Let's hope no more injuries and all knocks and bruises clear up.

If Clarke is fit he comes in and then either Dwyer drops to bench and we go with 2 props on the bench with Ratch or Philbin comes in as bench replacement with Dwyer dropping out.

Actually wondering about Penny - Ormsby is pushing hard. A possibility, not probability.

Wouldn't change anything else.

Wondering about Penny??? I'm not sure what Lineham brings to be honest

I was surprised cas lost at home. Friday's game without sounding arrogant is a game we should and could win if the effort and attitude is there. Like wire yed as pointed out are fitness is a major plus at the moment. I think TS will be looking for a better attacking performance this week. It would be nice to see us lead in a game and play some attractive rugby league and put a marker down to everyone else we can win from behind and in front . The defence as been strong so far we just need to improve are attacking in the wing imo. 6 put of 6 would be some start especially as either the two w's will drop points on Thursday.

Linehams finishing of them two tries against hkr were quality but he hasn't set the world on fire yet, but it is still early days, he needs to get used to new players and get used to Atkins parcing or lack of it at times. Line ham will come good in the end

No Dwyer ? You wot mate ?

Will Kevin Penny ever get a good rap on here ?

Made a good break & saved a certain try yesterday. I would like to see some Ormesby flair on the other wing too.

If Penny had a decent centre to feed off then he would be a totally different player

Ormsby and flair should not be in the same sentence, wingers feeding on scraps at the minute

Would like the ball past quicker in the line, in fact just a few passes would be nice

We are getting the results would just like to see a dominant free scoring performance now

It depends how TS wants to play it.
If he thinks we need 3 props on the bench and Clark is fit then l can see Dwyer dropping out.
I'd go with Ratch and Dwyer on the bench.

Regarding Ormsby, I've heard some good stuff about him in the reserves - and I'm not a Penny-basher - but I could see that as a possibility.
(Penny knock on from that run iirc, and it was Penny and someone else who put brought on out). Lineham is still trying to fit in so he'll be given more time.

If I were a betting man I think TS will keep the same 17 (minus Dodds) plus Clark if no other injuries / strains.

If it ain't broke......

Five games, five wins, including three away wins. Why on earth would TS want to change anything at all, apart from enforced changes?

Penny hasn't really put a foot wrong.

Cmon guys, a coach in any sport is not going to make significant changes to a winning side. Confidence and team spirit is the key here.

The big question is how he will use Ratchford (assuming Clark returns).

Can't see any reason to drop Penny, his defence has improved beyond belief since his first stint. As someone else said the wingers are feeding off scraps, the final pass is just not good enough at the moment...hopefully the timing will improve. Still 10 points from 10 and character by the bag full, that glass looks half full to me!

I don't understand this bashing of the wingers. They are getting little room because defenders are terrified of their pace. Watch Evans' second on Saturday. Richards only has eyes for Lineham, regardless of what the right decision is, and Evans scores a walk in. The week before Atkins gets a try by being one-on-one on the try line as the defence is being forced to stay wide.

Take the pace out of the team you can afford to stay a little tighter in defence and shift out if the ball goes wide, but the way it's going at the moment, the width creates the gaps for Hughes/Currie/Atkins/Evans etc score as they have in the last 2 weeks.

You don't change a winning team unless injury forces the change, certainly not for this game. Daryl Clark to come in for the injured Mitch Dodds only for me. King and Cox proved on Saturday that they can come off the bench and do a good job which will cover the prop forward issue. Either Clark starts or comes on from the bench interchanging with Dwyer. The other bench spot goes to Steph Ratchford. Changes will come soon enough when we get into the busy Easter period. I am sure TS will make a few changes for the Easter Monday game in Ull to try and keep the side fresh for what comes after.

i'd probably go with ratch/dwyer two props at the moment on the bench, as ratch does seem to be tackling alright in the forwards at the moment, unless someone can pop up with a vid showing him missing a load of tackles that wasn't obvious at the weekend.

I don't like it but, Chilly is getting a lot of game time meaning we could go with two props plus Dwyer and Ratchford on the bench. I wouldn't want TS to mess with a winning side (especially against one of the better sides in SL), so Clarke (if fit of course) into the 17 for Dodds.

if we're making changes, ratch drops out for an extra forward

We are absolutely mullered for injuries . Wire by 30.

This...
TS will want to keep a settled side as much as poss.. However the Easter weekend is almost upon us and I think he may make a few changes then.

I don't care about injuries, Daryl Powell always gives the impression that he could get Castleford Panthers Under 13's organised enough to give a SL team a run for their money*.

[size=50* Just to point out that I don't REALLY think that an Under 13's team could compete against a SL tem (except maybe for Wakefield) no matter who coaches them![/size

I don't have much hope. We are ravaged by injuries to key players in key positions. Likely to be without Dorn, Roberts, Millington, Holmes, Moors and of course Shenton. Monaghan also seems to be playing injured, as does McMeekan.
If you can stop the combination of Dorn and Solomona on our left edge you will win by 30. If you can't stop Gale and Solomona, Denny will probably end up with a couple of tries and you'll win by 20.

Yeah you're certainly suffering with injuries. We've been lucky with only Dodds, Wheeler, Bailey, Laithwaite, Harrison, Clark, Westwood and Toby King injured at the moment.

And Ben Evans,

why does everyone forget about Ben Evans when they refer to our injured players.....
