Moving onto hopefully a less contentious subject, at least until 4.45pm on Sunday. After the Batley game it will be interesting to see what changes are made - hasn't got limitless options, but will presumably have to shake things up. Wasn't at Batley so can't comment on individual performances but with that scoreline can't just have been one or two having a off day. Looking at those missing last Sunday you'd think Fleming, Pickersgill and Inman would have to come into contention, and Maizen if he's now recallable from Hunslet. It would also be great to hear how Keyes is progressing - seems ridiculous that his absence is being used as a major reason for our slump in form, but fans are given no updates that I've seen about when he might be back.

A game we should be comfortable winners in...good time to test the Pickersgill full back JWH halfback option,surely.Hopefully Lannon back,Fleming was in 17 but only remember him touching the ball once and knocking on.Inman needs to rotate with AOB as bringing Moore back against most people’s wishes clearly didn’t work...

Fax by 20.

A week of no board updates no coach updates,

Got a season ticket would refund the remaining games if i could will not be attending until a change is made

I will buy it off you for a tenner.

As for the game we should be big winners in this one but maybe that's just me being delusional. To be honest i am struggling to get enthusiastic about this game with how our league form as been this year and it might sound strange but the next 2 games after this one have a bigger significance for me. The game in London next saturday in the 1895 cup semi then playing Sheffield away on a friday night will for me make or break our season.

We desperately need to get back on track and build some confidence and momentum for the season defining games coming up..

Fax by 12 for me .

Squad for Sunday now out, and the only change is Maizen coming in for Tibbs.

As for the team itself, I'd have Lannon, Inman, Maizen, Pickersgill and Murray replace Tibbs, Salty, Wood, Moore and Fleming ....... trying Woodburn Hall in the halves.

Prediction: Fax 44 Newcastle 12.

More or less what I said/thought.You're one back short so Salty stays for me and i'd try Kav in centres.He needs space to get going and he'd suit centre and sure up that defensive area.Never a fan of Fleming but he certainly looks the part and needs a proper run to see if there was any justification in him being here.

No I'm not ..... I'm bringing McComb off the bench to start in place of Tibbs, and Maizen replaces Salty who seems to have got even slower recently, maybe he's struggling with an injury.

Ok-it's a fair call.

Fax by 10 but ship in some trys, how moore gets a gig I dont know after last week. Salty tried his best but just hope there has been some team bonding because blow this one and its bye bye season .

I think for the London game I’d sack Grix n get Greg florimos boots doing the coaching . I’d play beaujangles at 7 and move hooligan to fullback in woodys absence. Tony fax on the wing cos salty has completely lost his pace , ometoe in at hooker has like he says I don’t know how Moore gets a gig . Maher looks like he’s been signed by king cross under nines so can’t see him playing. I think crooks is a waste of space so I’d get hudd shay in at centre on duel reg . This on toilet paper looks like a winning team . UTP

A win! A bit of a blessing in disguise with Woodburn Hall getting injured in the warm up. Hope it’s not too serious but Inman played out of his skin at scrum half and fully deserved Man of the Match. Our go forward went up several gears when Lannon came on. We need all our forwards to follow his lead. Two very soft try’s conceded. Let’s hope we can start to build a bit of confidence from this win and even though it was 50-12 we were playing the bottom club of our league.

Not a bad team this , they might win a few .

Hudd-Shay at this moment is in the Victorian Craft Beer Café on't Red Willow Double Shamless 8.8% Mmm! He was a centre in his day but alas no more. Lol. Up The Fax!

8.8 % that’s impressive, when I lived in wakey used to drink kwak which was 8% I believe , used to be served in halves but scaldis was the one that was the heavyweight, 12% my brother visited once and knocked himself out falling into my cast iron bath after a session. Fernandos brewery tap wakey ( Ossett brewery) legendary.

4 minutes away from a perfect prediction! Am I right? I wasn't far wrong!

Not without me!

Just what the team needed to build a bit of confidence, very cautious start with priority obviously being cutting back on the mistakes, with ultimately a very convincing win against admittedly very limited opposition. Would be very surprised if JWH fit for next week - in his place Pickersgill had a very steady game without understandably having the impact in attack that JWH has. Lannon again looks really effective when he comes on, Brandon Moore looked more effective than in recent weeks coming on against a tiring defence. Crooks also had most effective game I've seen him have but difficult to really judge when Newcastle so poor. And finally Walmsley again scored 2 tries that he looked to have no right to - he may not be the most complete winger I've seen in a lot of years watching Fax- but he is probably the best finisher I've seen here.

Got the job done by scoring most of the points in a couple of purple patches were we made it look easy and them look very poor as we should be able to do. Around those spells i thought it was a poor quality match from both sides making some very basic unforced errors. And i do not get all the fuss around Crooks on our facebook page yes he contributed to a score yesterday with a nice flick out pass to Walmsley but his defence since joining us as been poor and isn't that the reason Tibbs and Maizen have been dropped i would much rather have Jake in the side from a attacking point of view because neither of them are the best at defending. These next 3 games for me are crucial to our season overall obviously the cup game speaks for itself with what's at stake and then Sheffield away and Featherstone at home in the league will give a lot better indication as to were we stand in the pecking order.

A very fair assessment that. I would add that Tom Inman was a well deserved MotM closely followed by Matty Gee and a much improved Will Calcott. Rat & Ratchet shuddersfield, White Rat 4.0% Mmm!

Great result for the team. Some really great tries in there too.

Just a shame the atmosphere was terrible. The self titled “South Stand Barmy Army” were non existent. I get people are p*ssed at Grix but at least create a bit of an atmosphere for the players! 50 point winning margin and all we got was silence. What’s happened to that lad with the drum?

That is something that i forget to mention was the atmosphere and attendance. I think we are pretty split at the moment as a club as to what is wrong and the best way to deal with it. And it was clear yesterday with the poor atmosphere and equally poor attendance that some people me included but i will still attend all games this season are not happy and do not appreciate any questions being made about Simons position as coach being shut down with personal insults and questioning our knowledge of rugby league. We all care about this club and want what is best for it so for me whatever your opinion is you are as much as me entitled to it. And before anyone says something about the abuse aimed at Simon i do not condone that at all and will call it out when i hear it.
