So, 2nd to last home game of the season.



Now, I expect us to win, however Swinton are only 1 point off of the top 4 so may likely be up for the game to push for a chance at the extra games/revenue.



However, as we 102-24 in terms of aggregate score for the season, then we might likely be on for another Oldham style performance

Since we've already finished top, we're at home and Swinton are one of the worst teams in the "competition" (term used loosely), I personally would use this game to give 2 or 3 of the young lads a half-decent amount of game time. Get Liam Kirk in there to replace the limped off Lauaki, Josh Rickett instead of Danny Williams who's leaving anyway, and maybe one of the other two lads who haven't had a game yet too.



Otherwise there's even less interest in this game than the previous ones in this tin pot trophy.

Swinton are supposedly resting players for this game as they haven't targetted a win in it.

Seems silly to me, but that's what I've heard from one of their current players.

Well it's a ready made excuse if they get stuffed, but I'd guess they consider games against Whitehaven, Worky and Oldham to be their real priority as the drop is surely their biggest worry.

Hopefully a chance for Kirk and Rickett to get a debut.

I got that impression from Rohan on the post match interview that 4 or 5 youngsters would be in the mix somewhere this coming week



Hopefully he does that

Not that big a worry. They only need one more win to guarantee safety. Or even not win at all, as long as both Whitehaven & Workington don't win every one of their remaining games. It's pretty much a foregone conclusion already.

Definitely would like to see Kirk get a run

Who was the big lad that warmed up as 18th man at Dewsbury? Was that Kirk? Seemed a bit big to be a winger (Rickett).

Liam Kirk by the sound of it. He's a very big unit.

Every Minute Matters.

In which case their reasons for changing the team are probably in line with ours - to give some youngsters a run-out and see where they stand for next year. It seems to be a 'no worries' game for both clubs so the intensity will be interesting, though there seems to much mentioning of going through the shield unbeaten from the Bulls, so maybe they won't take their foot of f the gas..
