Walshaw going back to Dewsbury this is the team I would have but if players are still carrying little knocks I would rest them such as Aiton.'"
How does "Pretty much the same team" convert to bringing back Ali, Smith and Aiton and dropping three that played against Wigan? As much as that performance on Sunday was a valiant effort against a team that we couldn't beat it seems to me that those that played on Sunday deserve the chance to put the team back on a winning track against far easier opposition next time out barring injuries considering how poor the previous performances containing your three returnees have been.
If there is going to be any chance of this squad picking its self up and getting back on track then players need to either earn or lose their shirts and not just walk back into the team on name or reputation, it seems to me that no one that played on Sunday did enough to lose their shirt to anyone that didn't.
