The same applies to the Doncaster positions too, Alan.

Here's the link to the Dons' website where the details are shownhttp://www.doncasterrugbyleague.co.uk/match_day/match_preview/10979rl

Its says Ref J. Bloem.

Nothing to come there then.
He doesn't give us anything, in case it looks like favoritism.

The only Hull player being Howarth (Loan), no one on Dual Reg.

No DR or Waterman or Cooke himself.
Don't see the reasoning behind putting out a so called weaker team against the best side in the league.

Anyone heard any news of D Nicklas

With regard to Paul Cooke, he has been known to rest himself for such fixtures. He didn't play against Leigh in our victory at the Keepmoat last season or the Challenge Cup tie at Warrington.

Looks like they are writing it off ... and taking the hit!!

I can understand putting out a weak team against leigh as highly unlikely we would win with our best team, especially now no bonus point, however a 50-60 point defeat won't improve our fan base and will in fact put people off so could backfire, also our points difference could be another factor we regret at the end of the season, so as a fan I prefer to put out the best team possible each week, will still attend the game because I have experienced many a heavy defeat in years gone by, I had hoped those days were behind us, at least the following game be a better spectacle as a contest.

Sorry if this has been asked before but will there be cash turnstiles on tomorrow or do we need to buy a ticket before we enter the ground?

If that is indeed Leigh's 17, they are missing the following players, who would normally be first choice:-

McNally - full back
Higson - wing
Moimoi and Emmitt - props
Goulden and Sarsfield - 2nd row

We are missing both half backs and therefore lack any creativity, if Leigh were without brierley and Ridyard you could stick Kay and penky and still be strong , I am just hoping we don't give up and play for 80 minutes, if we can hold them to 24-30 points I would be satisfied, just hope it's not 60 point drubbing. The start of the season as proved dual reg only helps the parent club who use it to suit them and dictate who plays and when which can upset team spirit.

Leigh fan here!!

It looks to me that we have gone for a light bench and quick backline, it wouldn't surprise me to see Rowley instructing the lads to throw the ball about and use your excellent pitch ala the LSV.

Be nice to play on quick track as opposed to that mud bath a Fax recently.
