O.K. now don't shoot the messenger.

I put this question re DC players playing in favour of contracted ones, to Ricky Bibey, Robbie Paul and Tim Hartley, all said it didnt faze them one bit and that having the competition for places was OK by them and if they had to be dropped for any of those players so be it, Ricky answered that it didnt matter who replaced you you would still be t'eed off but that it should make you fight harder for your place. All three agreed it was good to have the new faces at training it was an added buzz.
Political answer or not? I dont know but I asked it to whom I could tonight.

My Team for Sunday

1. Donalan
2. Alstead
3. Blyth
4. Nanyn
5. Stanton
6. Hartley
7. Paul
8. Hill
9. Duffy
10. Armistead
11. Mitchell
12. Leuluai
13. Taylor

14. Emmett
15. McConnell
16. Morrison
17. McCarthy

I like that team and the best thing about it is, we have several players who could play in the pack or backs if injuries occur, i.e. Duffy and all the Wire players.

I do feel sorry for Morty,AJ, Ridyard and Meekin but they will have heir chances during the season.

Dewsbury is a tough ground to go and win and adding the strength and fitness of SL trained players must help our cause, run their packs legs off like Sunday and we will win.

I'd go with...

1. Maden
2. Alstead
3. Blyth
4. Nanyn
5. Stanton
6. Hartley
7. Paul
8. Hill
9. McConnell
10. Morrison
11. Armistead
12. Leuluai
13. Taylor

14. Emmett
15. Duffy
16. Mitchell
17. McCarthy

why would you feel sorry for players, these 4 players were part of a squad that got relegated. a number of other players were shipped out cos they wernt good enough.these 4 boys have been given another chance lets hope they take it if not then they get shipped out as well. theres no room for dead wood if this club wants to challenge the top 3

no donlan? he had his best game in ages last week!

Also limping, an opportunity to let him fully recover.

I would definately find a place for AJ.

Taylor's tackling was outstanding last week he must play!

wot happened to Morrison on sunday when he was blood binned?

Heres my team for Sunday:

1. Donlon
2. Stanton
3. Nanyn
4. Blythe
5. Alstead
6. Hartley
7. Paul
8. Hill
9. Duffy
10. Morrison
11. McGrafter
12. Mitchell
13. McCarthy

14. Emmett
15. Armistead
16. Taylor
17. McConnell

Only issue here is if 1,2 or 5 gets injured.

Harsh to leave Maden out especially considering his versatility in the
backs but im struggling to find a place for him.

Never seen Blythe play but going off his selection in the team last
week before pulling out I reckon he'll be selected this week.

Off last wks performance Maden should play b4 Alstead i don't think he is 100% fit yet.
