Sheff 97 anyone ... went down there with a broken leg, crutches thrashing wildly .... im still amazed how far we've fallen but a huge bulls heart is still there and is just as important

So we played Wakefield in the mpg last year. Is next week's game at Fev the 1/2 million pound game ?

No, that'd be the middle 8 game against Leeds should we get through and get them at Odsal

we gotta get there first ... Fev have been doing it quietly, this is not going to be easy

We did what we needed to do today. Our fate is now in our own hands. It sounds like we maybe getting some bodies back at the right time of the season too! Gutted to be missing the game next week. Will be glued to Twitter next Sunday.

Any news on Chisholm? Was he removed for a rest?

Oh what a game next week will be. Getting wins at Batley and Fax is no easy task. We have to have our best performance of the season next week.

Good thing is we always seem to have the right mindset for these sorts of games.

Think all the players brought off were precautions.


How good is Keiren Moss? He was like a magnet for the ball today.

If we get Gaskell back what about playing him at right centre?

Be some serious strike power in the back line.

Not good enough defensively for centre. Gaskell at 6 and Charnock 13 for me

Well and truly in our hands now. The great escape almost completed.

I was thinking about the money at half time when we play Fev.

Win and we could even finish 3rd plus possible big pay days in the play offs and a decent pay from RFL next year.
Lose and we finish 5th with hardly any crowds in play offs and much smaller income from RFL next year.

It really is a massive game financially for us next week. Imagine how Green will be feeling - the difference between signing a few "better" players or making do with a chopped down squad of more average players.

If only we had this squad in the MPG last year against Wakey. Chisholm alone would have made the difference.

You're forgetting that Jimmy would still have been in charge, so Addy would have been our 7 and Chisholm would be in a role unsuited to him, such as a bench interchange hooker, a la Sijeka!

Is Charnock strong enough down the middle though?, how do we play him going forward?

Surley we can't expect him to cart the ball in every set or two so that may take away some grunt and go forward, and for me a ball player calling shots at 13 is a case of "too many cooks spoil the broth".

It was just a thought, seem to have hit some form with LC and DC at HB and don't see any point in tipping over the apple cart.

We will start a prop at 13 next week my guess Kavanagh will start there.

Extra kicking practice required.

The back line and halves will probably be the same next week, just a shuffle and tweak of the pack and bench I reckon.

Is Clough far off fitness? We could do with his reliability next week.
