Should be announced anytime now. Move Abdull to loose man and have Ellis and Brough in the halves. If its right what I'm hearing then I will be posting the prop name on here when its confirmed.

Don't let the facts get in the way of a good rovers bashing from the dark side

there should be with a bit of luck 7 to 8 players to come back with maybe another addition or 2 ,Castleford hull and leeds apart ,super league this year is very average and shouldn't hold any fears for the championship clubs 4 home games helps and although not firing at the moment expect to at least be in the mpg

One of the problems is that some players haven't had any game time coming into the 8's. It seems like Sheens is over protecting the players, I've serious reservations that we'll be totally undercooked when the business part of the season starts.

Don't know about us been apart from any of the others except Cas who have been superb your right when you say every team have been a bit poor in parts every team seems to have the ability to beat any team in the comp I don't go into any game at the moment confident in victory is that a good thing for you or a bad thing ? I guess its all about confidence and momentum and having your best players fit but possible trips to Catalan and Widnes are tough if you get some momentum and a couple of good draws for the first rounds get some points on the board early I can see you doing a Leigh like lastt year and coming up but if your unlucky enough to get a couple of hard fixture's straight away and have nothing to show for the first 2 games it could be a tough ask a fresh and fit squad been all important

Bit of a rough patch at the mo. We have a lot of our 1st choice 17 out, Shaw and Charlie are having howlers and Sheens is experimenting with positions.

I would hope/expect it all calms down in the next couple of games so that July we get a more stable squad with our 1st choice 17ish. Once Carney can play and JBF gets a bit more fitness, neither Shaw nor Moss will get a look in. Moss may get a chance at FB, but if Quinlan returns he'll miss his chance. Then get Heffernan and Minns back in at centre and the whole team is transformed.

I'd rather have this rough patch now than in 6 weeks time. And don't forget, our alleged top class SL side lost to Oldham. This currently patched together team didn't. Plus the weather again. Pray for sun the rest of the season, especially the mid 8s.
