Deffo need matongo and Appo to play this one Imo I’d be tempted to put lawford in the halves with Lilley and give Holmes a reprieve

For me it’s a must win. Don’t win this and we could well be bottom of the league come end of Week 5.

The first three games for me were must wins. 6 points on the board going into Fev and Toulouse.

Made a lot harder with Walker’s injury and Lawrence not being in the side. Is Appo fit enough to play? Has he had a pre-season in PNG? Either way we need some power in the pack with Lawrence out.

For me:

Holmes
Foggin-Johnston
Gill
Arundel
Blackmore
Patton
Lilley
Rodgers
Roby
Foster
Butler
Thompson
Appo

Flanagan Sr
Baldwinson
Matongo
Wallace

Absolutely it’s a must win. If attitudes have really changed within the squad, we should expect a response from Monday nights poor performance. Widnes are coming to our patch and the sides are closely matched, time to put down a marker. I am not convinced by MD so far, but this is the ideal match to prove doubters like me wrong.

The bad news is, I will be attending and recent trends have been that we hit new lows each time I do, apologies in advance.

Appo had preseason at Moresby vipers

Great news then so hopefully he’ll be fit.

A big game on home soil this one. Ironically if we win I think we will be exactly where most would have thought after 3 games. The target has to be to win our home games against our rivals for the playoffs and take them close away. We failed to do that with York. A win over Widnes rescues it and Toulouse and Fev are free hits. A loss to Widnes (especially in the same spirit as the York game) and the negativity will spread like wild fire.

We need to be switched on and bang up for it Sunday. JK will have the message across to his lads. Let’s hope MD has done the same

I'd drop Patton start Lawford.
Or go Lawford & Patton 6 and 7 lilley 9.
ROBY bench Hooker Drop GF senior

That's exactly how I would go. Lawford and Patton at half back.

Spot on mate. GF is a fan favourite which i get, but for me isnt good enough to be in a team that wants to be challenging for the top 4

100% when was the last time you saw him scoot & catch markers off side or even make a half break?

Don't think he is the most professional of characters to have around the place.
