To true, we definatly need to find something for the next few weeks! Having hicks and Morley back will make a bid difference for me though! I just hope King and Briers are firing on all cylinders!

We will win, by miles

Other than the 19-man squad announced on Friday, we now know that Rah won't be playing as he played reserves today. This will hopefully mean Morley will return to bolster our forwards as I expect if Morley wasn't fit then Rah would have played first team without having a week in the reserves to regain match fitness. If we're lucky Hicks will also return allowing for options in the backs with Mathers sitting out this week. Hopefully by next week everyone will be back (except Higham) and we should then lead into the semi with a decent strength team - assuming no more injuries!

Wonder how long Clarke is out for - does anyone know?

Hopefully he's out forever, he is useless IMO

I can't imagine too long, he picked up the injury against Saints but played last week against Hudds as we were short on numbers. Hopefully he will be back next week but if not then back for the semi.

i'm sure i was more mature than you when i was 14.

Mike10 (as in Mike Aged 10)

he has been one of our consistent players for the last say 6 weeks , its just like monaghan , because people dont like him they seem to pick up on the bad things he does n miss out the good things ive been impressed with clark since smith came hes made a big improvement

Agreed. We need him back seeing as Higham is still out. Monas can play hooker but probably not for the full game meaning that we have a make-shift hooker for periods.

Today's conditions similiar to those at Salford away..................

Weather seems to be improving though, at least its stopped raining now (but I won't hold my breath!)

Yeah, don't. You'll miss the match & be reliant on a neighbour raising the alarm.

Im nervous about this game. Not just because if we lose, we are looking at not getting into the playoffs but also the effect it will have on us going into the semi final.

Louis was running through alot of drills yesterday at ahb sharing it with Monas. Vinnie or Rah weren't there, interchange looked like Mitch, Woody, Coops plus ?. Moz, Hicks and Grix all starting with Riley FB

12-20 H/T.

Oh dear, the familiar boos are ringing out again..

Very poor indeed



No semi final win at this rate.

no win full stop anywhere at this rate never mind the semi final. This is Dire

Terrible, just terrible.

To add insult, we took a 12-0 lead.

Really struggling to stay calm. I'm starting to wonder in which areas we have improved since Smith took over.

It certainly isn't attack, and our defence has gone to pot again.

We've done very little in terms of developing the ability to play this sort of game, as soon as we went 12-0 up you knew we'd give up.

Having to watch sky live score update, can't get the commentary due to Work Nazi's blocking the proxy server. (whatever a proxy server is).

18-20, I don't like the look of this

Anyone listening to commentary?

Whats going on?

24-20 but still touching cloth

Briers scored.

Well, at least we have improved somewhat.

Looks like Smith has sent a rocket up the players ar ses!
