Well brierley will get his chance for at least one game- perhaps two.
19s have a game against cas at the weekend and are down to bare bones so unlikely any new youngsters will feature against swinton.

Why are so many writing the season off and defeatist. We are only 10 games in and things look to be improving slightly. Every team goes through rough patches, and have to work through it. Plenty of sides are no better, but are getting the 50/50 calls and lucky bounce of the balls which we are not getting at the moment. We only lost to Catalan by 7 points, but today the Catalans hammered Salford by 30 plus, and Salford are the second best side, so how do you evaluate results like that.

I would put Izaac Farrell and Brierley in against Swinton, I like Farrell when I saw him against Bradford in the friendly and thought then that he should be worth a place this season. He is a good up and coming half back.

The 19s are struggling with injuries, not sure we will see izaac as they have a game against cas on sat

you would think it will be brierley and gaskell at half back for cup game

gaskell went off for head assessment during wire game, he came back on but not sure if it was within the 15mins..they have to miss next game if over 15mins?

l was not being negative, nor do l think we will go down, posters are calling for certain players to be got rid of, l was simply stating its not that simple. we do have some average players on unusually long contracts? and l doubt those kind of players will want to leave, in fact l,m pretty sure they won,t want to leave. If you really don,t want a player, then you have to do a deal with him, his agent, or buy him out. if you think we need wholesale changes, the fastest, cheapest, and easiest way is relegation.
Personelly l think Stone, and the players will turn it around, and we will make the 8, but we certainly need more grunt up front, and the backs need settleing, only 2, 3, and 6 seem assured. l think Mamo will get 1, and McIntosh 5 but not sure, 4,7,??, and Breirley?, another long contract that doesn,t seem to fit.

Banned for 1 match. Failing to control his language is starting to get tedious!

Yep- it certainly is!
