When I was at the Riley Boulevard site no rugby was played at the school. Our weekly sports day was held at Inglemire Lane sports ground a few miles away which had no rugby posts, so we only played soccer.

We had a good connection with RL though when Brian Darlington came to Riley as Gym Master in the last couple of years I was there. Brian was an even time sprinter and signed for Hull in the mid 50's as a winger where he played for a few seasons including league championship winning sides.

I played soccer for Riley and after leaving for Hull Technicla College initially played RL for Fenners in the Works league before switching to RU for the the remainder of the 3 years I was at Hull Tech.

Certainly is brilliant odds if we beat Huddersfield draw cas or rovers in semis suddenly we'd be nearly favourites for it

11/1 on bet365 and sky bet at the quarter final stage for us is a mental price really

What are we thinking then?

Connor
Swift
Griffin
Tuimavave
McIntosh
Reynolds
Gale
Satae
Houghton
Sao
Ma'u
Savelio
Lovodua

Evans
Fash
Lane
Vulikijapani/Wynne/Bowden?

You have missed Brown out Mrs B cant drop him on current performance
Wouldnt surprise me to see Lovodua continue at 6 but we need 3 forwards on the bench as Hudds forwards are strong and Jones is also back since we beat them here.
So a bench of Evans,Brown,Fash and Mitch but who knows as Johnstone obviously has his fans in the coaching set up

Some nice selection problems for a change.

Given the tough schedule coming up leaving Brown out wouldn't be 'dropping' him as such. He'll play over Easter without a doubt.

I'd go for Mrs B's team with Johnstone on the bench.

Hope we don’t plan to flog Houghton for another full 80. Like to see Lovodua start at 13 then bring Lane on and move Lovodua to 9 to give Houghton a break. Then Evans, Fash Brown to complete the bench can’t see any value in having a back on the bench as a just incase as we invariably don’t use them. As you say Huddersfield are a big team and need to be able to match up in that area.
