saturday

think gaskell and murphy will be back for this one so at least we will have our first choice half back pairing back on the pitch with frawley/gaskell

see nothing other than another defeat really.

grix full back again? mcintosh on the wing?

taai unlikely to return with his visa issue.

murphy to start instead of roberts whos been a waste of space for past 18months.

Hello again Hudd.fans .We played a lot better against Castleford that the score suggests. As usual the club never says what is going on and there has been no explanation of why Mcilorum and Jullien ,key players for us and in the 19 ,did not play .Broughton is still not fit so Mead has to play right wing and Langi in the centre . I would prefer Tomkins in the centre ,Langi at half back and Gigot full back .If we get Mcilorum and Jullien back I think we should win,otherwise all bets are off

How the lads react this week will I think speak volumes. If woolford gets a reaction from then and we see more energy and effort then we will be ok going forward. If it’s more of the same as Friday it’s going to be a long season. I do not expect a win, but if they are competitive I’ll be happy.

sounds like farrell will again partner frawley. think if ollie russell was available he would play but with leigh, also holmes not fit

murphy to return to the second row.

taai 50/50 which means he wont play then

murphy and roberts return to try get us the win

Roberts played against Salford or are you referring to the fact he was anonymous?

Don’t expect anything tomorrow I think we’d be lucky to not loose by at least 20 but hope lads show a bit more effort than against Salford

says it all, not seen him since the world cup for ireland to be honest and that new contract

mead missing for catalan

mickey mac back for them

see the club have gone out for 3 days... not just flying in and flying out

Well it was a better, more energised effort. It fell apart when the team had to be switched around. Difficult to pick a stand out player. Again our star players didn’t shine. Probably Murphy before he got switched Outside, or Darnell -if nothing else for that brilliant chase down tackle to save the try.

Would like to see Roberts, Walne, Grix and Farrell dropped for the wire game and go:

Darnell
Jerry
Jake Wardle
Turner
Uate
Gaskell
Frawley
Matagi
O Brien
English
Joe Wardle
Murphy
Bruno

Seb
Taai
Mellor
Leeming

If Grix gets the nod over Darnell when Jerry is back - i give up
Ollie Roberts a shadow of the player he was 2 seasons ago.

Not sure young wardle will play but I agree with the above squad, and the comment about Roberts. Long contract syndrome appears to have set in there.
Faz doesn’t deserve to be dropped for me he’s offered more than frawley - but looks like he sustained an injury so won’t play anyway.
Walne hasn’t been terrible but you’d have taai in over him if available.

Walne has been good these last 2 games showed a lot more effort than most in my opinion

Agree - he's been far from terrible.

Impressively physical by you lot, I thought. Not too many sides go over there and better them at the rough stuff. I'd be encouraged at any rate, given the number of absentees.
