Apparently Langi and Gaskell out this weekend
Mind you forwards out: Partington, Hellewell, Stone, Greenwood, Gerrard, Dixon, Lannon, Addy…back this weekend?
Think REdge defence still needs tweaking and King V doesn’t seem to be firing yet and two tries partly via his missed tackles last week. As Sneyd rightly said still need to smarten up…those daft offloads last week to be cut out
Good when you score 60 and can still get better😉

Just thinking how good Atkin is as a utility player
Loose Forward, Hooker, Scrum Half, and played Winger and FB at times last year.
Coming on late in the game also he’s a 5th man in the spine, giving the team that bit extra speed and bounce

This is a must win game, the week after we have Wigan Away.

Definitely, a must-win. The next three games are tough. Wigan away, Hudds at home, and Leigh away again.... twice in the first nine weeks, who comes up with these fixtures?
I would have thought Greenwood would be back, given he was out for 12 days in concussion protocol. If any of those forwards are fully fit I image they'll replace Borough.

Rowley did say same squad this week…Addy was in last weeks squad, maybe in this week. Think, depending on the injury situation, we could win 3 of the next 4…but injuries are often the deciding factor…along with Jittery Jack 6 again Smith😉

We're due a league win at Wigan, for sure  In all seriousness, if we perform well this weekend, with no complacency, then I think we can get a result at Wigan. They're really nothing special in the forwards and their centres can be had. We just can't be too aggressive in defence on the edges given the speed they have. |

Just 18 fit this weekend but Addy fit Burgess 2/3 weeks, Partington 10 Very concerning. Our season will all depend on injuries as we have 0 depth others then sr |

And no more players coming in according to Rowley, even tho Sarge gone…seems we are v short of money
But it’s good living on the edge. At least Rowley and Blease improving squad each year; so we have proven cover

Hellewell. Has he actually played this season including friendly games?

Along with Dixon Addy Greenwood Lannon besides the odd few minutes, no
But it’s a long season and I think it’s all @bout keeping our spine injury free
Its strange, each season we see a few sudd3nly shine…Atkin Wright and Dupree…amazing now they’re given their chance…last year Ormondroyd, Cross, King V, Ackers…Brierleys defence is improving as well. Blease seems to have the knack of finding and Rowley and Haggerty the skill of improving

Anyone any idea how many tickets we have sold for the game on Sunday? Assume Wakey might bring 300 - 400 tops.

Dupree has been the outstanding player so far for us, brilliant, he'll be in and around England very soon, never mind the knights
