moving on from the leeds defeat where we showed alot of effort and commitment its now crunch time to actually get the win against a team who is expected to be out of the top 8

campese returning for them will be a big boost, not sure if lunt will return too.

crabtree expected back for us, hopefully wardle/wood too

we cant afford to fall further behind the pack now , big game!!

Hopefully we will get a win under our belts, otherwise the knee's won't be jerking but truly clattering!

seriously though, it would be nice to get some players back, but then it's getting those players match fit, which is a different thing altogether. that could take up until the easter fixtures!

Rervers haven't started that brightly but with a new coach in, who is a bit of a legend over in West Rotterdam, it could give them a lift.

Every minute matters is definitely the case for us now.
For once I'd take points over performance. I couldn't care less if it's our worst performance of the year if we get 2 points.

I haven't been worried about our season yet but a loss this week I think we'll mentally be shot.

a loss this week will see mean chances of top four will be extremely unlikely, after the split our season could well be meaningless - unless of course we lose to wakey as well and then after the split our season will be more important than its been for a while!!!!
we need Eorl back this week!

i don't think a defeat will be all that bad to be honest, we know and probably everyone else knows that we are bound to improve once we get some players, and cohesion back.
other teams are going to slip up i'm sure.
mentally, it could go the other way, knowing that we are getting some bodies and experience back could give us a boost?

I'm sure other teams will slip up- but expecting them to slip up 5 times more than us for the remainder of the season may be a little too much to expect!

exactly.. losing 5 on the trot would be a disaster 10 points behind!

We lost these exact same fixtures last season

Just saying

But we also beat Wire three times which wont happen this season.

Hull also look less like a pushover as well.

not improved then! we didnt lose to widnes at home?

not 4 on the trot either at the start

jordan tansey comes in for us then for a month

talented player who has lost his way in the past

full back for us? allows connor to go back in the halves . options if wardle and wood return too

new to this forum, does anyone know what players we have back fit this weekend

Crabtree I think is the only definite at the moment.

crabtree, wood, wardle
