I think either its double edged sword so to speak, though winning the last game I do think has much more benefit and importance than playing a young 17 and having more chance of ending the season on a loss.

We will agree to disagree on this one Chris.

To be honest I'm not sure anything would be of much benefit either way

Reading our coach’s appraisal of the Wakey game, he’s trying to rally the troops for one last hoorah, flogging the proverbial dead horse springs to mind.

It was such an underwhelming performance against the pies, realism finally kicked in, even for this old stalwart, the game was up!

Totally agree and although I'll still renew more out of blind loyalty than faith or even hope of anything changing. As you say the Wigan game just hammered the last nail in in what has been a season to forget and I don't think I've ever felt so disconnected from the sport or the club I think all my enthusiasm has pretty much loved off completely.

Can't argue with that. Am hoping we can jiggle with players we have now and bring some new blood in. We will have Macintosh Griffin Swift to come back into the 3/4 Connor FB. If Reynolds is fit him and Sneyd. Shaul could be used of the bench. We need 2 props. But to do that a lot of wheeling and dealing to be done. We live in hope.

Sneyd drops out of the squad for Wakey with Marcus Walker coming in, otherwise the same as last week.

That will probably mean McNamara playing 7, but hopefully give Hookem a run.

Walker is a halfback too I think and was in the 17 earlier in the year so perhaps he will get a run out.

I wasn’t at the game, but I think Marcus played against the Cats in France in the centre, and by the report’s I read he acquitted himself well,

Yes he is a utility back, has played FB, centre and stand off this year for the academy.

I think we may as well blood the youngsters for this one, it will give them good experience and what can we lose? It would be far more demoralising on the team and fans if our strongest possible 17 go there and lose, which is what I'd expect to happen after the recent dross we have witnessed .
