Ignore last post i mean this team!

Hey, whats wrong with my team (even though Id didn't name one)

Id leave Tom Briscoe out personnaly, nothing to prove and will give him chance to look at other centre options or give Hall some flat track bully time



Moa, OMeley & Luaki to have a decent run out too

Dave dont take it to heart mate



Cant wait to see young un's playing.. Aving watched um 4 years!

he might look at o meley as a starting prop alongside dowes. moa probably wont start as i think his role in the side will always be as an impact player coming on after 30 mins.
also like to see turner at half back and maybe try something different at hooker

no point in organising friendlies pre season if the majority of the squad doesnt get that game time to gel in battle!!
apart from anyone with knocks all should play again

I agree with that, match fitness is invaluable.

Take a good team with players getting game time they need time to gel ..Our first game is Saints away and we need all the first team players firing on all cylinders

wot reports...?

Cusack would benefit from another run out as well.

In the HDM and on Radio Humberside.

Not sure about that. Think we've got 3 workhorses in Radders, Dowes and Cusack. O'Meley to create a bit of impact for me (albeit based on one friendly)

yeah agree thats what he looks like going for - might not hurt as an experiment though in case injuries strike. will be interesting to see whether he plays radders at prop again. interestingly even thou lauaki was mooted for prop, agar seems to want him in the back row. manu looks a certain starter here in superleague games. would think the side that started the derby wont be too far off what starts at saints.

Is there anywhere in particular where people will be sitting/standing on sunday?

are many going, only a short trip up the M1 for us, might meet for a few sherberts. (with a few herberts

)

I disagree. I think the pack may look completely different. Agar said in the paper that he started certain players because he knew what they could do off the bench so wanted to see what they could do from the start.
Can't see Lauaki starting. Tickle will be on from the start. Manu has always been used as an impact as well, but it looks like we're going for them 3 so will probably start.
Dowes and Radford starting at prop seems a bit light as well. But you get the feeling that Radford will have to feature somewhere. But with Moa and O'Meley on the bench, who do you pick to start from Cusack, Dowes and Radford?

I'd be interested to see who the last bench place would go to out of the likes of Washbrook, Houghton and Whiting (assuming he starts with the same backs).

Yep, I'll be there. Would have been a short walk to Bramall Lane but Don Valley is only a tram ride.

been a long time since the early days of superleague and had to go to don valley, whats the parking like nowadays, we use to park up a litlle slip road close to the stadium

Were you guys going for a pre match drink??

West st i hope

don't forget its not always logical when it comes to agar's selections



and its nice to have so many options all of a sudden

i'm gonna park where i do for the arena - on the side road next to the hotel opposite the arena square pub. 10 mins walk to the ground max and easy to get away

We'll soon be crucifying players left, right and centre and reducing our options in the next few weeks when things go bad!

It's a testimonial game for Jack Howieson, one of the Sheffield players, so will hopefully be a decent turn out for him. Tickets are only £10 for adults
