S'long as there's no carrots in I'd give it a go, well we haven't had a lobby thread for ohh at least two weeks, like everything else it must be time.

Agree with this.
The only other thing I'd ask is does anyone know if Sam is match fit , I know he got a game at Workington recently on Dual Reg but has he played since ?

I presume as we are asking clubs for players (or they are offering them to us) we cannot bring our own players back to the club who we have out on loan ?

Heathen.

I love reading the comments for the pros and cons of playing Sam tomorrow and I have come to the conclusion that what ever Paul does he is not going to be popular with everyone, but as a fan I will support his decision to play the team he thinks will get us the win we need.so come on Leythers let's get behind the team tomorrow and sing your harts out for the lads.

What seems obvious is that we have a depleted team so you and I need to create that extra man

Agreed.

Squad still strong even with a few out, no need to recall anyone as of yet, and re Sam would people prefer him playing for us or against us?
I think Neil Jukes cleared up how the loan came about in his interview on LC TV.

Exactly what Everyone needs to realise. I can't imagine any other Champ team turning down the chance to have him in their team.
Just imagine being an prop, knowing Hoppy, Spenner, Unit and Oli are going to be charging at you all game.

Hope acton plays today. Thought he was excellent last week

Acton scares the bejeebus out of me so god knows what he does to the opposition.

Acton s ear looked a mess when he came in the pitch at the end but he looked ok, probably didn't come back as as a pre caution. Him and OLLI are best props yesterday.

Agree with Olly Wilkes, he had a stormer of a game. Acton wasn't on long enough, and whilst it was some hit in the tackle, the fact he never came back on really put the pressure on the other forwards fitness. They had to do longer spells which contributed to the closeness of the game.

I thought Sam Hopkins looked really off the pace on Sunday. Rochdales second try was purly down to Sam being lazy getting back into the defensive line.

Once he gets match fit, he will be a great addition to the squad. Would not surprise me if he will be with us for the season, especially now he is cup tied for Wigan

Said the same myself was surprised how quickly Sam tired he wasn’t anywhere near match fit. Supposed he may have had to put more minutes in than was originally planned with the Acton injury.
