So unless i am wrong that would just leave us with Corey Johnston available on dr and once O'brien is fit we won't need him either. Loans are still a option but this should please the haters of dr and mean at least 2 changes for sunday. Game wise i am still not very confident in the way we are playing and York seem to have picked up in form since their change in coach. They did give us a good hiding at their place in one of the worst Fax performances i have seen for some time. Score wise i can see a narrow York win.

There’s no room for manoeuvre now on the playing front and any more injuries or suspensions and we’re screwed with who we have left.
Watch some highlights of York in recent games and they really put themselves about with a good dangerous mixture of speed and skill to back up the physicality.
Tough game but on the other hand the lads will know it so all leads up to a cracker.

I’m more interested and focussed on our current predicament, our threadbare squad and what the rules will allow to increase the numbers and trying to survive by any legal means.

I hope the club are focussing in on that as well, that’s far more important than the rights and wrongs of the old argument surrounding DR / loans and the rest of the rugby league BS that’s in today’s game.
