Tone shame on you not knowing what Diving Boots are,the deep sea divers used to wear them, walking on the bottom of the sea, they were filled with lead weights to stabilise the Divers.On the Lee Smith subject,it seems nobody can shed any light as to why he is not included in the Squad, though I'm happy with McNally at full back,I think his defence should be sharpened up .

| Try being a full back with someone of Caton Brown's speed running at you one on one.
If the attacking player does not score he has failed.
Odds are stacked in the attackers favour 70/30 at least.
I'm sure at some point McNally won one of those and saved a certain try.
Smith never let us down.
Greg gives us something no-one else in our squad gives us.
Greg every day for me unfortunately for Smith.
It doesn't help his cause with the additions of Brown and Dawson and the form of Higson and skill of Tonga.
If fit, I still see him playing a part.

Unless injuries hit us, our back line is nailed on as being Higson,Brown, Tonga, and Dawson, it's the best back line we have had for a while, Derek has delivered the goods,we as Fans must support the Team now.Our pack has been monstrous all season and now Riddy and Drinkwater are beginning to click,it's a toss up at full back, at the moment Greg has the jersey,and you can't offer Lee Smith a spot on the bench, or can you?It's also a shame for Reynods and Burns not getting in.
Now we have reached the middle 8s it's no use using the Squad rotation as a method of team selection, you play your best 17,the question is will Acton get back into the Squad?When all the forwards are fit he probably won't, a few fans have criticised Danny Tickle , yet last week he was our top tackler and yardage maker.For me the forwards are a shoe in as Weston, Higham,Moi Moi,Hansen,Matuia,Patterson,with a bench of Hood, Hock,Hopkins,and Tickle,man for man this Squad is pure class, good enough to beat Hudds and HKR ?Of course it is,but first let's see what happens at Fev tomorrow.Charlie knows.

Charlie, my owd mucker. Take this from me.
Tom Armstrong is definitely a starting three quarter tomorrow.
Tom is class, a 2017 SL player.
He has also gone on record to say he has unfinished business and he is determined to see our club secure SL status this season. He is not going to let anyone down.

| Unless one of the three quarters is injured, then Armstrong playing again would be a bizarre selection. He's not played for ages and this isn't a game to be taking liberties with. More important than last weeks game.

| According to the match programme Arstrongs last game was 15th July against Sheffield. It was also the last time Smith played.

| Nothing major at all, one player has come down with a slight virus and been forced to make way for Tom. Class replaced with class.
Looking forward to this, very much so.

Harold I BOW to your knowledge I thought the team I selected was nailed onto be the 17 squad,obviously I am not privy to illness or injuries,I still the team is extremely strong ,I'm an admirer of Armstrong ,I just felt the back line should be unchanged.I may see you tomorrow we shall be in the Fev Hotel before the game.

Maybe something minor then?

LF , watching McNally again today , not impressed he let the ball bounce and Fev scored off this mistake,give me Lee Smith every time, of course only my opinion as you have yours.

Charlie I have to agree, Lee Smith has done nothing wrong since he arrived & deserves his place in the team.
At this stage we need a safe & solid full back, forget chiming into the line, he should be in, G Mac has sat out a lot of the season, not his fault but defence will win matches.

Ste, nowt wrong with agreeing with me I think Lee Smith would have attempted to take the ball on the full yesterday,though it does come down to confidence,MaNally is good in attack and support ,have you heard anything about Smith?As nobody seems to know anything.I thought Fev played well yesterday,and credit must go to them for the performance.
