a little bit of more disapointment comes our way Certain Players will be played more than are necessarly needed due to our injury problems but in the long run it should help their progression & us as a team grow. Despite us having many injury's once we have a full team again with the likes of Bibey & others back & as fit as they can be we should be a really strong side in the championship.

Looking pretty light in the front row with all these injuries, which I imagine would mean Armitstead filling in at prop with Hill, Morrison and Cunniffe?

Think Oldham will give us a very stern test though.

If these prop injuries continue Goulden, Taylor and Army will have to fill in (dont say they cant as for a few scrums on sunday Army and Leulai were propping -thats in the scrum - in open play is a different matter)

I wonder if Oldham try taking Tommy Goulden out on sunday

my team vs oldham would be

1.Mort
2.Maden
3.Alstead
4.Nanyn
5.Stanton
6.Hartley
7.Paul
8.Hill
9.Mcconnell
10.Morrison
11.Taylor
12.Higson
13.Goulden

i wonder when the dual registration players come into things?

probably after Wednesdays Warrington V Wigan game Wayne

he shud be back this sunday

Maybe they are holding out on the dual contracts as long as they can to be careful with the clubs funds. The club & ourselves don't know how many supporters will attend regualrly this season in the championship (exempting season tickets obviously) so they may be playing safe right now but if in a match we suffer a embarressing defeat that should change their mind pretty soon.

Donlan
Stanton
Nanyn
Higson
Alstead
Ridyard/Hartley
Paul
Hill
McConnell
Taylor
Leuluai
Goulden
Duffy

Morrison
Meekin
Hartley/ridyard
Armistead

Like to see some runners in the back row on loan, when Nash/Bibey are back we will have a first rate front row setting a platform for our playmakers

Me thinks a little bird has spoken into Mo's earhole

Higson is not a centre so why play him there - Surely we can muster up 4 half decent threequarters!

don't talk wet he plays well in either position & is suited in both

1. Donlan
2. Alstead
3. Hartley
4. Nanyn
5. Stanton
6. Ridyard
7. Paul
8. Hill
9. McConnell
10. Armistead
11. Taylor
12. Leuleui
13. Goulden

Subs:-

14. Duffy
15. Mort
16. Morrison/Higson
17. Meekin

Isn't Donlan unavailble this weekend due to that knock to the knee against Dire? I wouldn't exspect to see him this Sunday.
