I think Swifty looked a little clunky and hesitant at times, and also debuting in a high pressure Derby after being out so long would test the mettle of most, he will improve hopefully, thanks to our owner we are very fortunate to have good options almost everywhere, as a club we seem to be in a healthy position, expectation is high, we were magnificent at Headingley, and did enough against our neighbours.

Saints are the acid test, a really quality side, they will test us everywhere, the injuries in both camps cancel each other out, and should we manage to take the spoils, imagine the increased expectations at the club. This forum has some marvellous eloquent posters, some I’ve crossed swords with, no problem, disagreeing is part of it, but there is a small element of continuous mischievousness, where the participants are more interested in twisting words, rather than partake in the rugby league conversation.

I thought we were at home this weekend (like city on Friday night).

It was just an option that may or may not be possible to Swift that was all. I was a little disappointed with Swift for the reasons stated but it was his first game and I would have him back in against St’s with Faraimo still injured as shown in my posts.

Swift out, fonua on the wing and another forward on the bench for me. Pointless having a centre on the bench

Dont agree about having Fonua on the bench as long as he does more than 10 minutes.Cant see that 10 minutes game time helps with match fitness
Its an easy interchange when we can move Griffin into the second row.
Personally would like to see an extra forward on the bench rather than carry two hookers but the way to handle Walmsley is to tackle him low around the legs and i think Johnstone can do this.
Its going to be wet.Just wish Albo was available.
Still not convinced by Connor at 6.

Gets my vote

Weather forecast is atrocious, I wonder if the game may be is doubt (city play on Friday night)

Just wondering; I would think the reserve game stands more chance of being cancelled on Saturday, but ... but ...but, if the 1st team game was cancelled and the reserve went ahead would Kelly and Satae be able to claim one of their match bans used? (if that makes any sense :>icon_wink.gif

Disaster for us if cancelled as our injured lads need minutes before WCC.

Fingers crossed!

forecasts I have seen aren't that bad?

Don’t think Sanderson is getting another deal,hence him putting out his “highlights “ reel.Ellis will be back on the bench which will help

jones and savelio play long minutes so it's pointless carrying an outside back on the bench who will barely get any game time unless we get an injury

Ellis expected to be back. Lane out.
