Brough charged with a grade B high tackle. 1-2 game ban.

We are woeful,injuries, bans or not, we are a very poor side at the moment, seems some of the players have given the season up, so understandably the fans have too, i guess you'll have the place to yourselves bar a couple of thousand loyal fans.

brough has submitted an early guilty plea and is banned for 1 match. gareth ellis no charge from the QF

A really big effort needed for this game after a tough QF game then we get 8 or 9 days rest .

They gave us a tough game at the kc for an hour or so and we need to be on form to win this one. they've shown this season they can be dangerous but without brough we should win if we play as we can

So he should , It's getting slightly concerning that we're still showing no improvement when we have possession & rely on our defence to bail us out .

tuimavave not doing it for me. We look a bit clueless with ball in hand with him in the team

Agree with Jake, Pryce has to be stand off, Carlos can spend the time training there on the off season.

for me pryce goes missing to much and is defo weaker in defence, so for now its tuime who stays at 6,

Agree.

Teams like wire and Wigan will find ways to score against us though. We need to be more of a threat going forward

We have played them both recently and they didn't,we created 3 great scores against Wire and they scored from a knock on 2 yds out and a charge down so your point is moot,isn't it about the balance of defence and attack and out scoring your opponents and we seem to be doing just fine at the moment.

The Black & Whites take on the Giants at the John Smith’s Stadium on Thursday (30th June), kick-off 8pm.
