Dave K.:

Very interesting game, they have to big favorites, but think we have a chance, them losing last week could go either way, slight loss of confidence or a big performance on the rebound. 


I actually think Lewis going off worked against us last time, a lot of our plans would have been to stop him.


Balmforth is fit has to come in for Moy, Rapana although has errors has a a lot of plus points, he make yards, tackles well and has an assist in him, he needs to cut out those errors, same for Ashworth, whose poor discipline could have cost us the game, we can't afford that against Rovers.


Think we have to split up Knight and Ese Ese, always have one of them on, with a couple of 10 minutes spells with them both on.


Eseh is strange one, Cartwright obviously doesn't fully trust him, giving him the last 5 mins, when the game was gone, be nice to have Fash or Watts back. Think the same applies to Salabio, both are raw with potential, but not quite ready.


No Mccllorum means maybe 80 minutes for Litten, which reduces his impact, we have to get at him with the forwards and tire him out.


Seen a lot of slander towards JWH, who has been solid at best and his stats back that up, but do reckon he is a good signing, probably an impact like Pritchard was for us in 2016.


Lastly, was wrong about Pryce and Cust last week, for now they have to be 1 and 6, gives us threat and balance.


Whatever happens, to think we could be top this week if we win, is bonkers, not had an easy run in either with 5 away games and 2 at home, could easily be joint top if that Briscoe call had gone our way against Leigh, what amazing job Thirkill, Myler and coaching staff have done.
