Hey Guys

I have to admit im a little worried about the Derby and our very tough run of games.

I know Rovers got done last night but according to some good Rovers friends there pack blew Hudds away and despite recent years having a massive pack they now have a more agile pack now like ours at the moment. I hope Pitts come in and does a job but its a bit early to expect too much and i would be a little upset if its at the expense of Bowden who with more games will just get better!

Moa will be a big boost if we can get him fit but not worth riskng with our tough run coming up

I was impressed however how we coped last night with the pack injurys and i could be just a little nervous like i always am before the derby.

What do you think would be a decent return from our upcoming games?

Im predicting

Rovers (H) Win
Hudd (A) Loss
Hudd (H) Loss
Wigan (H) Win
Leeds (H) Win (my heart says win but im not sure)

Rob

Is Whiting ok. He was really struggling last night before he went off

Gentle never mentioned anything about it in his post-match interview so I figure that he must be okay.

I hope so we need as many fit bodies as possible for next weekend

Gentle said it was too early to tell.

Rovers big forwards gave us trouble in the friendly but now the coaching team has seen them a few times hopefully we will have a game plan to try and dent that. I never like going into the derby as the favourite.

Turner came on for Yeaman at Saints and he played against Widnes and Cas and Bradford he had
4 good games I would still play him at against Rovers .Why change the backs unless players get hurt .The lad scored a great try against Saints and Cas and last night put Briscoe in for his try with a good pass plus his defense had improved .He is putting some big hits in.Let Yeaman get fitter and wait his turn to get back into the team
