Fax (H) : Tue Jun 21, 2016 10:09 am  

Discuss the match and avoid slagging each other off here.

Big test for us I think, especially with our continued trouble creating in attack. I'll be submerged in mud at Glastonbury so will be checking for updates.

Hopefully we get some bodies back. Thomas, Addy and Ferguson would all give us a boost.
As usual there's no injury news from the club so we're only guessing, but hopefully Clark is ok to play.

Rohan seems reluctant to do it but I'd like to see Clare move to centre with either Caro or Ryan outside him. All three of Batley's tries came down Walshaw's flank so I guess it's either second row or nothing for him.

Be a tough game, seem to struggle vs Fax as they up their game and play with real intensity which we seem to lack.

Strong squad should be avaiable (not heard anything much about Clark id rest him if 50/50 for leigh) really need to start well and hit them hard play with a big squad and Thomas/Charnock in the halves should give us some creativity, need to have a good showing especially with Leigh the week after two huge games in 2 weeks.

Thing the players prefer to play away from Odsal as the atmosphere is flat compared to away, need to get behind them but we need them to show us something to get behind last few home games we have been dire and nothing has sparked the fans into voice.

Big possitive is our goal line defence which i think has impreved greatly but we are still crap in open field with broken runners can seem to make a decison was very evident on sunday when we where borken we had bodies back but they didnt seem like making a tackle just tracked the player and they made a lot of meters that way.

Well we haven't beaten Fax in our last 3 attempts and have been out enthused in every one. If we win this one i think it will secure our top 4 spot. (providing we don't have a repeat of the Dewsbury cock-up against Haven or Oldham) So as we never make it easy for ourselves, i'm going for a fax win!!

All about attitude for me. Come out firing. Hit Richard Moore and Scott Murrell just as hard as they hit us, and i think we have that little more quality to sneak. Won't be much in it though.

I'd rather nothing, the bloke is rubbish. Only thing he's half useful for is having the height on people to try and get to high bombs first. His defence is poor for a centre, never mind a second row.

I too would like to see Clare at centre. If Caro isn't fit, put Ryan on the wing.

We desperately need one or both of Thomas and Addy back I think for this game, otherwise I can't see us having much chance.

I think Walshaw could probably do a job at second row. Remember that he hasn't been playing at all this season up until this week, so he can't be anywhere near match fit. Last season when he got a bit more game time he actually did ok, albeit in the pack. He got the motm away to Dewsbury iirc.
Having said that, I'm pretty sure his contract is up at the end of this season and I don't think he'll be offered a new deal.

Not sure I'd go along with that.

We're not going to catch Leigh in the league but Fax could overtake us, which makes the Fax game the most important, imo. If Clark is fit enough to play then his aggression and spirit will be missed it it's not there and the result is important.

Think Walshaw had forgotten how to play RL since it was that long since he's got a game. Defence was awful.

Clark would be a big miss. When's Kavanagh expected back?

I think Clare is best on the wing.

Think we have put ourselves in the position where we cannot afford any more slip ups. Therefore we need to play our strongest team each week and let the following week look after itself.
