Dewsbury Rams. : Tue May 04, 2021 1:05 pm  

Off to Rams Stadium this Sunday for the next encounter in what happens next. I don't expect anything other than a Fax win but I wouldn't be at all surprised with another Fax defeat. We shall see.

unless we dramatically improve i can only see another defeat here by about 14 points.But if we do perform for 80 minutes it will still be a hard game but we are more than capable of wining. I would put moore on the bench and start with bourouh and give the arm band to fairbank if fit but i cant see that happening. Also if we had other options at halfback i would make changes there too. If we do lose on sunday how much longer can the board justifie not sacking grix i have already lost patience and want the board to act while there is still time to save the season

Two points here. 1) How SG chose Moore to be captain is a mystery to me, I agree I would give it to Fairbank. 2) The season as far as winning the league or having a cup run is over already.

Obviously haven't seem the team yet but on current form, and I hope I am dead wrong, I'll go for Dewsbury by 6 to 8 points and another re brand to Pants Here R Us.

I'd settle this week for a deadly boring win, 5 drives and a kick with any football played in their 25. It's a very small field so it doesn't take too much to get from one end to another, with confidence at a low ebb if they start trying to chuck it around in our half I can only see more mistakes, and the chance for their halves to do some damage. I would keep Barber at centre as they have a couple of big centres , if fit would definitely start Fairbank, with Larroyer and Hewitt in second row. Would still start with Moore, but as had been said by others, bring him off when borough comes on . Finally - we will undoubtedly have some possession near their line - both half backs supported by Jwh need to take control and really challenge the defence.

What i meant by saving the season was a top six finish if you can get in the playoffs and it form at the right time anything can happen miracles do happen hudds

Agreed.

We now need to be realistic, it seems strange having a must win game so early in the season but that is where our horrible start has left us. We lose this and sad as it is we are actually in a relegation battle rather than looking at the play offs. If we lose the board has to act and we need to look to bring an experienced coach in.

But the question is will they act if we lose the impression i get is everything will sort it self out there's no need to panic were i see it as the exact opposite

Looks a strong squad - glad to see Fairbank back but bit disappointed to see Springer omitted as he can bring some real impact off the bench. I know he's a big bloke but he doesn't look particularly fit to me and only able operate in very short bursts something which may well count against him with Grix.
