Oops!
Plus Storton ha!

I forgot about Roche to be fair.

It's a free hit for us this week

We aren't expected to win, probably not even expected to get close. So we might as well go over there, enjoy the experience, play with a bit of freedom and see what happens.

If we get mullered, so be it. This game won't define our season.

Somebody explain leaving Webster out because of the pitch?

Webster hasn't played at Widnes or Sheffield this year due to the fake grass pitches used. Reckon it's an injury risk for him.

I get ya

Anyone making the trip ?

Doyle wasn't in the early plans for this game so I have to ask , how long does a visa take to come through? That's assuming a visa is necessary, of course, but a week seems a bit quick for any government department.

Canada make you get a bit of a visa (electronic travel authorisation) to land into any of their airports. You can apply online and the results usually come back within a few minutes. Not sure if they would need anything other than that.

Yeah the ETA is an easy process but not sure if the players would need a working visa rather than just the tourist ETA. I assume that its not just the ETA going by reports from other clubs problems over the last few years.

I can't remember the details, but something was done about that in the last year or so. I remember people commending the Canadian authorities on how they've made it so much smoother for visiting players. There were certainly issues in the early days, but I don't think there was nearly as much issue last season.

That said, I'd be surprised if Scott Moore wasn't "injured" the week Rochdale are due to play there.

Safe travells to anyone flighing out.
Im on a fligh tomorrow from manchester. I look forward to bumping in to some you and sharing a couple.of pints.
