So onto our nearest and dearest. Surely we're due a win after they comfortably beat us 3 times last year including a humiliating defeat with an extra man for the entire game.

Hard to call this. Fax seem up and down, including in the 80 minutes. We've been much better this season but when we've been bad, the bad habits of trying to take short cuts have reared their ugly head from last season and we've stank the place out. However when we've played well we've won this year.

If we suffer two Derby defeats however, it will be a sore one for the fans. Particularly as we've made a promising start this year. Ignoring the bragging rights at stake, it's a pivotal game this one.

Agreed. If we perform like we did at Keighley then we'll get beaten and all the goodwill the team and coach have built up will evaporate. Would be good to have Thompson back if he's fit. We need a grown up on the field when it gets tough to stop the headless chicken play.

Sadly, i think we're going to be subjected to social media videos of the Fax players singing childish songs and Grix doing one of his self-congratulatory interviews. Can't wait That guy's never going to kiss a girl

Some big decisions to be made next week in terms of selection.
Holmes in the halves Jowitt at the back?
Appo to an edge?
Lilley at 9?
Tompson back in at 13?
Who starts at prop along side Baldy?
Has Lawford done enough?
Just Tindall on DR?
Too early to throw Turgut in?
Any new players signed this week?

Going to be some moving and shaking this week with the 3 bans along side Lawrence, England, Walker and Matongo still missing and serious doubts over Gilly.

I can honestly say i havnt a clue what team we will put out!!

Fax have made a forward signing already in time for our game.

What position did Turgut play

He played prop and was quite impressive for a first run out.

Might well be worth playing him then rogers and Johnson are a big miss

I think you deserve a pat on the back for that comment.
