Hope one of them plays otherwise we will struggle with the kicking game but would like to see Beharrel given a chance if not and not play Carille at HB cos i believe he's doing a great job at hooker with Hodgson and that partnership could do us well for years. And hopefully Coxy or RB will get a chance cos they can't do any worse than Tuimi and Mika did last week but i'd expect if either does play it will be at the expense of Griffin as per usual.

Is it wrong of me to hope its called off? It's ruddy freezing out there!

Me too, if Dobson isn't or has no chance of playing then why name him... unless were playing mind games , which IMO haven't worked for us yet.

The squad selction is becoming more and more puzzling every week.

Oh well, could be worse we could make ourselves look stupid on SKY again

No defo Hun I think it shud be called of gives our guys a better break lets hope the club sprinkle water on the pitch and it freezes oops

Totally agree with this. A good kicking game's vital when the weathers' bad, not sure any of the stand ins can provide this. Has Beharrell been playing at Gateshead? Is he in their 19 this week? Expecting another twist here, maybe Berarrell or Withers being brought in. Just hope Dobbo doesn't play if he's not right, heavy pitch & freezing weather isn't the time to test a dodgy hamstring.

I still don't get the reasoning behind naming players in a squad when the Head Coach KNOWS they have no chance of playing.Not only has CS done it but Gentle has done the same with Holdsworth and McDonnell.

Morgan did it with Dobson in his last year as well. The difference is that Morgan was saying he was fine when it had been leaked by a big gob at the club that he was out and it had become common knowledge on the back of it.
It made Morgan look at fool IMHO. At least CS is being honest over it unless he (Dobson) is fine and its a bluff the other way which I doubt.

You can withdraw and replace an injured player from the 19. So if there is a chance Dobson or Burns might make it, then it is sensible. If we included a fully fit beharrell and then both md and tb were fit enough to play, then we've got to ask Beharrell to put on a limp or say his tummy hurts.

Can see this being frozen off. Very icy now & ground's like concrete. Is there much of a thaw due tomorrow?

With it being on Sky, you might get some extra support in getting the pitch ready.

Only sunny intervals 7am till 3 pm and 2 degree a high,FFS,looks dodgy to say the least !

Lets call it of I say gives us an extra few days to beat a top four side on Good Friday
