Fox in defence with a new centre partner is concerning. Ryan Hall will be rubbing his hands together at that!

I think its best to concede Hall is going to win pretty much everything in the air so let him get on with it and when he lands bang him into touch.

No Danny /Lucas or Liam . That just tells me how good the 1873 scheme is , it’s a wonder RFA hasn’t found a place for Molloy

why all the hate for Reece Lyne?

Tauti not in the 19 man. Shame. Cowling is brilliant but I do feel sorry for him he gets shoved in against the big teams and big games and looks excellent. its beyond me why we didn't give him some run outs instead of Lynn.

Lee Smith plays better at centre and try as he might he's no stand off. We need to keep some structure if we can.

Hall is a quality player but he isn't nowhere near playing as good as he can for the past few months, he has only scored a couple of trys? His is a threat in the air however I don't think the halves; Sutcliffe and Burrow are not as good as Sinfield kicking from the hand (from what I have seen which isn't a lot).
If our forwards get on the front foot and we close down their halfbacks then we only have to worry about the back 5 who can make something from nothing.
I'm not too bothered if we don't get the win from the game on Friday however I will be slightly disappointed if we don't take the 2 points at our place.

I don't really understand the critics of Lyne because he doesn't really do much wrong, yes he kind off kills attacking play with ball in hand but it's something he can learn - get back to his early season form and it was the reason why Ben Cockayne was putting trys away for fun.

I think Tautai might be fit for next week for the home game which will be a huge boost for the team with a little bit more go forward and offload game.
Anyone know the details of Collis' injury and how long he'll be out for? I heard a torn hamstring but not sure its as bad as that. I guess he could do with an extra week off to just make sure anyway, if he does return against Leeds at home then it'll be another big boost for the lads.

Probably Goulding will be coming off the bench I most likely expect Wildie to be at stand-off (if not Lee Smith which I want him to stay in the centres.)

I dont think these lads were part of 1873 its more the u16's at the moment.

Why Goulding, he can't even get a game at Dewsbury after Donny showed him the door - his dad was good don't assume it's been passed on - the lad will be out of the game let alone the club unless he makes a huge improvement.

Do your research Wilzay old boy and don't pick the team please

Are you bi-polar?



Cowling has a lot of promise but brilliant - since when.

Think the 17 will be...

Mathers
Fox
L.Smith
Mariano
Cockayne
Washbrook
T.Smith
Poore
Aiton
Amor
Annakin
Lauitiiti
Kirmond

Subs. Wilkes, Raleigh, Wildie and Trout. Need an experienced SL player at 6 and Washbrook did ok the other week. Too short in centres to move L.Smith over and Wildie/Goulding not up to it.
