We clearly picked up one or two knocks yesterday so there could be a bit of rotation next week. It sounds like Hood and Pratt are clearly out so Doyle starts for me with Harvey Smith as interchange and then surely Croft is a straight shoe-in for Pratt ?? Hope Atoni is good to go too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmuABp0 ... eldTrinity

Sounds like Griff could be left centre then ??

Make your mind up FIL...

Hopefully Croft, way more impact at SR is Griffin.

I would go for changing as little as possible.

Smith for Hood. Doyle starts at 9.

Croft straight in for Pratt.

Leave Griffin at right second row.

Wonder if this the game for Luke Bain to make an appearance? York by the sounds of it are struggling with injuries in the forwards.

There is Issac Shaw too, another one who has yet to appear. Surely both must be something like ready

Have they played in reserves yet? I don't think I've seen them.
They need to play there first before they change a winning side (baring injury cover) imho.

They certainly should play one in reserves first but suppose it depends if Atoni and Bowden pull through this week after their knocks. If one pulls through we will be fine but if not we will have only 3 x props available.

York are definitely missing Myler who is recovering from elbow surgery and could be out until July and also their other half-back Nikau Williams who is suspended.

Guess I should consult Daryl Powell before posting in future

The Croft v Griffin thing is a question.

Griffin is certainly better in the SR but DP keeps playing him in centre when Croft is available.

Both play right so it isn't that.

It suggests DP doesnt rate him high enough but may be niggles or something else..

Croft is a better centre than Griffin, who's centre days are well behind him. We lose Griffin's strike when he's not in the second row. Makes no sense to impact two positions to cover the one.

I don't disagree with what you are saying
........so why isn't he playing?

Only DP and Croft will know, be interesting to see who plays there next. If we do get back into SL centre is definitely a position we’d be looking at strengthening as other then Thornley we look pretty light weight.

I don't think Powell rates croft tbh, its deffo an area which we should look to strengthen in.

Croft has been 18th man a few times this year and named on the bench and was an unused sub!

I personally don't mind croft as a squad player and I think he should get his chance at centre and leave griff at SR

Yes actions definitely speak, especially as an unused sub at Fev. Get Latrell Gee’d up for next year

Sorry if this is mentioned elsewhere, but what’s the parking like at York?

We used Monks Cross park and ride which is free and next to the stadium. Just make sure you're not in the shopping car park.

FIL will be too scared to go now RW&B......

If she's anything like her dad then there's nothing to be scared of



....but if she's like her brother then

She actually played for the Fev lioness's but has been sidelined with a bulging disc! She had a jab so hopefully it will settle down a bit, some of her former team mates are playing for Fev on Sunday, they played them last week at York and lost 80-8!

Yeah, won't be many teams that beat York Valkyrie this year...think she might do well to have another week off
