I think a welcome return for Dorn, Caro and Bolger to miss out.

Well bang goes a good game in front of Sky with Child in charge. hes the penalty king of SL. also a long with Hicks if they know a video ref at a game always go upstairs for a review even if standing next to the player if he grounds it..



As for the team i see Howells missing again is that because hes injuried again or just dropped. as is Karl T another whos spends more time in rehab then on the pitch this season.

As for whos dropped i wouldnt like to guess, RP's in a world of his own when comes to picking teams. (who would have dreamed he come up with the idea of Witt to hooker)
Myself if its going to be so hot as they say then i would have a few speedest in the team and run at their big pack. If he liked Witt to hooker then for a way out crazy idea try Dixon there hes small fast and could easly do a Rob Burrow on them..

heard Dixon and Caro to prop and Krasniqi to wing.

Does it seriously matter who plays for us the result will be the same. I am not being negative and I would love to be proved wrong I am just being realistic and would absolutley love to devour my words piece by piece if I am proved wrong, oh how I would love to be proved wrong I would be in 7th heaven

More likely Channing in and Caro or Dorn out I would think.

Agreed, mine was more hope than expectation, should have said that really.

But big pitch, sunny weather are the sort of games Dorn is made for surely!

As are all the Catalan players...

Could it be because Witt has played hooker in the NRL before?

Neither a big pitch or sunny weather will affect Dorn's ability to commit the howlers he has become famous for this season. Rarely has one player been directly responsible for dropping points as this guy.

a complete joker

Will be amazed if we win.Just hope they lose well.Such ambitions!


Top tips from my recce yesterday - chips&curry sauce very nice,pints cheaper on the sunny side of ground for some reason,if you sit on sunny side you gonna burn,morons from Yorkshire can't resist shouting obscenities out of car windows at people standing at bus stops.And most of all it's a great weekend

Will Lovell makes his debut!

As embarrasing a 1st half as I've seen in ages! OK 1st 10 mins were ok but for all our possession and position we didn't manage a single point! Just like last week, stupid mistakes, slow playing the ball, little in the way of invention - only difference is the opposition are able to punish us unlike last week! Only hope we don't get as badly pummelled as Widnes yesterday!

More absolute garbage.

20 metre restart dropped.

Penalty misses touch.

Kick off belted out on the full.

Commentators saying team not working for each other and showing no willingness to run off ballhandler.

Had enough. Off to New River to see a proper team.

Started second half well (couldn't get worse could it) then after 20 mins or so back to the dross served up for most of the season.

Never started a game there in the NRL, had he done it off the bench?

Skolars won 48-22. Gateshead were big but basic. They kept within 2 scores of Skolars until just before the end when the score blew out. Rob Thomas and Lamont played for Skolars with Lamont in particular having a strong game. Joe, the Worrlord and Martyn Smith also in Skolars team.

Why didn't Dorn play?

yes. He's played there intermittently in parts of other games also.

A widely held belief here in oz is that if you can play half, you can play hooker. Something that for years the UK struggles with the concept of. Remember Glen Air though?

Rubbish for 50 minutes decent for 30
