This Thursday will be a real indication of where we are at the moment. A step up in class of opposition.

Connor will come back but I wonder if Radford will bring anyone else in?. I doubt it as he seemed happy with the performance.

Forwards will need to be up for it, or we could be in for a long night.

I think we'll go with mostly the same team. Connor straight into the halves and Washy to the bench in place of Lane. Hopefully Litten isn't the one to miss out.
Paea will have to be much improved or for me he misses out the week after and Levy is given a go (or perhaps Jack Brown).

How far away are Green and Bowden? After the Cas game its 2 weeks until the next one. At least one of them must be getting close by then?

Need to win one of the next 2 or both, the pressure is massively on. Hopefully if Radford rolls the dice he will come up with double 6.

Lose the next 2 and things will get sour very very quickly, 14 losses in a row is hard to defend and I think will be the end of LR. I dont care how we get the W just get one end the streak and move on.

Hopefully us as supporters can bring the team home on Thursday.

£2.50 ticket offer on presumably strong advanced sales leading up to this week should lead to a bumper crowd. 16-18k?

I don't think that you were far away on Friday night and the introduction of Connor and Westerman should give you the edge over Cas missing Gale and Ellis in the halves.

I didn't realise Westerman was back.

Hadley injured again,seems injury prone to me.

Westerman, Miloudi and Connor in the 19 https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/r ... ws-2509025

Surprise , surprise , Hadley injured again !!

Quote ="MGarbutt1986"Westerman, Miloudi and Connor in the 19 https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/r ... ws-2509025'" In come three players maybe that can find that bit of magic to get us a try in the opposition 20. Just what we were missing.

we [uMUST[/u win on Thursday

Not too worried if Hadley is injured with Westerman coming back in as pretty much a straight swap though would have been nice to have Hadley on the bench.

Connor straight in at 6 in place of Washy.

My 17 would be

1. Shaul
2. Faraimo
3. Carlos
4. Griffin
5. MDJ - MDJ did nothing wrong and had a decent game so deserves another game
6. Connor
7. Sneyd
8. Taylor
9. Houghton
10. Masi
11. Manu
12. Mini
13. Westy

Interchange

Lane
Thompson
Paea - Had we any other forwards available I'd have sat Paea out, but he really has to step his game up from his last effort.
Washy/Litten/Miloudi - Obviously one of either of the 3, Washy dependable, Litten nippy at PTB and showed up well last game, Miloudi a bag a tricks (though seems to be carrying a bit of timber)

Hopefully the inclusion of Connor & Westy will be enough to see us get a much needed 2pts.

McMeeken and Cook out for them so you guy's should have this one.

Think Washy has earnt a place on the bench probably in front of Lane.

I thought Dawson looked dodgy with kicks got lucky twice, was pretty solid apart from that.

Big games needed from Thompson and Paea.

Hope Litten retains his place as I though he offered some impact from the bench.

Quite fancy us to win this one with Westy and Connor back.

Hadley does seem to pick up a few injuries.

Has he got any "big" games left in him?

Think Westy might start on bench with Washy at 13

Think the loss of McMeeken and Cook is a negative for Cas and big plus for us going into this game, so really no excuses.

Cas fans seem to see the game a certainty for an away win for them.

It doesnt matter which way round Radford plays it because Westerman will surely only play limited time due to lack of match fitness.
Miloudi included in case Dawsons injury rules him out.
Would prefer to see Miloudi on the wing.
Our bench again will be weak.We have to find some impact.Hkr won that game with their bench players.
For the time being i would play Logan or Scott at centre and have Griffin coming off the bench as a second row.

We lost to 10 seconds of freak luck to KR.

Freak luck? A Class kick to the corner, pass back, quick pass out by Addy, slick pass from Mags to Jimmy in the corner....Yep your right.

Described as a 'hail mary' by the kicker !!

However we defended the kick very poorly all match, making at least 5 errors - so suppose a try was inevitable, timing just gut wrenching !!

Agreed, shame a few others cant see it as it was.

congrats on the win ruby, a bit much is being made of the rovers try, in hindsight we deal with it different as am sure you would have done against Salford 2 years ago, its done and dusted, in the last few years we have had some tight finishers, this is another one to put in the collection, as for cas there are fav for the match, but we play like we did against rovers and with the extra players back think and hope we will be near,
