Seems like some of their top guys are out of action. http://www.thestar.co.uk/rugbyleague/Eagles-face-injury-crisis.5260247.jp

Could this be Aston trying to play a little bit of mind games?
We would have to put some kind of game plan together to try neutralise the threat of Groom (same as other teams would for Ben Black).

Bit ultimately it will take more than mind games to stop this Fax team right now.
Interesting to see how their new PNG forward goes

Hunslet played the PNG international card as well and wasn't impressed then either.

Strongly suspect the Groom being very doubtful bit is a ruse but we should have more than enough to get the job done

That's exactly how it came across to me as well.

I noticed that they also referred to our stadium as "The New Shay"! Cue venomous rhetoric from FCHT fans, should they happen to read it.

Not our fault, guys. Honest.

Agreed Aston likes mind games so i wouldnt read too much into this.

Yes, mind games but they didn't work on Rob W!

They've re-signed Danny Mills on a months loan from Widnes, maybe it could be what it seems.

Problem with targetting RW is you have to catch him first.

Think the Hunslet game was those PNG Players' first for the club, now they've settled theyre meant to be doing ok according to reports, piece in the League Express was about how Hunslet are been urged by their supporters to get them signed for another year.
