I take your point but should we beat Huddersfield on Sunday then we may be fortunate with the fifth round draw which will feature six Championship clubs. Get through that and by the time the QFs come round in May we should have the likes of Yeaman, Horne, O'Meley, and Aspinwall back.

I realise that's a massive 'should' in that first sentence, by the way.

Starting 13 is good enough to beat them at home, would use moa off the bench to add some experience. Gentle does seem use the bench well to spell the young players.

Going to be hard but not impossible.

Agree about the starting 13 and I feel if we are to come away with a win Seymour has to have a stormer and outplay Brough by bossing the game in the halves.

May i remind everyone that last year a lot of people were saying Sharp isn't good enough, get rid. Maybe (big) maybe that should Lynn play he might suprise us.

I have my doubts but lets give him a chance, PG wouldnt play him if he thinks he cannot handle it.

Moa for Radford, Green for Bowden!

I'm concerned about Lynch tbh. With the amount of work he's having to do at the moment in the absence of the other senior props I worry about him getting burned out for later in the season.

He's played 60 minutes or more throughout his career, hasn't he?

Too right. Championship teams have made the semis in the past. A team like us should never give up on the chance to get to Wembley.
The odds are against us, but we can definitely win on Sunday.

Rovers tonked huddersfield with a poorer team than the one we will put out. If the kids have stormers then we may well progress. Saints have brought kids in and they havent looked out of place. If we sneak through and get a decent draw then our injury luck must change soon and we could have a fresh almost fully fit squad by the quarters. If the kids have shockers then were dooooooomed

Yeah, but in the last 3 years at Bradford he hasn't had to go past the 1st week in September.

Agreed. I think it will be more competitive than some say.

spot on. You don't play them and then they never improve. Hope Lyne gets a game, as it is clear that Sharp and Turner have come on leaps and bounds. Why not him?

The fact that he's struggling to make an impact in the under20's suggests that he hasn't come on leaps and bounds.

Wakefield winning 12-6 at Headingley, Burrow and McShane off injured. Crikey.

Never????
