Good, I hope the bookies are wrong again

Rob Butler named in reserves. Surely we haven't signed a clause saying he can't play even though he's not even a wolves player anymore. They needed to offload him so surely we should have stuck to our guns if they requested this. However I could be completely wrong.

The reserves gives indication as to Sundays team. With Jowitt at fullback that would mean Gaskell remains at full back so Minns/Batch will be right centre.

Butler may be just to build match fitness. He went ok against Hull but didn’t do many minutes. With Battye missing from reserves I’m guessing he’s coming in for Butler. That’s fine but Battye has been out of any firm for some time so I hope he comes in and has a stormer.

Willie said they haven't decided on who will play centre, including Gaskell as an option so I assume Max is still a possible.

Max is in the 17 for reserves game named at full back for tomorrow. Can’t see him playing Friday and backing up Sunday so most Likely Gaskell at full back.

Probably, but that's not what Willie said

Croft has one more game to play for Newcastle before we can recall him which is a big shame. Hope we stick with Batchelor as Minns just seems to be a liability when called up.
Battye looked hopeless in last weeks reserves fixture agains the young guns of Hull FC. Wet paper bag and all that.

I'll be satisfied if he manages a full game without getting penalised for an incorrect play of the ball.

I hope battye never gets the chance of returning to the first team, comments on here lately just proves my opinion of him from day one

That is so frustrating.

No it doesn’t.

FWIW I think Battye has now gone over his usefulness as a SL player. He like a lot of players only had a few seasons in him and ourselves and especially London got those years.

That said he has a few games left in him yer, if, he just concentrated on playing basic RL. As a 15 minute each half player he would be ideal if he did that.

As for the unforced errors I assumed we trained that into our players and Battye is just one of the quicker learners

I'd be just happy if we let him go, but not sure how long he's got left on this contract, and we can't just release players on a whim
