Yeh been fairly impressed with hame so far despite his limited amount of game time!

Shame Agar does not feel the same, both games he has not even bothered using him until the 2nd half for a 20 minute spell

Yup his changes are strange to say the least! If we could get him and Manu running from deep and hitting gaps then we would have to extremely exciting players but that's too much to ask obviously

Regardless of whether Horne and Long are fit, i'd still revert Turner to centre. He doesn't look comfortable at 6, and Manu doesn't have enough of an impact when playing centre compared to second row. Westerman (looked happier throwing the ball about against Leeds) and Obst at 6 and 7 if the 'big guns' don't make it

I'm hoping Ogre has picked out Eorl this week as his "one to watch". Should be a good forward battle, weather forecast's not bad at all. Looking forward to seeing McGillvary too - been impressed with him so far.

If Horne wasn't playing he wouldn't be in the squad, just hope he really is 100%.

I just hope Agar doesn't do what he did at Wakefield last year!

You mean playing a half fit richard Horne as interchange hooker....another genius idea from agar!

Prop this year.

Aye, Moa back to 10 minute spells.

Moa 10 mins, Lauaki 12 minutes and Horne the new 80 minute prop........... I best put i am joking before Agar takes it as an idea

He'll be lucky. 5 minutes then feck off.

Come on Chris you know if he doesn't knock on he will be allowed to play his allocated 20 minute game.

Nah, there'll ba a 10 minute spell at 13 in there.

you could be right, as by not being a loose forward he does qualify for a spell at 13

It's the same thing that's qualified him at stand off for 11 years.

I disagree, he played well when surrounded by the right composition of players. Problem is in the last few years the onus has been on him to create stuff which is not his game.

Seems you took my post too seriously

Been a great running 6 for years. But, as you say, a creator he isn't.

Is anyone going? I wasn't then thought I might so I asked my 7 year old if he wanted to go. His response was:

"No, I know what will happen, and I'm not listening to it on the radio either"

That's me told then

I am, but your lad has it right. Such wisdom in one so young

He has the best short kicking game at the club. We've scored plenty of tries from his kicks in the past. Way better than long's

I am going with my lad. Expecting to lose but that way a victory would be all the sweeter. Suspect i will partake in copious amounts of alcohol and be depressed for at least 3 or 4 days afterwards whereupon i can look forward to another thrilling game on the friday at the KC

I know. He hates rovers with a passion too

Hell yeah. 8 mile round trip for me. Pub lunch at Three Nuns in Mirfield, birthplace of Jean-Luc Picard (Mirfield that is, not the pub). Forecast dry and sunny. Ogre v Eorl. Why wouldn't you?

4 of us heading over for a day out more than in hope.

Worst ever captain of the enterprise though
