I see Reece Dean is playing for Doncaster today. Let's hope he does well.

Well he's already scored 2 tries after 25 minutes, and Turgut 1.

I think we will win the next two easily, then loose 40 plus against Warrington on Easter Monday.

Like to see Dean given a shout , Wakefield is the ideal game for him . Our half's have been out played in most games so far this season .

we will beat Warrington

Turgut didn't score , played in centre , wasn't impressed with him.
Dean was impressive & Paleaaesina has had a great attitude in the games he has played for us.

I actually don't think Michaels has done that much wrong, people see tries getting scored down his wing and immediately jump on him. Personally I think most tries can be traced back to the men in the middle. If you are stretched out wide that means someone in the middle of the field hasn't done their job properly. After that it's kind of like a goalkeeper in a penalty shootout. If they save a try then it's a great play, but 9/10 a try is going to be scored. You're pretty much on a hiding to nothing.

However I said as soon as Fonua got injured that I would put Naughton in, and Michaels hasn't done anything to change my mind. I think Naughton offers a bit more of an attacking threat.

As for wanting us to lose. I'd love nothing more than us to go on a good run, and I will still be cheering us on (from afar) against Wakefield. But if it's a choice between sleepwalking our way to another 7/8th place finish, or a bit of short term pain to make AP realise he has to do something, then I know what I would choose.

I think it will be a comfy paper offering the cracks win, our pack has at least matched the oppositions in the last 3 games, we have being beat because of better halfbacks and outside backs, Wakey have neither.

Really disappointing if we don't beat Rovers the state they are in, Warrington should be our first real test to see how much and if we have learnt from the last few weeks.

If we play like we did against Wigan, Cas and first 20 against Widnes we should win easy.

By definition you can't tell if something is papering over the cracks until after it happens. Often long after. For instance, if a win against Wakey is the first in a 10 match unbeaten spell it wouldn't be papering over any cracks.

Unless of course you've seen the future? If so, can I have the Lotto numbers please?

In League Express this week that Wakey's coach shortlist is drawn up and appointment could be made this week.

Move Michaels inside to centre. He's been scapegoated but is still better than Talanoa at the moment in my opinion. Give Naughton a chance too.

People calling for Yeaman forget how bad he became in the last 2 years. Whiting will only come back in an injury crisis, I think.

Drop Watts for Green and give Abdull another shot.

Do we make a raft of changes or say to them,you got us in this mess,you sort it out......if a raft then it has to be aNaughton,Lancaster and Yeaman in......Micheals,Talanoa dropped,Carlos to 6 and Abdul to 13.id consider bringing Feka in as well.

Reece Dean in contention after his recent displays at Doncaster and the academy?

Reece Dean was injured on Sunday playing for the Dons.

I have followed us for far to long and know the pattern.

I've changed my mind on the team front.


Shaul
Naughton
Talanoa (Yeaman if he isn't fit)
Logan
Micheals
Carlos
Sneyd
Taylor
Houghton
Bowden
Ellis
Mini
Manu

Frank
Green
Thompson
Washbrook

Shaul
Naughton
Yeaman
Logan
Talanoa
Carlos
Sneyd
Taylor
Houghton
Ellis
Pritchard
Mini
Manu

Watts
Bowden
Dean
Washbrook

We need a back on the bench plus Dean can cover nine Washy the back row

We'll win easily. wakey are the kind of team who will roll over in front of our big pack. When fonua is back he needs to be in the centres.

couple of wakey players up before the rfl www.rugby-league.com/the_rfl/disciplinary arona and walton look set to miss out walton charged for lifting and dangerous throw (sure if he played for wigan it would've been just a caution)

Wonder if there will be any surprises in the squad ?

Time to welcome Yeamo back!

For what my penneth is worth, I feel we should be on 8 points minimum. If Chester engineers a win for Wakey and then, God help us Dobbins do the same, Radford should do a Smithy!!!

I really think we have to throw down the gauntlet on Friday and we should put plenty past them. Would like to see Dean play but doubt it'll happen.

For Radford & the players to prove to us the Widnes game as a blip (to put it lightly), they need to win convincingly on Friday, and again the week after. We're playing the two weakest clubs in SL by some distance.
