Back to the league this week. On paper you'd say Dewsbury at home is a comfortable win. Anything but IMO Dewsbury have been a bit unlucky this year. Could have had a couple more wins on the board if the bounce of the ball had gone their way. They pushed Toronto all the way and beat Featherstone at Featherstone the other week which is a huge result. Could be another uncomfortable afternoon for us as Lee Greenwood strikes me as a coach who gets his players fired up and will certainly have them fired up for this week. Dewsbury have been a bogey team for us last couple of years too (although I bet Walshaw doesn't smash our half-back while Webster's around this year) the Keighley performance could be a blessing in disguise, whilst a lot who played against Keighley won't play this week, I'd imagine Kears been cracking the whip in training and a few choice words will be ringing in the players ears.
Be a tough afternoon this but I think we'll grind the win out. That'll make it 3 on the bounce to hopefully start make winning become a habit. We've 4 league games now where all the teams are below us, so a real opportunity to move up the table. We'll have to fight for every point though.

They are certainly not pushovers. Greenwood is improving them for sure. It will be a tough game, even with our regulars back in the 17. Dewsbury have a had some mixed results and Greenwood has yet to instil that consistency in them but he’ll get there. If they play as well as they can it will be closer than many expect.

If anyone manages to predict the 17 and gets it bang on before the squad us announced then i will tip my hat to them and then advise them to buy a lottery ticket.
There are so many question at the min i havnt a clue which way JK will go.
Current unknowns.....
Ryan or Pickers at 1? Ryan Evans DFJ on the wings? Webbo, Evans Oakes in the centres? Lilley, Chizz, Wilidie, Milnes at half? Hallas, Flannagan Wildie at 9? Storton, Farrell Mini 2nd row? Hallas, Wood, Mini at 13? Wood as a prop instead of a 13? Webbo 80 mins in the centre or switch him to 2nd row during the game? Bustin in or out?
Can anyone help?!?!?! My god my head hurts, thank god im not a coach

They've used the loan market quite a bit this season already. Off the top of my head, they've had Owen Harrison from KR, Luke Hooley & Chris Annakin from Wakefield, Samy Kibula and Callum Field from Wigan, as well as the two lads from Leeds. Maybe explains their erratic form, as it's far from a settled side when you've got different loanees in each week.

Interesting, sounds like a familiar scenario.
