There is a trialist in the squad and he's not mentioned in the changes so I imagine it's Damel Diakhate playing again.

Should be a comfortable win for the reserves really, 30 points

Diakhate starting prop today.

Reserves team:

Litten

Barron

Shaw

Wakokoke

Martin

Medforth

Harman

Jebson

Hodgson

Trailist

Lovodua

Bursell

Staveley



Armstrong

Ferreira

Moy

Laidlaw



That team should destroy Rovers although the weather may be a leveller.

Strong team. Impressive to see that not only is our first team pretty much full strength but our reserves are also looking healthy too. Credit to the conditioning team this year.

Rovers have Corey Hall and Senior playing.



Wonder if Hall regrets moving to Rovers, could be playing first team at Wakey, but is playing reserve, can't get in despite injuries and Peters bringing in loan players instead of playing him.



Dagger playing well too, did Wakey get the better deal?

Hall will probably become the better deal long term but right now Wakey have the better end of the deal as Dagger has made a big difference.

Didn't realise they had Senior, Hall and Aydin playing today, should be a good game. I rated Senior when Rovers signed him but can't seem to get a look in, maybe because he's not on a short term loan from Catalans

Bit disappointed both Hall and Senior won't be playing tomorrow then

Our centres are fit.



Lad is only 20 (21 next month) and he had a decent run in the team not long after joining.



He’s one for the future. I’ve seen potential be overhyped or go unfulfilled too often to get excited but it is part of building a squad, and every signing is some sort of gamble.



Our season still has a pulse more or less, and after multiple failed iterations of patience-based approaches it is nice to see Rovers keeping pushing. Even if it doesn’t work, and I’m conditioned to imagine that it won’t, it’s nice to be trying.



Apart from ‘small, mobile pack’, there’s nothing that makes me shudder more than a ‘long-term plan’. Lazy thinking, passivity and/or poverty masquerading as prudence and high-mindedness. If Corey Hall or anybody has an issue with going flat out now, I would invite them to find out which team Jamie Peacock is managing now and eff off there, where I’m sure they do things the ‘right way’.



I may never get over that. 7 years it has been, and such random things can trigger me.



Just to say though. I think Peacock was a genuinely great player and he seems a good bloke. And I know it hurt him too. The poor deluded soul thought it might work!

SKD has played as much time on the wing, could have played Hall and SKD, rather than sign Yaha.

And if Rovers plan was what you think it should be, that’d have been the better choice.



I’m disagreeing with you on a strategic rather than tactical level.



In the nicest possible way, I think that you (and in fairness just about everybody associated with RL in this country) are fundamentally wrong about what underpins success in SL. We’re a small sport and the niche for dissident voices is too narrow for them to even exist never mind be heard, so yeah - whatever Terry, Barrie, Robbie, Jamie and Phil say. But to be free of that BS, however temporarily, accidentally or inconsequentially is a joy for me in itself - those moments are few and fleeting but precious.

Puts us second, I think although Wigan have a couple of games in hand below us.

INOUT

Good to see, and also good that our reserves updates are well covered by the club Twitter feed and the HDM.

Glad to see the young kid for Wakey is on the mend

Reserves lost 26-24. Great effort against an unbeaten Wigan side. Especially with so many missing on Yorkshire duty

Anyone know what the format is for the reserves and academy after the regular rounds - is it just top 2 play a GF?

Worth watching the highlights of the reserve game, Waka, Martin and Hutchison really stood out.

I think in every highlight reel I have seen this season Waka has being a stand out, looks a handful for defenders. Tough to judge with only seeing short clips but to me Martin looks more of a better prospect than Barron.



Find it strange that the reserves is the only format where there is no Play-offs, but I guess that's the RFL for you

Another win for the 18s at the weekend away to Castleford. Roman Dawson has had a great season

Just watched the highlights, Dawson looks an unbelievable runner, so quick and strong, only first year in the academy too. Played wing, centre and backrow.

Academy lads make the tough trip to Saints this Sunday for their Semi Final, good luck to 'em.

Won't be bringing any into the first team for this weekend then
