Start of our Odsal expedition..not expecting too much,lost out to several players to them recently due to our woeful budget.On a tight pitch we need our best,strongest 17 and may just have a squeak if they're suffering any Toulouse hangover.Not expecting much change from Eastmond but we live in hope he may get the selection right this week....

Just out of interest which players have we missed out on i would be interested to know.


As for the game i too would not expect Kyle to change much team wise. We could have to make a couple of changes if Woodburn-hall and Johnson who both came off at Fev are injured other than that Brad Graham should come back in for me either at centre or at least on the bench. Score wise they are clearly favourites for me that said if we get it right on the day we are capable of winning, it looks like the terracing is not being opened but at least we can get some shade in the seated stand.

Don't think JWH will be fit so you'd hope Jouffret would at last get a chance at half back. Not sure what Johnsons injury was but really hope he's fit as he's looked good so far. I would prefer Johnson on the wing and Graham at centre with Crookes - would also like to see Dixon back at prop although think that's unlikely to happen. Not sure if Musgroves 8 week suspension starts this week  - let's hope it does 

The centre and forward from Warrington that made their debuts against us.The centre bullied us and scored 2 tries,the forward has since got a retrospective 8 match ban,so maybe dodged one there.Spoke to Riley Dean after last game as he's been a lifetime friend of family and he wants to play for the team he supports but our offer when he came back from the cutters was embarrassing he said..

What have Dixon and Brad Graham done wrong...have I missed something or is it purely coach preference..?

The centre Ben Davies i thought should of come to us at least on dr if not been signed permanent when Crooks got injured at Easter and Eastmond dropped Charlie Graham after the Donny game but i can only guess Kyle didn't want him and he has now joined Oldham as you say.


Musgrove like you say i think that is best left alone but i get the idea a big prop with good go forward would be great for us.


Then we have Riley Dean did we have Keyes and Joufrett when he came back from Aus? and to be honest i do not have my ear to the ground in terms of what is going on at the club, have we still not got a pot to pee in or is it a case of doing things on the cheap you would have to ask someone in the know to find out. As far as i know Dixon is injured and Brad Graham as been dropped which i do not agree with.

Radio for us as having a break away but won’t miss going to the hole.


No idea on the result or selection, we need to start getting back on the winning track asap, possible this week but unlikely.
