kopzcak will be playing sunday

maybe mullally will drop out or maybe anderson will rest another one of the props patrick or fielden

Fielden ought to play against his old club too! if it were up to me I'd have eorl, fielden and kopczak on the team sheet already. I'd like to see mullally given a go as Patrick hasn't shone for me since the first half of last season-he looked very strong at wakey- at was really miffed when he had to come off as a BB substitution- BUT it's going to be a physical game and mullally may not have the required fitness.

bookies going Giants -12 for this one...

Hope people don't get sucked in to doing us on the handicap, as Wakey proved a win is a win and having to win by over 2 converted tries is rarely a gimme especially in a game like this.

1. Scott Grix

2. Luke George

3. Leroy Cudjoe

4. Joe Wardle

5. Jermaine McGillvary

6. Danny Brough

7. Luke Robinson

8. Eorl Crabtree

9. Shaun Lunt

10. Craig Kopczak

11. Brett Ferres

13. David Faiumu

15. Larne Patrick

16. Jason Chan

17. Ukuma Ta'ai

18. Aaron Murphy

19. Jamie Cording

20. Jacob Fairbank

22. Anthony Mullally


No Fielden

Pleased Jerry made it back in the 19 was concerned when he went off at Wakey, that is one big unit, even without Fielden

Interesting, seems like squad rotation to me, Kopczak, Eorl, Mullally and Larne as props then. Assuming Jerry is fit Luke George to miss, but does Ta'ai come in and for whom? Cording or Fairbank?

Must confess I think Cording has been getting better and better so does not deserve to miss out, also offers cover in the backs, though not sure that is a huge thing in his favour as moving Leroy to wing last week significantly weakened us defensively imo and allowed Lauatiti into the game.

no fielden, no big surprise always knew we would be looking after him this season, and mullally did ok last week.

ta'ai i think will play in place of cording or fairbank..

good win by the under 19s last night too v bradford...

that zac mccomb got another try..thats 4 in 2 games! is he a centre or wing?

I also think cording is getting better- he looked pretty fired up against wakey too which was a surprise as he hasn't shown that side before. Fairbank has done nothing wrong but hasn't really shone going forward but as usual his defence has been very solid. Ta'ai looked like he had some pretty good ball handling skills- would be nice to see him at 13 but probably won't have the match fitness to do that just yet.

Isn't he a Cas lad? Perhaps he just doesn't like them much?

Think hes a Flatcapper

Like to see mullally play again.
Taaimu too.
And sunshine would be nice.
And 2 refreshment stalls in the main stand.
And being within 1000 on the c and g half time draw - actually the right colour would be a pleasant change tbh.

All I want is two points!

Undoubtedly a really tough game for us as we haven't been 100% convincing since the saints game. Would love to see the lads just play basic rugby and wear down the Bradford side with our size advantage down the middle and run away with it in the second half
As it has been said respect possession! This has been our biggest potential killer, can't go on every game defending like life depending on it! Would be nice to.have a nice early comfy margin in our favour.
