Looks like I was right, he may have been becoming a liability with a possible long ban ahead of him.

He also said he’s likely to go out on loan elsewhere in champ so not that big of a ban incoming. I suspect given amount of loan and dr lads we have options on and with walker coming back Lilley and GF snr will share hooking role and we don’t need to have a hooker using a spot on loan. I also think Lilley looks dangerous from hooker and it’ll be good to see Holmes involved at half back with young Jack nearly fit

Absolutely spot on

Just been reading that Roby has gone to Swinton on loan for the rest of the season.

All named in the 21 man squad but I think Rohan will go with the same 17 as Sunday so a good chance!

I like Roby. Good energy and a bit of
mongrel, but maybe Dunning feels there's a discipline issue there. Sin-bin against Fev (can't remember if he got banned) 1 match ban against Keighley for a trip and is up at the tribunal for a serious offence that could see him suspended for several games.

I would expect to see at least one of the Leeds players return for the Batley game. Ideally Walters or Donaldson as they both played well and made a significant impact during the Halifax game.

With Roby gone I’d 100% love to see Jowitt, Holmes, Patton and Lilley as the spine. Unless Walker is 100% then of course he starts.

Dunning didn’t sound too hopeful about getting any Leeds players this week. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Myers play in the centres as Arundal is out. DFJ and Blackmore fit apparently.

Anyone know if Chester and Rob Butler will be available this week.

Chester Butler is touch and go. Rob Butler will play.

18th Man Lawford

Thomas Minns coming out of retirement aged 28
Bulls announcement at 10am in the morning

Just a coincidence?

Just a coincidence looks to be an announcement about bullman

I’d take him for centre coverage with Myers still developing.

Called it

Todays game has potential banana skin written all over it. Batley ran Fev very close last weekend and will be fresher than we are with the extra days rest. Hopefully home advantage should see us through. It would be brilliant to back up Monday's win with another good showing at home against the Bulldogs.

If we get a win today there will be a fantastic following at Fax next Saturday.

Monday was great but id imagine there will be even more with it being a Saturday.

3 home wins for Bradford, Widnes and Halifax would start to see the top 6 taking shape, after 1/3 of the season gone I think.

Jack Walker named the 18th man today. Expect him to be back next week for Halifax in the Cup.

2 steps forward, 3 steps back. Credit to the Bulldogs, they took their opportunities and made us pay. A proper gut punch and back to the drawing board after a good performance against Halifax.

Just the result & performance I would have expected after a decent game against Fax.

We consistently underperform and disappoint.

Still think we need new coaching staff..

For No other reason than running with Patton & Lilley at 6 and 7.
The most poison half back partnership since Shaun Edwards & Graham Bradley.
