The Avenger: Droopy: To come out of our opening 4 games with 2 wins against the teams we have been up against is a big achievement. Massive credit to the team and backroom staff. Hopefully we can maintain this level of performance and have a good crack at getting into the playoffs.
Hard to pick out the best performers from that game as it was a big team performance, but Croft deserve a lot of praise for how he has started this season. Considering fans would have quite happily seen him leave before the start of last season to where he is now considering a very capable team player speaks volumes for his commitment and attitude.
I’m looking forward to maybe seeing some more fringe players against Hudds next week like Russell, Rourke, Smith and hopefully some returning players from injury like Griffin and Cozza…we might even get a surprise appearance from Rodwell? I’m not saying I’d like wholesale changes but some players definitely deserve a week off.
I can’t see us rotating players out for the Challenge Cup as it represents our best chance of silverwear this season and that would boost our IMG score.
Absolutely.
Both Matt Ellis and Powell have said that we want to be winning trophies and resting players for a cup game, against SL opposition isnt going to win us anything.
Granted, Wigan may have been tired from their Vegas trip but, Huddersfield were beating them at HT yesterday.
We will need to perform well to beat them.
