Bit unfair on Leeming imo

I'd be more inclined to drop Wood
Good to see Smurf back on the wing

Leeming is still young and has plenty of time- it's easy to forget he's still only 20! it's a tough job in the middle as he had to put on a tackle shift against the big guys. The thing with Woody is he gives us options in case of injuries to our halves. He also injects a bit of pace to run from DH. Murphy back in and symonds in the side I can see Wardle staying centre and Connor missing out.
I can see it being
Grix/brierley no idea which way Kelly will go.
Jerry
Leroy
Wardle
Murphy
Brough
Ellis
Eorl
Hinchy
Johnson
Symonds
Taai
Lawrence

Wood
Rapira
Mason
Roberts

Wardle at centre is a must

I'd love to know why Brierly isn't picked if he doesn't play, and why he isn't at halfback

good to get murphy back!

hinchcliffe hmm if on a going day.

The squad for tomorrow looks strong. We've managed to stop the rot last week against Salford (who are playing well at the mo) and it was away! We were awful the previous week against Waki and still only lost by 8 points a performance from which we can only improve. Walk sound to be missing a few players and may well be prioritising securing their the Top 8 position in the league. The bookies giving them a 10pt start now as well.

Am I deluded to somehow be feeling mildly confident we could actually win tomorrow?!?!

Our squad has looked strong for the last 2 months, but still not been performing as a team. Hopefully the Anderson sacking will provide the kick up the ass we require!!

we cant play much worse than last time we played them can we? if only we knew how to score then we would have won.

confident of a win! and a semi final to look forward too on what has been an awful season

I'm feeling a win is on the cards

Not confident about this at all, you guys will be too much if we turn up like we have recently. Our form has been poor since Magic Weekend and also we have a lot of injuries in our 'leadership group'. However, I hope it is a good game for the neutrals I will be there!

Not sure we'll get much sympathy on here regarding our injuries.

Not in a million years confident. Nothing about this season suggests we'll win.
It's the only thing positive left in our season. Every last bit of energy needs to go into this game.
Forget the Hull game the week after.. We have time yet to prepare for the middle 8's.

I think you should save Brough for your league campaign, no need to risk him in the cup match, it's just a distraction, honest

Hopefully we can start well tonight and get ourselves a confidence boosting early try to settle us down. Getting to the semi really would give us a big boost.

We need to put a performance on for young Costello and hopefully that spurs us on!

nope Chiss- not much








(deleted some!)

about as much as we get for ours

I fancy you guys to win by at least 10 points as Wakey look to have hit the wall now they're safe in SL for 2017

Can anyone who watched on tv explain what the VR decision was for the no try for Jerry near the end?

Yes. He couldn't see if the ball was grounded over the line by Ginger, But he reasoned out that due to the complete ineptitude on display, they couldn't possibly have scored, but decided to give us a penalty in the hope that we could bring the scores a bit closer with another chance.

Just watched it on TV as I had left the ground long before it happened.

Ironically he allowed the Grix one and disallowed Connors wrong way around for me but we could have played all week and still lost.

Grix was basking in the glory of scoring, it wasn't till Johnston had hold of him e remembered he had to put the ball down, I'm not convinced he did that.

Thanks....... But I'm still no wiser about the decision....

Think the correct decision should have been a penalty try, Gerry was fouled in the in goal area with no player to beat . Conners effort was a Try all day for me, It hit the try line before it rolled to the side line.

I just want to know what sky showed the reasoning was behind the decision given by the VR. What did the VR say?

I thought they got all the try, no try decisions correct...that final one should have been a penalty try though because it was a penalty for a shoulder charge...no shoulder charge and foul and it would have been a certain try so can't understand why it wasn't a penalty try? Symonds was it? Never grounded the follow up, Johnstone got his foot under it and there was no clear evidence of it grounded....

Officials were pretty decent overall to be fair and thought we were worthy winners...thought at the time there was a case for a red card for Brough...cheap and nasty shot which resulted in us losing a player for the rest of the game...hardly fair...
