sarsfield fairbank and ferguson in ahead of raleigh? andy made 33 tackles on friday v wire only faiumu made more and he was on pitch for more mins

Eorl to full back, Fa'alogo to scrum half and Broughy jinking his way through the line at prop

Don't know how Ferguson gets in the squad.He's done nothing to convince me he's good enough for SL

add to the fact that ferguson was a doubt for this game, he cannot be 100% and sarsfield wont be used so why is named in squad, pure lunacy

Has brown gone la la.

looks a reasonable squad to me.

Andy is injured- out 4-6 weeks.

Grix, Lawrence, Cudjoe, Gilmour, Brown, Brough, Crabtree, Robinson, Griffin, Fa'alogo, Faiumu, Mason, Patrick, Horne, McGillvary, Fairbank, Wardle, Sarsfield, Ferguson.
squad

Webb, Delaney, Hall, McGuire, Burrow, Leuluai, Buderus, Peacock, Jones-Buchanan, Sinfield, Lauitiiti, Bailey, Kirke, Hauraki, Clarkson, Pitts, Jones-Bishop, Amor, Hardaker

Interesting how Bailey was named in the squad before his appeal.

About as good as we can ask for right now !!

no he isnt he is fine, brown needs his head testing

good squad that, only missing o'donnell and lunt (but they are big enough losses, two internationals! or ex)

people moaning about ferguson being in the team? id have him in, one of our better players and was the star early on in his games for us but had that back problem which seems to have taken abit of getting over...seems to be between him or kirmond alot of the time. his turn this week

lets hope brown has got it right this week!

Funny - but the announcement was his season was finished, injury which will take 4-6 weeks- he made it on radio Leeds this evening- are you saying he's lying

thats exactly what im saying

Why?

Maybe to make sure he does not get a serious injury which would scupper his move to Wakefield. Wakefield fans announcing that Kermit has signed for 3 years.

Maybe Andy is unhappy at being offloaded from his home town club and told NB what he thinks of him

no idea why but he is not injured i know that for a fact, saying he is injured so doesnt have to play him is gutless and what little respect i had for brown has disapeared, i couldnt care less if he goes and in fact when mid season he umms and arhs again about staying i wont bat an eyelid

Why say he's injured so as not to play him-he hasn't played him for much of the season but hasn't claimed he was injured then.

no he claimed he was not match fit and then didnt play him so how can he get match fit, he is gutless and doesnt want to answer questions on why he isnt picking him, wheather you rate andy as a player or not no one deserves this bull , absoloute clown

And back to Fridays squad....
LOD and Lunt are big misses , but the squad named we would have been very confident of beating most sl teams and Leeds 5 months ago. It looks a very strong team - let's hope they perform like they did 5 months ago.

I do rate Andy- I think partly he's been unlucky with injuries at the wrong time so lost his spot- i dont know why he wasnt played when he recovered but then im not the coach so arent paety to what goes on in training. I'm just wondering why you think Nathan is lying about his injury,when he clearly has had no problem leaving him out of the side in the past with no such explanation.

It seems like Lunt may have had some kind of set back, probably wont see him while next season now. He has been a big miss IMO.

i know he is lying about the injury because andy is not injured, i have no idea why he would say he is when he isnt and when we have a must win game to keep season alive and we leave out one of our most reliable defenders for someone ( ferguson ) who if 100% fit is not match fit, two very different things

Andy is certainly not match unfit, he has been busting a gut to get back in the reckoning and after last weeks stats he has more than earned his place.
I am told, by a very reliable source, that his continued ommission has bewildered more than one of the senior players who have raised the issue with NB, but to no avail apparently.
I have got to agree that his judgement poses more questions than it answers.

Trust me he is injured.

no is not
