Perhaps I need my head examining, but I fully expect us to win at least two if not all three of the remaining games. I think with McRae's brilliant motivational methods we should be winning these games by a margin, his insight is second to none, why would Sky have him if this was not the case. He will have them in at 6.00am each day from now on and train the house down and get up the fitness levels. Mistakes will be analysed, game plans will be revamped players coached out of their mistakes and will bond as a team playing for each other, backing up every move, waiting for the offload exploiting the oppositions weaknesses and prevailing with a win.

Nice.

Salford City Reds’ Jeremy Smith has been fined £300 and handed a one-match ban following his dismissal for using foul and abusive language to referee Ben Thaler during the 60-16 Engage Super League defeat by Crusaders RL.

He will now miss the Hull Kingston Rovers clash on Sunday 15th August 2010 at the Willows.

Alker and Smith both out this weekend then. Should be interesting to see who plays at hooker.

Ian Smith will be reffing.

Sorry don't you mean.

Maybe Ratchford and Sneyd at 6 and 7, with Matty Smith at 9?

Would love to see that!!

Dont forget McRae has previously used Ashley Gibson as Hooker.

Looking at it that would make the most sense but this is Mcrae so I doubt it'll happen



Looking at a possible team for Sunday we may struggle to fill the bench if we're still missing Leuluai
Jewitt & Sibbit add to that last week's loses Alker, Smith (J) & Henry, we could be calling on all our kids. Actually we could virtually play a team of youngsters!

1. Palfrey – 20
2. Tyrer – 21
3. Gibson – 23
4. McGilvray – 22
5. Broughton – 22
6. Sneyd – 18/19
7. Ratchford – 21
8. Boyle – 22
9. Smith (M) – 23
10. Neal – 20
11. Sidlow – 22
12. Adamson – 22
13. Spencer – 19
14. Wood – 18/19

Yeah we'd get smashed but hey, just think back a week or so and look what happened with a near full side out! All but Palfrey and Wood have played Super league, although there are a few decent lads in the u20's/18's that could be worth a run before the end of the season.

However I doubt it'll look anything like that.

thought palfry was injured?

He was in the advertiser last week at that before the bench thing
