Yeah I was expecting a lot weaker squad considering the talk about their injuries but it doesn't seem too bad.


Glad to see Ashton not featuring though - I'm sure he scores an intercept against us every game.

Wire in peace.....


Forwards look ok, but backs and halves are hit


Backs - Ashton, King plus long term injury to Wrench and Taylor-Wray
Halves - Sneyd, Williams plus long term injury to Hayes
Hooker - Walker (various rumours that he might play but I doubt it very much. Possibly just mind games - which I hate).
Props - long term injury Thomas


Walker named in the squad, as is Lindop.
Suprised Lindop is in because he had a broken/cracked jaw only a couple of weeks ago. 


The half back choice will be interesting.
I think it could well be Ratchford and Currie just for their experience and size.
If Irwin or Leyland start they'll be targetted for sure.

I've never seen anything in Leyland to suggest he's SL class.

Goodness, that was a shocking performance.


Our defence at times was absolutely abysmal.


Matty Peet has a big decision on his hands in dropping Farrell, just has to be done now.

The bench props aren't really stepping up either. Thompson is great, Walters has really stepped up, but Byrne, Dupree, and Hill have not really stepped up.
