Who do you think will/should be selected for the next match? Thought I read a post saying that you had a new signing lined up. Does anyone know who this is? Would you bring in Cookson, Rudd, Thomas or maybe even recall Hatton or Cunniffe? How would you change your line up from Saturday, if at all?

If the following team is fit and available on the day then this IS what should be played.


1 - Donlan
2 - Stewart
3 - Rudd
4 - Higson
5 - Reay
6 - Ridyard
7 - Watson
8 - Hobson
9 - Durbin
10 - Hill
11 - Armistead
12 - Taylor
13 - Smith

14 - Morrison
15 - Cookson
16 - Marsh
17 - McConnell




FFS...................I hope NK reads this!!!!

No Mort? Best player in recent weeks for me!

the back line looks so slow i wouldnt drop stanton

...and realizes he knows better

May be, but not the best 1 at the club and unfortunatley he would struggle anywhere else in this team at this moment in time IMHO so whilst its harsh that needs to be accepted for the good of the TEAM at this moment in time, that does'nt however mean that I think he is a bad player because I don't and he still has plenty time on his side.

I am not so sure about that, but each to their own.

Stanton defensively is a risk and risks need to be put to one side right now.

1 - 5 we are solid defensively and have enough ability to put points on the board, granted we may have slightly more pace available elsewhere in the squad from players who have not been selected but some of those players present slightly more risk in other aspects of the game.

Hobson should be nowhere near the team on current form imho.

put mort on wing reay to fullback maden defence is very poor dos nt look intrested to me put donlan at standoff

Mort should be in team plays with plenty of heart for the club and he scores tries n goals.

i really cant believe what i am readng

hobson was the reason that we got beat by barrow= if he had played the barrw forward wouldnt have ran all over us in the 2nd half

mort needs a good run of form in one position instead of being swiched about or not even getting a game so he can gain confidence and play on that

donlan is a centre and always will be and i cant believe someone has put that he should play 6= were do you think that up lol

stewart isnt a winger end of lol

and finally stanton does really well at clearing the ball from acting half back early in the sets and sets the pace of the set by getting a quick play the ball

Where did he play at Saints?

Donlan and Higson are both injured.

Si - Mort has had a continuous run at full back and, although I think we do need to find a spot for him in the team (probably on the wing), he has been making too many similar mistakes, game after game. Donlan is injured, as I say, but he is being wasted at centre as his defensive capabilities aren't being utilised completely (he can't tackle them all on his own) while he's seeing somewhere in the region of bugger all of the ball.

Still, with the number of injuries we've got, we'll be doing well to have 17 players on Thursday who will hopefully make up for yesterday's game.
