Tricky one this as they seem in good touch. They seem to blow hot and cold so we’ll see (obviously only if you are wearing sun glasses!)
One thing is clear though March is a big month for us. There are 3 winnable games- albeit 2 are away. If we get no joy then we go into 2 unwinnable games in April followed by one more opportunity to win at home against Barrow before the overly extended run of away games takes the momentum out of the season.

They've certainly won the right to be confident off the back of their last two fixtures. I think there is something there for us if we sharpen up in possession, particularly in good ball. Phases against Fax showed we can defend with intent, however the consistency over 80 probably still not there yet.
Agree with your assessment of next month, we really do need to be ripping some two pointers away.

We need to win this, yes Sheffield are on form, but this is not Tolouse or Fev, we need to be winning these games at home

It would be good if we put in at least a decent performance. As Knocker says our defence looks sharp it’s our attack that is somewhat predictable. I think where we are is that we can no longer out spend other teams and so we need to rely on imports and keeping a good team spirit going. You only have to look at who some of the other fairly modest teams are able to recruit and the DR arrangements going on to see that it’s a struggle for us. They just don’t want to come here.
It would, of course, help if we recruited in a timely fashion, for instance during the off season. Sadly, if we could get to the end of the season as a mid ranking team that would, in the space we now occupy, be a major success. Although as others have noted pretty much everybody/everybody? Is off contract at the end of the season so we could be down amongst the dead men once again in ‘24.

W'e'll never beat Sheffield tomorrow. We could barely beat a weak Whitehven team last week. Feel sure to bash me if we win

What a Baldrick style cunning plan Torbreck, we play Saturday when they are expecting Sunday. That might just work if we can nobble Northernbloke's mate in the middle. :D

I see no trains on the Thameslink line to Haydons Road on Sunday. That coupled with no trains on my line out to Essex has finally knocked it on the head for me. I can't see how Broncos will ever attract big crowds to Plough Lane with the lack of transport options. It's a very nice stadium but with a branch line station with a half hourly Sunday service, a single bus route, again half hourly frequency and various tube and rail stations 25 minutes walk away coupled with limited parking it's not great to get to. At least Trailfinders had multiple frequent bus routes and plenty of street parking even though the rail and tube was a bit of a hike. Ironically I can drive to Ebbsfleet in less than an hour!

No Raiwalui again, rapidly turning into our Rugby League standard issue 'mercurial halfback'. So mercurial I'm not entirely sure he exists

Perhaps he is busy helping Emmanuel Waine gain his Visa !

The loan periods for Silva, Eckersley and Hill are all due to expire after this weekend I believe.

I suspect Grant is still injured despite being in the 21.

You'd think travelling to Keighley and Newcastle short handed is shooting yourself in the foot. Needs some movement next week.

Remind me, when does the current pre-season finish? !!!
