Not a bad Dewsbury side IMO :Craven, Wainwright, Faal, Turner, Buchanan, Walker, Wandless, England, Horton, Hirst, Spicer, Bibb, Roberts

£13 for a friendly? Is that not a bit steep?

Horton? Isn't that the Bulls' Johnny Horton??

Yeah it's Johnny Horton mate.

Not as bad as what Wakefield charged back in 2008.

So is he on Dual Register or has he signed for them?

Not 100% on what has happend pal, but will enquire for you.

cheers mate.

Horton has been signed by Dewsbury on a permanent contract

thanks for the info. Gutted but definatly the right choice as he's behind Diskin, L'Estrange and O'Brien. Hope he goes well at Dewsbury.

apparently a strong squad going to Dewsbury too.

Yep, which it needs to be really, pointless playing the reserves at this point (except at Keighley when we have another game 2 days later). Squad due to be announced tomorrow morning.

Only ones you can pretty much definitely rule out are Halley, Scruton & Diskin (as according to Connor's latest video, Scrutes & Disko are only back in full training next week after hernia ops).

wonder if they will hold elima back as well so he can debut in front a home crowd against wakey and boost gate a bit (although diskin will likely be debuting that game anyway so could serve same purpose).

Why how much were they asking? Only the majority of their supporters last week seemed to think it was far too much for a friendly!
Personally I don't mind £13.00 for any pro game, the likes of Fax charge up to £19.00 entry in the new stand, & if I remember rightly £17.00 to sit in the opposite side. Far too much for championship rugby more acceptable in the super league!
Out of interest what are the gate prices up at Odsal this time? Fantastic deal on the season tickets by the way, well done to the club for that. I very nearly invested, but stuck the my Rams ticket only.

Hope you enjoy Sunday (not too much) and hope to see plenty of you there.

Interesting you mention Fax. If their prices were cheap, I'd probably go quite a bit now that I live there. But with the gate prices set at what they are, I can't justify paying that to go and watch a game that isn't my team, when I'm fairly skint as it is.

It's a shame a few of the lower league clubs can't make their prices cheaper to encourage Super League fans to go to their games too (I know a couple do). I suppose it's all about economics though and they obviously think they make more money from some fans going at higher prices than more fans going at lower ones.
