Right, here we go, a proper game, no messing.

Got to put his best side out, no hiding place.

Will be gobsmacked if we don't duff them up.
Afraid though that we will be dull as ditchwater.

Mr T it's not too far to Castleford, go and see how it's done. Exciting rugby ....

We had a plan at Keighley , we tried to out muscle them but it didn't work then the wheels came off.
Its plan B we need .

My big wish apart from a new half back is playing only 4 props !

Yours in hope .

The Hunslet coach who had been unhappy with some performances in pre-season rang the changes, resulting in a 34-0 victory over Coventry in the cup.

It will be interesting to see where we are in comparison.

No disrespect to Coventry but we really do need a healthy points difference this season IMO, it could be crucial.

Not wanting to state the obvious but we will be without Hodges as well as Kelly & Nicholson .
Worrincy looked useful v Myton but has got to do some work on his match fitness . Lets hope Howden, Hanson & Martin are fit . Donot know where we are re Tonks may be there will be some information forthcoming from the meeting Wednesday .

COYD

Don't forget you said you would stick it to them!

Decided that my questions will be submitted to the SLO .

It save's awkward silences.

Appreciate your support .

Free Press article on the Cup draw but mentions several injury concerns. No players named, so I imagine it will be a question of guess the team for this Sunday. www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk/spo ... -1-8414925

Howden should be available , left out v Myton as a precaution .

Does anyone want to pick their 17 now...or do you want to wait til you see the 19 man squad. Hull played last night so there may be some availability. I'd take a centre of a half back (obvs)

Assuming Mason Tonks is injured, my 17 would be:

Carr
--------------
Sheriff
Welham
Tali
Barnett
-------------
Miller
Howden
------------
Scott
Kesik
Castle
------------
Martin
Worrincy
Thackray
------------
Subs:
Feka
Hanson (if fit) otherwise Spiers
Cross
Wright

The reason I'd have both Cross and Wright on the bench is that we need to be able to inject some pace once we've got on top of them down the middle.

I would expect my team to win by 40 points!

A nice enough side on paper.
A Hull lad or two might be nice, to have a look at some creative alternatives to cover this difficult six match hiatus with little risk given the opposition.

It won't happen I bet.

The squad is Richie Barnett, Zac Braham, Tom Carr, Mark Castle, Kieran Cross, Sam Doherty, Brad England, Jordan Howden, Kyle Kesik, Charlie Martin, Jack Miller, Jason Muranka, Iafeta Paleaaesina, Louis Sheriff, Connor Scott, Russ Spiers, Jason Tali, Jamie Thackray, Liam Welham, Ryan Wright.

Most noticeably missing: Worrincy (who probably needs to get his fitness up) and AJB (who I quite like)

Had a play with those, my selection depends on where Thackray plays. I have put him as second row here, but if he's loose I;d imagine Welham at 12 and England on the bench

1 Carr
2 Barnett
3 Doherty
4 Tali
5 Sherriff
6 Howden
7 Miller
8 Scott
9 Kesik
10 Spiers
11 Martin
12 Thackray
13 Muranka

14 Feka
15 Cross
16 Braham
17 Welham

Coventry squad:

Charlie Omara, Hayden Freeman, Eddie Medforth, Jason Bass, Will Roper, Jamahl Hunte, Joe Prior, Cian Timmins, James Geurtjens, Billy Gaylor, John Aldred, Matt Reid, Chris Barratt, Kieran Sherratt, Mikey Russell, Alex Beddows, Dan Gover, Matt Meek, Brad Smith, Jack Morrison.

I must admit, I'd like to see him (AJB) given a few games.

20 names , just to confuse us , I would have been happy with 19 !!!!!
Thought AB Jones might have got in , but hey ho !

Spiers would be a definite for me .

Carr
Sheriff
Doherty
Tali
Barnett
Howden
Miller
Spiers
Kesik
Castle
Welham
Martin
Thackray

Reps feka Cross Muranka Scott

This 17 is from the 20.

I would have A J-B in my starting line up, also Hanson & Tonks when fit .Too early to judge Worrincy yet clearly not match fit but would be useful in front or 2nd row !

Anyway, I think it us clear we are looking forward to it with more than a little interest.

I would go with

Carr
Barnett
England
Tali
Sheriff
Howden
Cross
Scott
Kesick
Feka
Thackray
Muranka
Martin

rep - Castle - Bramham - Miller - Spiers

There's no Heil or Azuie in squad either!

Onedon are you a 6 prop man like GT ?

Would prefer Welham over England & Heil from what I have seen so far .

Cross as replacement hooker is his best position , that's my opinion anyway !
