I would like to see Hall somewhere in the 17. I know he has not impressed (then again who has?) But he has pace and good feet. Nothing to lose.

Is he still on the scene, I haven't heard anything of him for a while now.

I know he went on loan to Dewsbury but not sure if he played.

Patton charged with Grade E gouging. Looks like this will be his last game of the year.

Looking at a 4-8 game ban. Lawford, Jowitt or Camden should be given a chance for the remainder of the season.

Agreed surely Lawford gets his chance this week.hope Dunning doesn't bottle it. I'dbe tempted to go to one or two games to see Lawford, Flanagan Jr and Camden getting a couple of games. I have absolute no interest in seeing us playing with a winger and loose forwars at 6 & 7.

We've got absolutely nothing to play for now so just give as many academy players some first team run out's and see what they're capable of. Surely they want to get in some good games to hopefully get promoted to first team next season?

Blooding some of the rising academy players could also create the smallest flicker of excitement for the fans after a dreadful campaign. I’d definitely be more interested in seeing some of the young lads given an opportunity to show off their skills over the same old rubbish we’ve been served up this year.

Elliot Hall is playing for Midland Hurricanes
I think we may have seen the last of him a Bulls shirt
Dewsbury played him once and dropped him.

Looks as if Hall was signed more in hope than expectation of filing Pickersgill's boots.

We should definitely pick the academy lads if we're down both halfbacks and lacking a fullback. Nothing to lose.

Another masterstroke signing by Kear then

Indeed. Looking back he did make some poor signings. The lack of a decent replacement fullback has hurt us this year. It's one of the most important positions on the field.

Ooh dont say that. I was shot down by many on here at the start of the year for saying Hall was a poor signing and was in no way fit to replace Pickersgill. But what did i know????

Some signings you take on trust. I'd not seen Hall so couldn't comment. When he wasn't being picked from the start and we seemed to chop and change the fullback it was increasingly clear we hadn't got a proper replacement.

I thought Hall didn’t get much of a chance to be honest. But then again, I don't see him everyday in training.

Flanagan Jr has to start at fullback for the rest of the season. Lawford has to at least start on Sunday with Patton to get a game in before he’s halfback for the year.

Camden should be on the bench for me, and brought on later. Maybe start next week alongside Lawford when Patton is out.

Lawford in the squad as is Muizz but no Flanagsn Jr.

You were also John Kear's chief defender iirc.

No Flanagan Jr means there’s no fullback. So the attack will die once it goes Lawford to Patton to Kear.

I’d love to see the young lads. But with no FB you’re attack goes to unless you want to barge over. Based on this I’m not going. I’ll go to Widnes with it being the last game but I’m not spunking £44 to watch a rag tag team.

We need a coach. A proper coach.

If I’m wrong and we win. Feel free to tell me, but I’d rather lose and have Flanagan Jr and Lawford both playing to gain a slight understanding as Patton will be out for the season.

Against my better judgement, I have purchased tickets for tomorrow. Won't lie, mainly because my lad is a massive fan of Sonic. If it's Nigel waddling around inside the costume though, he isn't going to be impressed. On my part, I'm hoping to see the young halfback get a game.

So if Patten gets a ban and Lilley misses a few games through injury, we might end up playing both academy halves. I agree with the majority, I think Dunning’s strength will be his willingness to use the academy properly, he needs to start playing to his strengths.

still no working vpn

... another game i cant hear .... been thrashing around where to find a radio station that gets through the stupid chinese firewall but still cant find. missed so many games this season and some might say 'not a bad thing' lol but i still need my rugger

Lawford starting

15 minutes gone 6 - 0 to Worky. Unbelievable ! We're giving pens away again, and can't score a try with a number of restarts.

We won. Only played between 45-80minutes and put 48 points on them.

First half - absolutely shocking. Kept giving the ball away, no running, no line speed. But defence was ok I suppose.
Must have got a rocket at half time, different team, Flanagan took control, directed the forwards, who actually ran with some purpose . Difference between night and day.
