In a one off game the championship clubs can be competitive. To do it 4 times in 7 weeks will really be the test, particularly if there are short turn arounds

Looks like BTW is playing tomorrow.

Good stuff. Do we know who's out?

buy from the ticket office at bramall lane, far as i am aware there isnt a price increase

No , only what I've read on twitter that he will make his debut.

Maybe Watts... I hope Yeaman doesnt automatically get a spot..
been impressed with Talanoa & Naughton.

Me too, could take Micheals place as not convinced about him, but maybe doesn't deserve to be dropped.

Talanoa has made 3 blunders in three games , Two of them resulting tries for the opposition .

for me yeaman only plays if others have injuries

Wasn't that on the wing? The last two games he has played at centre, offers miles more than Michaels in defence and attack.

Sorry, but you are so wrong on that point, Micheals makes more tackles than any of our backline per match, he also makes far far fewer errors than Talanoa, Talanoa has made 12 errors to Micheals 3, their metres per carry are almost identical.
I'd rather have Micheals in, he's hardly done much wrong, not saying spectacular but then again aside from Mini & some fashes of individual brillaince who has. Other than to give Yeaman a run out I can't see Radford taking him out.

Michaels has pace but the slowness of our passing , Ptb gives him little if any opportunity to use it . Same goes for the rest of the back line .

Naughton will be the one who looses out .

hope not for yeaman

I appreciate you don't get to see many games so you have to use stats instead of your eyes for your comparison.

But if you want to use stats for this argument you have to use the full picture not just the ones to suit your argument.

Talanoa makes more tackle busts, scores more try's, more metres (including average gain), more clean breaks, more offloads and more carries. Talanoa is a more aggressive defender and attacker, that's not a stat that's from actually watching him.

Really disappointed in Talanoa and his errors in the Rovers and Cas game, but in the centre I'd rather have him than Micheals.

IMO he is too small for the centre, I get your point though out slow passing and poor line structure.

Pace in the centres wouldn't be a big problem if we backed up.

He's the same size as Yeaman.

Not as strong as him though, anyway I wouldn't have either as first choice personally.

Just looked at Hulls website, Yeaman is taller and a lot heavier.

Abdul and Turget didn't play yesterday either for the U19's.

They were beating them last week until the 68th minute and within 2 points until Leigh scored twice in the last 3 minutes of the game. Take them lightly at our peril and lets face it we have previous in losing to "teams we should beat".

They ran them close in one game. We have lost to teams that we should beat before. But not to this extent, not in my lifetime anyway.

The players still need to turn up with the correct attitude. If they go expecting to walk all over them there is always a chance we will come unstuck. We still have to put the effort in. But that's the same whether we play the first team or half the under 19s.

We will soon find out anyway. My prediction is that Sheffield will keep it respectable for a while (2 or 3 score difference at HT), then in the last 20 the full time conditioning will show and we will run away. Full time: 54-10

Apparently Westy and Cunningham are out (not sure why in Cunno's case), BTW deffo makes his debut. Full team shortly.

If i were as confident as you i would be filling my boots at the bookies,william hill only prepared to give Sheffield a 20 point start.

I don't bet any more, otherwise I would be.
