there'll be plenty of wrestling and slow play the ball then

=#0040FFQuote fixed - Bonzo

So, no Ferres, Widders, Owen. We're looking like:

McGoldrick, Ainscough, Evans, Shenton, Wainwright, Chase, Sherwin

, Sargent, Hudson, Jackson, Jones, Snitch, Westerman.
Huby, Higgins, Netherton, + one from Dixon/Clayton/Massey/Holmes.

I would guess Massey and Holmes will play for the 20s, Dixon won't be rushed back so Clayton will take the last bench spot.

Last 3 games we have been killed by the opposition halves. God help us if Long is on form.

Suggestion seems to be that Long will be missing again.

He won't play Friday.

Stuart Jones 15. Liam Higgins 16. Paul Jackson 17. Ryan Clayton 18. Nathan Massey 22. John Davies 23. Ryan McGoldrick 27. Shaun Ainscough

Thank god for that! Hopefully we can play Catalan before Bosc gets back fully fit too!

Will Tom Briscoe be on the same side of the field as Stubby Shaun the Scoring Superstar? That would be an interesting match up!

Depends how much you try to slow us down, although it worked well for Warrington, Bradford and Hull KR.

If they both play on the same side of the field hat they have been on so far then yes. Briscoe has struggled under high kicks a little his year so I'm glad there will be someone smaller than him on the opposite wing for a change.

True but Evans isn't!
If Dixon is fit I would even be tempted to pair him with Evans and bomb the hell out of Briscoe. Having said that, if Briscoe catches it he will probably score a full lengther.

And therein lies your dilemma.

Sells decent chicken buckets though.

Ainscough would catch him easy peasy

Not if Brisc had BOTH boots on.

Go and watch wigan then

I'm really looking forward to this match to see two teams who like to play the game fast and entertain the fans.

Whats been wrong with Kirk Dixon though? That wainright guy is ok but Dixon is a try scoring machine! imo anyways!

Have a safe trip and see you Friday

hasnt kirk dixon had a bllod clot in his leg i think i read somewher?

Back in the 19 this week though I'd be massively surprised if he ousted either of last week's wingers.

I wouldn't. Although, Wainwright has done good he's nowhere near as dangerous in attack as Dixon and Ainscough and if we want to score points that comes first for me.

Dixon enables us to mix things up by getting the kicks in the air for him to catch whilst having Ainscough enables us to play the ball out wide and use speed too.

To late, 2009 wooden spoonist Crusaders have already knocked the cockiness out of them....theyr'e only going to win the double now, instead of the treble.

You could be right,good for them I say,now the players know they have to concentrate for each game.
Looking forward to this one,always like games against Cas.
