There's no doubt at all that we'll have a dip in form somewhere in the season. Who knows, maybe even sooner than later. It's good to have the points on the board for when that happens though!

no things dont look good for feka.

MM has changed his style of play. Hes slimmed him, and he doesnt have the same impact going forward, but hes being used more as a tackling machine, but its not working imo.
the other props are better at that , hence hes droped.

i say bulk him back up and use him as an impact player, albeit in short bursts. He used to take a lot out of oppo defenses, sadly now he doesnt.

All teams have dips in form but if you go out of the cup earlier I think maguire will ease back training and prep for a period to have you ready for the play offs. If your in the cup you can't really do it. Leeds going out of the cup before saints has been a blessing for us over the last few seasons.

I know what you're saying and probably a favour in terms of the GF but I don't think going out of the cup early is ever a good thing. There are only 3 pieces of silverware in the regular season, including the league leaders shield, and I think everyone connected to a club, be it fans, players, coaching staff or whoever, would want to see their team in with a shout of all of them.

do we know who has been dropped out the 19 yet or will it only be anounced at the game later ???

I'm sure there's a poster who always knows the team, so whoever you are, spill the beans

ok I predict the team will be as follows bench micky mac, Mossop, Prescott and O'Carrol. Heard Hansen not playing and neither is Phelps. Goulding back in.

that was on the 24th. They trained last night, me thinks things might have changed, but if I am wrong big apologies.

Nice one Cliffy.

Clifford's spot on again - just seen Phelps at the gym and he's not playing tonight.

Roberts at fullback, Goulding at right wing.

Bugger. I only put my 1st try scorer bet on half an hour before I found out...

For me, Hansen is a bigger loss than Phelps for tonight.

Another game that'll be decided in the forwards this, and HH's work rate has been superb this year.
