I think most fans agree the team needs a shake up but I bet we would all pick a different side I would go with :

1. Ryan Brierley
2. John O Donnell
3. Adam Higson
4. Matt Gardner
5. Johnny Pownall
6. Josh Ward
7. Gregg McNally
8. Tom Spencer
9. Sean Penky
10. Ryan Duffy
11. Stu Littler
12. Tommy Goulden
13. Bob Beswick

14. Martin Ridyard
15. Rob Parker
16. Sam Hopkins
17. Simon Finnigan/Martin Aspinwall

By the way only a bit of fun

Picking a team with Aspinwall out injured & with a no DC basis (Spencer) -
1.Brierley
2.O'Donnell
3.Higson
4.Gardner
5.Pownall
6.Riddy
7.McNally
8.Ostick
9.Penky
10.Parker
11.Littler
12.Goulden
13.Beswick

14.Coyle
15.Finnigan
16.Hopkins
17.Taylor/Briscoe

Well it won't solve our problem for Friday because Spencer will not be playing and Aspinwall is out till July.

Props well we currently only have Parker Ostick Hopkins and Thornley.

Second row I would go for tacklers ie JT and Tommy Goulden.

Loose forward Beswick.

Coyle hopefully will start at scrum half and if we are going to put Riddy on the bench we would have to start with Ryan Brierley at stand off.

Like your 2 and 3 btw.

It doesn't matter who plays where, you're never going to compete when there's a distinct lack of effort and pride.

These players don't become bad uns overnight, lack of concentration and confidence coupled with a very basic game plan that get snuffed out, dealt with and dominated so easily is why they aren't performing to their maximum.

Don't know what happened above Mr.Clown but what I posted was I would not disagree with your selection I just feel Riddy's confidence is shot to pieces at the mo and would benefit from 2/3 games out of the firing line, he should have scored himself at 12-0 down today but from 10 yds out with no one in front of him threw a crazy 30 yd pass to no one. His decision making is a little cloudy at this moment in time.

1. Ryan Brierley
2. John O Donnell
3. Adam Higson
4. Matt Gardner
5. Johnny Pownall
6. Greg McNally
7. Tom Coyle
8. Tom Spencer
9. Ant Nicholson
10. Parker
11. Stu Littler
12. Tommy Goulden
13. Sam Hopkins

14. Penky
15. Ostick
16. Duffy
17. Taylor

Pownall
Ridyard
McNally
Spencer
Penky
Parker
Finnigan
Goulden
Beswick

Coyle
Littler
Duffy
Hopkins

So who would you pick??

Not sure about that Mr Chairman. I think it is more about having a bit of pace in our back 7.



Wether we did not turn up today or not Fax totally ripped our side to shreads today and it was not good to watch from our point of view.

Fev conceded 60 points twice last season and got over it.

Hope we do too and a start would be to introduce that pace and drop forwards whose defensive capabilities are questionable.

Re our players having a laugh about conceding another very soft try not very sensible when our support was standing shell shocked behind the posts where it happened.

We have no centres though

Incorrect, we have Aspinwall (our best centre, but injured) and O'Donnell.

Is o donnell up to this level yet? That's why j had him on the wing and aspinwall is out all season I believe

Mo , i saw you there , so i know you care about the team , and will listen and respect your opinions , maybe not agree with them , but respect them , we all can pick our best 17 for Friday and beyond , and few be the same , but give the lads a chance , i was embarrased yesterday , but performances like this happen in sport , hopefully it wont happen again , it may do though .

I said yesterday a few players were not good enough , but where and how do we replace them ?We have no finances , they are contracted players , we must therefore persevere and try giving more effort , bagging the Coach , or the lads wont help , its very hard , but lets get behind them and show we care .
