!

Blackmore and Arundel helped off the field with injuries. Hope it’s not too serious!!

God we make it hard for ourselves! Comfortably the better team for 79 mins.
