James is ruled out for Sunday, Goddard and Maloney given 48 hours to prove fitness.

Not really fussed to be honest.. I wouldn't have played him if he was fit. He has missed too much to just put him in, especially as would expect maloney and goddard to come back if they are fit.

Would play a 25% fit James ahead of Watene

I wouldn't play a 25% fit anybody - that's just crazy.

Wouldnt play James as been out too long but would look at giving Cherryboy Franks place on the bench as his work rate is much higher. Barrow will target Frank to create the gaps for their backs which happened up there when we got hammered.

Calland has done it twice this year - Miles Greenwood and Ben black!

apparently james has not been in contact with club over last few weeks, hes got his super league contract, wats the point in him risking himself further damage

Standard fayre from a coach before a big game, throw a few bones, lead people off the scent, keep em guessung, well see when we see. I just hope Wrenchy gets his shot at a final.

do you no anything about rl???? Watene will and should play he has been great all year i dint hear ppl moaning bout him in may when he was eating up meters and dominating in defense!!!!!!

He has being poor since though. Matt Calland says himself they cant afford passengers and im guessing someone who only plays twenty minutes can be classed as a passenger, especially when his only noticable contribution is giving away penalties.

20 minutes of giving away penalties, leaving massive gaps in defence and taking an age to play the ball doesn't impress me at all. Andy Ellis will have another field day. Form in May does not win games in October

Franks is actually one of the fastest to play the ball. Especially for such a big lad. So not sure where you're coming from there. Plus if you're talking about form, half this team aren't in form and should be dropped if that's what you're saying. As not many of them are playing at the level they were in May.

Big Frank played well last game, so he plays for me. I don't bash my team, i get behind them ALL the time.

Come on Fax!!!

You can't be watching the same games as me!
