Injuries always happen, so squad players are vital

I would imagine / hope that they'll all be playing v Bradford on Saturday at 12 noon.

They'll buckle down in the reserves and in training and fight for their place. Well, as professionals they should anyway.

Yep, one would hope that is the case. You do wonder though with the amount of stuff said about our squad at times.

Noble should tell them that they HAVE to do just that.

If they are not prepared to fight for there place back then they won't get it barring any huge injury list. For too long imo certain players knew that if they were fit they would always play, lets hope that that will now no longer be the case.

With the size of the squad some players will have to play reserve team rugby and await their chance.

If they perform well enough in the first team they should stay there. As you all know I'm not one for making wholesale changes in a short space of time.

Certain players take a while to settle in, and some positions are more critical than others.

Ainscough and Tomkins have both took their chances well and should stay in the first team.

Other players have not and are currently out of the side. If they perform well enough at reserve level then they should get the chance again if injury or loss of form persists amongst first team players.

The players I suspect under most pressure at this time would be Smith and Coley.

For once, we seem to have a little bit more strengt in depth. Its been a while since so many 'first teamers' have to keep missing out

If you get a chance in the 1st team u have got to take it injuries and suspensions are all part of the game and good luck to sam n ainy you cant not pick them for the bulls game.

id make one change, coley for prescott.

i would of loved to see baileys tackle count on sat, I know he made something stupid like 41 against wakey

That is the one reason he should remain at centre, he does nothing in the second row, at least he is used to improve our defense outside which we need, he will also score plenty tries close to the line.

Mathers, Smith and Coley should not even be considered the way they are playing but I suppose Smith will have to play.

I would much rather see the likes of Prescott and Mossop get some more games.

You'd hope they'd work hard in training, play well for the reserves and bide their time waiting for another shot in the first team. As and when that opportunity comes you'd hope they'd put 110% effort into the game and try their best to keep their shirt for the week after.

Thats how things 'should' work but i wonder sometimes with us.

Fight for thier places. The only way it should be, if they want to play 1st team they have to earn it

According to our nightly sports programme Hull are sniffing round. No doubt using a chunk of the Crocker money to tempt him.

Don't pull our legs



Please lord let it be true!!!

Is that as a replacement for byrne with him being out for the season?

Why don't we just Ebay him off?

Somebody threw them a dummy onto their message board.

Rogues prepares to login to RLFANS

We'd get more in postage

Kick off is 5:30 though...

Turn round and look up. The point of Rogues post should be somewhere over your head.

He means in the reserves

Gonna bloody say. Thought he'd lost it in 2 ways then! haha

1. Wanting Mathers to play and...
2. Getting the wrong K.O time.

I only look stupid.
