just spoken to tim hartley and he isnt playing today and with no dual contract players what would be the stongest team. When are durbin and nash back?

Re the team I don't know but I asked Nash on Sunday and he said he was about four weeks away.

according to league weekly all four dual contracts playing tonight

Yet league express says they aren't according to a post on the dual registration thread. Who to believe eh

durbin is back in full training and was given the all clear last week............. He just waiting to be chosen on the team sheet now........ he can't wait from what he sed to me yesterday

Will the team be given out by the over the pa system tonight or do the fans have to wait till kick off to see what the team is? and will we hear the hooter tonight or are we still using the one that the refs guide dog can hear!

Yeah the dual contract lads should be available tonight. Therefore my team would be as follows,

1. Donlan
2. Maden
3. Nanyn
4. Blythe
5. Alstead
6. Ridyard
7. Paul
8. Hill
9. McConnell
10. Bibey
11. Mitchell
12. Taylor
13. McCarthy
SUBS
14. Emmitt
15. Armitstead
16. Goulden
17. Duffy/Durbin

if I'd have posted this someone would have been on accusing me of being a moaning git which I most certainly am not

I'd go with that one too

Wots up with Hartley? Is Durbin seeing an opening at playing now probably

it's patently obvious that Tim and Millward dont see eye to eye.

No its patently obvious that Ridyard is playing better and deserves his place.

I agree - Ridyard seems to be picking up where he finished last season. Nevertheless, it's a pity for Hartley, who certainly wasn't playing badly.

well said fred, you are only allowed to name 17 players you know, so just coz somebody is left out does not mean millward doesn't like them.

Ridyard is playing awesome no doubt he deserves the number 6 spot. Who knows when the wire lads get recalled & or the combination of injury's maybe Tim will play at centre.

With regard to Hartley, it was written that he would be given first go at Stand Off and he was however, he didn't play at Dewsbury and he's not played since because, Ridyard is the better option!

who played scrum half when Paul came off on Friday?

I was of the opinion Ridyard deserved to start the season given his form at the back end of last season but Millward wanted to give Hartley a chance. I wouldn't say it didn't work out but Ridyard played better when given the chance and Millward could obviously clearly see that.

Tim will have to pull his socks up and work hard it's as simple as that. I'm sure he'll get another opportunity and as someone else said he can always play centre, or even loose forward in my opinion.

Look at the scores since Riddy went half back, they speak for themselves.

Maybe whose getting picked also has something to do with their attitudes!! Likewise those who aint!

Moan, moan, moan!

I have posted previously that I prefer Hartley to Riddy.
Having now seen them both this season, Riddy is now #01 for me. My only worry is with his tackling.
Nice problem to have though. Riddy or Hartley

Nothing wrong with Ridyards tackling. This kept getting dragged up last season ! Tonight against a tough Batley team Ridyard stood up to them no problem !!!!!!

Saw Riddy stop one of their pack dead in his tracks tonight. Martyn can kick goals also and we may need him to do that having watch Mck Nannyn walk off in a lot of pain tonight
