I think we'll almost certainly lose Jamie Cording, which is kind of ironic seeing as he's probably the worst out of the four, that's not to say he's a bad player. Fingers crossed about the other three.

Losing Kyle would be the biggy. Hopefully, we won't lose any - BTW thought Jamie had his best game for us so far. If needs be Cottle & Hanson would fill in ok, Eddie would be a more than capable addition to the 17 and, although not ideal, Smithy could step in as cover in the haves & at hooker.

As regards Dane - I thought his tackling was awesome & he took his try superbly.

Batley are looking a blooming good side this year, but do blow hot & cold. We'll just have to go with what we've got & not underestimate them, despite them playing Dews on Thursday.

watched crookes against dewsbury, a kid without alot of potential

Neither Crookes or Finigan in the Bulls squad for monday, Gaints haven't released thier squad for Monday yet.

Theyre playing tuesday night, Wood and Cording arent available

Have a feeling they all maybe recalled for the challenge cup,Dont want to sound like holloway (Sorry for football ref

) but i would rest a few keymen

for the saints game.League the priority.

Jamie Cording scored for Huddersfield on Monday.

Kyle Wood played as well. Hopefully for us, just their squad rotation in action.

I reckon they will be back with us, although Brownie & Potter may cup-tie them, but they should be available for the Leigh game.

Bear in mind that the Easter games are thought of more as 3 games in 8/9 days & Brown tends to rotate his squad a fair bit (and occaisionally back-fires on him: Crusaders on Friday & Salford last season).

Hmmmm. Every time they play three games in 8/9 days then ?

Bit strange isnt it really,Out of the pair of dual regs id take the Bradford pair over the Huddersfield pair,Yet Huddersfield who are top often call there players back but Bradford who are near the bottom dont call there players back

i am a Hudds supporter without dought Wood and Cording are better long term prospects Crooks and Finningan are good solid players but i dont think they can make the step up unlike the other two, just my opinion though rumours around Hudds is that a number of Super League clubs are looking at Wood as his opportunities at Hudds are going to be limited as there is Brough and Brown in front of him (when he as played he as played at Hooker)

Wood is the better player out of the four,But was just being hypothetical and if forced would have the Bradford pair (it wont ever happen)Cording hasnt been brilliant for us but seems as though he revels in playing in super league,Bit weird really.

What the chuff are you on about?

This ....

Yes, thursday or good Friday game, then Easter Monday with the following weekend's game being considered the toughest.

E.g. Widnes played Halifax on Thursday, Barrow on Easter Monday & Toulouse last night. That's 3 games in 8 Days!

Huddersfield lost against Crusaders - a game they were expected to win. The same happened last season at Salford.

So what's your f###### problem!?!

Woody is a very good halfback and could easily play SL in my opinion, I think he'd walk into a lower end team such as Salford for example, no disrespect. I've not been overly impressed by Cording to be fair but maybe he's not really interested in playing for us, who knows.

I disagree that Crookes and Finigan can't make the step up, Finigan scored four tries on his Bradford debut and was pretty unplayable for us against Batley last weekend. Crookes also having a very good season with us, scoring regularly.

Just wondering how occasional every year is.

Just making the comparison between this season and last season where Brown's rotation tactics (including recalling dual-reg players; trying to keep it on the subject) seemed to come unstuck.

I am allowed to express an opinion on here or is this the Total RL site?

Whatever.

You either take the point or you don't. It's not important.

I wish you would have a few of our players rather than us helping Widnes out all the time.

I agree Nathan, can we have Sam Tomkins please?

Haha yeah sure.

It would be great to get some players of the calibre that Wigan must have in the wings.

I guess travel to Widnes is easier for them for training etc.

Saying that though - more than happy with the ones we have.
