Should be a decent game and a chance to make up for the challenge cup debacle. Fingers crossed that Holmes and Jowitt are fit but seems Jowitt is the more doubtful.

Would be absolutely massive for us to get a win here. Getting the two points here just puts us in a position of looking up at the top two whereas a defeat means we're scrambling to get into the play-offs again. With Toulouse away up next, two back to back defeats would be a bit of a dampener.
Think Keyes is a blow for them, although we'll have to see if Jouffret dons his dinner jacket and tears us a new one again. Adam O'brien to come back to haunt us?

Big game for both sides but probably more so for Fax as things stand. Going 4 points behind us in the league would put a dent in their top 5 hopes. Fax win and they go above us in the standings.
Another step up in opposition quality from the last 4 matches.

If Jowitt is out I’d slot Lawford in at 7. Maybe have Appo coming off the bench as I think that’s where he’s most effective. Not sure what Wallace has done for him to dropped the past few weeks either. But can’t change a winning side too much.
Holmes Blackmore Arundel Gill Foggin-Johnston Patton Lawford Baldwinson Lilley Rodgers England Butler Thompson (if he’s still here).
Segeyaro Scurr Appo Matongo/Wallace
If Thompson has gone. Butler to 13. Wallace to SR.

Once again I would like to know exactly how bad Lawrence is injured. He keeps appearing in the 21 squad but never makes the starting 17. Will he ever play for us again?

Me too mate. I’ve stopped putting him in the side now. I’d also like to know what’s happened to Brad Foster. Thought he looked decent in pre-season and did okay in the first game.

Foster was injured in a warm up against someone and is working back to fitness, didn’t play in reserves at weekend so suggests he isn’t quite there yet. Lawrence from what I understand is fit but hasn’t broken back into team yet and despite being captain isn’t it a good thing that we are winning and we don’t need to change a winning team and you aren’t just guaranteed your place becomes you are a senior pro?
There were some Huddersfield fans that would have been happy for Lawrence to go around again for another year. He should be ripping it up in the Championship but he absolutely isn't.

I understand that Betsy and as much as I like Baldwinson I think Lawrence, if fit, would improve the team and offers more than him to the team especially his leadership qualities.
