I think we may have a chance with Cas at home but other than that I cannot see where other wins are coming from.



Sun Aug 20 – Leeds (A)

Sat Aug 26 – Hull FC (A)

Sat Sep 2 – Castleford (H)

Sun Sep 10 – Salford (A)

Fri Sep 15 – St Helens (H)

Fri Sep 22 – Huddersfield (A)

Huddersfield are definitely going to overhaul us which is extremely depressing.

Can only see one win out of that list..dear oh dear be glad when seasons over and were put out of our misery

Yes but losing last night moved us up in the League one place.



So lose the next 5 and we’ll be top

You never know, in the much vaunted Tony Barrow-caretaker managed period at the end of 85/86, we won our last 6 league fixtures, going from 6th to 4th in the table, and then won 3 play off games to end up with a trophy....

I can see us losing all of them especially with Cas fighting relegation.

Can see it now.

Powell back to Cas and saves them by beating us on the wayicon_smile.gif

Powell will have the inside knowledge to know that Cas only need to score first and we will crumble.

Immediate changes we could make to improve matters (in my view)



Ratch to fullback, Dufty dropped.



Dudson dropped and replaced by Bullock.



Drinkwater dropped and replaced by Hayes or Dean. This way hopefully we get a kicking game back.



Matautia dropped. Defensive liability.



Currie to centre if required.

Have we no wing prospects in the academy? What about the other Thewlis lad? That way is could be



1.Thewlis

2.Thewlis

3. Wrench

4. Ratch

5. Ashton





That's a pacey, youthful back line bar old father time



6. Williams

7. Dean

8. Mikaele

9. Walker

10. Vaughan

11. Currie

12. Nicholson

13. Philbin



14. Bullock

15. Harrison

16. Kasiano (i know i know but spell him for 10)

17. Crowther

I think i would even try Thewlis in the halves. I think we are safe from relegation so we can have a s#it or bust approach & see where it takes us.

I don't know whether Chambers will make wholesale changes but options open to him should include.





Ashton expected back - Wrench to replace Mata'utia at Centre

Not sure what the situation is with Russell (hasn't made the 21 for the last two games). If fit, then would enable Thewlis to FB.

Harrison due back for Leeds game, Bullock was seeing a consultant on Monday I think, so could allow a couple of underperforming forwards to be dropped.

Heyes now fit and Dean back from loan introduces options at HB

On current form. There maybe 2 wins.

That with teams around us going to win today and then having easier run ins. We’re going to find ourselves out of the 6 very soon. Our early start actually saving us from relegation. We are currently worse than last season. At least we were winning the first 20 mins in some of those….and there was thankfully Toulouse.
