An ugly win, is still a win - and somehow ironically suitable against ugly wakey.
The young uns will see us through - it's all part of their development and they will so keen as anyone who steps up will probably get another game next week too!

Stop panicing Brown and Grix will play in the halves Cudjoe at full back this week,and only and Robinson Falogo will play in the Exiles game so every one else will be available for the wakey game.

There was a panic?

Not really, we still have enough to beat wakey, just by how much

Seems like Cudjoe and Eorl will be back. A tad surprised about Eorl missing out. Our props don't seem to get the recognition for their efforts. Mase, Eorl and Griff have all been quality this season.

Yep, Robinson plays

Faiumu and Fa'alogo on the bench

So we're now at

Out

O'Donnell
Faiumu
Fa'alogo
Brough
Robinson
Simpson
Carlisle

Doubtful

Brown
Raleigh
Grix
Lunt

How long before LO'D is back? Can't be that long now hopefully.

From a Giants pov I am pleased to have Eorl and Leroy back.

I think Peacock has been one of the best forwards in the SL era. However in the games i have seen him on tv since returning from injury he has been poor. No way is he ahead of Eorl (or Griff or ,for me, mace).

Steve Mac nice guy, poor coach.

Approx 2 weeks

I don't think that Morley has quite reached the heights yet this season either and I don't see what either Peacock or Morley have to prove. It seems a waste of an opportunity to play these two in this kind of game. Peacock is the most baffling as he's not been available long enough to even play himself into any form, whereas McNamara has parped about how players needed to be playign consistently well to even be considered.

Maybe Macca thinks he is between a rock and a hard place with Morley and Peacock, if he doesn't pick the best two props for a decade he cops flack, if he picks them he cops flack.

Hopefully they will underperform and allow him to drop them for the main event?

Not having a dig at Carvell in anyway but what planet is Mcnamara on if he thinks he is a better prop than Crabtree
this year in superleague

crabtree carvell

appearances 14 15
tries 3 1
metres 1452 1282
carries 189 169
tackles 365 337
offloads 8 17
tackle busts 40 6
missed tackles 6 12
penalties 7 11


i must be missing something that Mcnamara has obviously spotted that makes Carvell a better prop than Crabtree

the side i would imagine will look something like

cudjoe
mcgillivary
lawrence
wardle
hodgson
brown
wood
griffin
lunt
crabtree
gilmour
horne
kirmond


mason
patrick
raleigh
cording

although i still dont think faiumu will get big game time tomorrow so may back up.

whats up with D ferguson is he injured or summert? why ant he been playing for u?

Strained back.

I'd go something similar but with Hodgson at full back, Cudjoe in the centre and Lawrence on the wing. Dave Hodg was at full back for a time against Cas.
For me, Horne is lucky that the Exiles game is on as he was woeful against Cas

I agree with Mable. Get Dodgy at FB and have him moving around with Leroy depending on where we are on the field and whether we have the ball or not.

Wouldn't say Horne had a great game but he wasn't woeful.

He just can't hold the ball

No matter how many you have out of the two teams that take the field on Sunday yours will be by far the stronger on paper and it will be your usual 50 point win. But if you take us lightly like you did Crusaders anything can happen.

well you have morrison playing not hes not in exiles team so that will help you.

im not in agreement with hodgson at full back.... cudjoe would be better there

did you see hodgsons kick off from the re start!!!!



and cudjoe was on the field! shambles

it looked like he only tapped it as well. Is it true that the Shay is 10m shorter than the Galpharm?

Anyone up for giving McNally a go at Fullback with Wood in the halves? Only way we will know if they can make it is if they play...

i think he dropped one which was more due to the shocking pass he received.

He also got a couple pf penalties for having the ball stripped. They looked blatant penalties to me not the ball carriers mistakes.
