Important game this. Big chance to stop the rot. Lose this one and it'll be hard to see where we get another win from this season.

I know.

But if we can't win this one we may as well forget it. Apparently Dunning is down to 18 fit players.

Could do with getting Jowitt back in the side as Lilley is out with an ankle injury.

Assuming Patton is about to receive a lengthy ban for his antics in the Bash game I'd like to see us give Jowitt or Lawford a run in the halves. Is Jowitt fit to start?

Lilley is going to be out for the rest of the season, so they may both end up getting a game together!

Not sure Jowitt will be fit. Patton will be allowed to play this week regardless if he gets a ban. I just pray to god we don't have to go through the pain of seeing Kear at HB.

If Lawford isn't going to get a game when we're at home, with little to play for against the worst team in the league, he might as well leave us now. I'd give Flanagan Jr another run out.

I'd really couldn't care less for a 44-18 win with wingers and loose forwards playing at 6 & 7. I'd rather some of our younger players get run out against fully grown men.

Well Dunning said that after having a scan on the ankle he's seeing the specialist this week. Must say it didn't sound good but there was no mention of him missing the rest of the season.

For me:

Flanagan Jr
Millar
Gill
Kear
Dawson-Jones
Patton
Lawford
Baldwinson
Doyle
Walker
Wallace
England
Hallas

Flanagan Sr
Crossley
England
Academy Player (Ho?)

Flanagan Jr at fullback. Just because he’s actually a Fullback. And at least in attack he’ll give us something. Lawford because he’s actually a halfback and by all accounts has been great for the Academy/Reserves. So give him a chance.

Ho on the bench (unless Scurr is fit). He went on loan early on in the season so lets see what he has learnt and give him 10-15 in the first half and same in the second.

I’ve got to the point where I’m not bothered about the results, seasons done. Let’s see some development so that hopefully these lads get some experience and it benefits them.

I think we will see some young blood this week (well I hope we do). I think MD didn’t want to throw GF jr, Lawford etc in at a derby and summer bash event broadcast on tv knowing it could be too much for them.

Ho is still on loan
