Anyways, positive news is we get to see all the new signings get a run out, looking forward to seeing how they get on

Just hope Cator isn't be thought of as the bench hooker, got to be Balmforth (get the feeling Smith isn't his biggest fan though)

I feel the same way about Smith and Balmforth. He can never seem to just give him praise without then continuing to say he has a lot of negatives to his game aswell, although I do appreciate Smith wants him to improve and it could just be his way of keeping him grounded.


I can't say the thought of Cator being mooted as a regular replacement at 9 on the bench fills me with much optimism. That said with both Houghton & Balmforth not being risked at Doncaster due to minor injuries it's an opportunity to test the option out of Cator at 9. Still think it will likely be a combination of Houghton/Balmforth/Smith during the season and possibly Cator only being used as cover if we have to move Smith in to the halves should the need arise due to injuries.






I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

Is it just me getting déjà vu with Balmforth potentially falling behind a makeshift 9 like what happened to Litten with Washbrook & Hadley playing 9 ahead of him.

Hope this doesn't happen again, makes it far too easy for teams to defend against us if the passing from dummy half is slow and predictable as it was when Hadley/Washy played there and when shaul and fash have also filled in there. If we have specialist players at 9, use them.

It will be worth watching the speed of passing out of DH on Sunday - I think we will see a huge difference between Cator and Hodgson. Quick service from DH is essential to your set being on the front foot

Strong squad announced, might not be anything, but some intresting choices of reserve players

Martin over Barron
Severs over Jebson
Charles over Harman and Medforth

Think Martin has earned his spot over Barron in the squad.
Severs probably could do with the game-time more than Jebson.
Thought Charles was probably the most threatening out of the three vs Bradford, however I do like the look of Harman.
