Not going to pick a squad as it’ll be wrong anyway but we need to get into these lot from the off and out enthuse their pack. We do that and the GW double act won’t get going and they’ll choke. If we let them get a roll on us and give the halves room to manoeuvre we’re in trouble.

Hopefully having Powell in the side will make a difference as god love him but Shorrocks at hooker is a no no.

He’ll probably go back to that nonsense with Hastings at fullback and Powell in the halves just to mix it up.

Don’t



I’m mildly optimistic after the forum minutes and Cas result.

Today's games have been good and entertaining hopefully ours will be just as good.

I think last week's game was a good result and a confidence boosting performance going into this game, where form can go out of the window so I'm hopeful we get a cracker tomorrow as both sides will want to start building going into the play offs

Shorrocks at nine and Powell on the bench. No Clark or Bullock, so back to the junior front row (and Smithies loose) plus Singleton.

Pointless moaning anymore. Hope we give it a go.

Not having a go at Byrne, he's a youngster playing front row, but he looks absolutely shot, if anyone needs a sit down it's him, made the exact same carry errors as Bullock last week but Lam keeps on flogging him.
I'm sure we'll make the play-offs but I'm equally sure we'll go out with a whimper like '19 if he doesn't rotate the front row

Gildart out in the warm up again.

Wicked bounce but should never let a rugby ball bounce

Sooner that lad disappears the better for all concerned.

Don't know why the commentators were blaming Halsall - nothing he could do about that.

We look a bit more lively in attack in the first 10 at least.

Why does hastings not bloody grubber that close to the line instead of that nothing lob kick

Decent game but I don't know why we persist with these lofted kicks to the corner on every last tackle play.

Last tackle plays are embarrassing as usual. Zero ideas without French.

And KPP offside two sets in a row, rookie mistakes.

Bateman is hurt so get him off. Smith can have a seat as well next to him. We’ve got one front rower on the field, what a mess.

Crazy commentary. It was the luckiest try of the season.

We’re being absolutely embarrassed through the middle of the field again.

Bateman is shocking. Can’t think of one good game he’s had this year. Or even one good moment.

Can do nothing about first try…it’s one of them, and Halsall can’t do anything with that.

Discipline has cost us the 2nd giving all momentum.

We’ve looked worse somehow with Powell on the field IMO…maybe because they know Shorrocks will actually run with the ball.

…and discipline, again. Let off there.

How many f’n offside penalties do we give away? Even though our line speed is pathetic? I don’t get it.

We are a poor team, can't wait till this season's over i actually hope we don't make the playoffs save us the embarrassment

It’s an absolute mess. Lam refuses to help himself with selections but it’s not like he’s got an embarrassment of riches to choose from. Our off the ball running is simply pathetic.

I think that last set might be one of the most amateurish I’ve seen. We actually set up for plays and nearly every lead runner or pivot had their timing all over the show and we end up with a drop off!!

"Wigan get battered ... etc, etc" Love it!
