OK, we've lost our last 8 SL games but, Friday night gives us an opportunity to take a step forward on the road to Wembley.

In any other season, a home draw, against Championship opposition, would be celebrated and we would all be looking forward to being in the hat for the next round.
Halifax are certainly beatable and even in our current slump, we should still be too strong for them.

I'll take SL survival and a good cup run.
After all, we were never going to win the league. icon_biggrin.gif

I think Wakefield will run away with this game V Halifax and people will be asking if A misfiring Wakefield can hammer a very good Championship side like Fax then in reality how big is the step up for Championship teams.

Remember the track record of almost all promoted Championship clubs during the first 14 years or so of SL.

OK, I'm with you.

Halifax have a record of P 9, W 5, L 4 so far in the Championship. They are going OK but hardly setting the world alight. Defeats have come at the hands of Leigh and Bradford (the top 2 in the Championship) and London and Featherstone. In reality they have not beaten any of the bigger sides in the Championship so we should have too much for them, even without our first 17 all available.

Not being complacent as we are not playing well at all at present but this game has to be viewed as a chance to put some of the performances of recent weeks right. If we field our strongest available side (that are injury free) then we should be able to compete and gain a much needed victory.
I don't see it being an easy game, but we should be strong enough to win it, which can hopefully build a little bit of that confidence back up.

Assuming these are all fit I would go with:

Jowitt
Johnstone
Hall
Arundel
Owen
Sammutt (let's give him a chance at stand off and see what happens)
T Smith

D Smith
McShane
Simon
Crowther
Ryan
Washbrook

Godinet
Kirke
Annakin
Molloy

Rock and a hard place for Webster (that he put himself in). Does he go with the same underperforming but "strongest" squad? Or does he go with a weaker squad that has more heart and passion? Either way, if we lose Friday night, that'll be the final straw.

Think it's not so much Miller the love child more Sammut the Devil incarnate where Webster is concerned.

I think you may be right there, however I do think that given how we have been performing we need to look at trying something different.

So no Johnstone or Crowther? Dissapointed with that.

Really not sure what Crowther has to do (or how badly the others have to play) to get another go, he hasn't let anybody down when given a chance. Thought it a perfect opportunity for Johnstone as well.

Don't normally get involved in team selection, but agree with you here with Crowther and Johnstone, it's an ideal opportunity to give them further game time and invaluable experience, but then if you think about it, it would make too much sense.
