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.

[iMr Ian Smith will be refereeing the game between Salford City Reds and Hull Kingston Rovers.[/i

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

At The Willows

That bloody red tunnel! Why do the stewards think its a good idea to bring it out still with a few minutes left?!?!

That's 3 tries I've not been able to see this season because of it. Granted all to opponents but that's not the point

Probably to have a quicker exit for the players/officials closer to the field of play so that they're less likely to get hit by anything or receive some up-close abuse by having to walk past the fans - at a guess anyway.

Also (as I think there is one on it) another way to get in some advertising for a sponsor...?

Will be a close game i think , hope its decent weather .

[iI hope your right?

It would be great to see plenty of your fans at the Willows on Sunday have a safe journey.
