Full video is on the Halifax channel. You could definitely feel the impact of the pitch dimensions when watching the game back. There is just no space out wide so you can condense your defensive line and really reduce the metres of the average carry. I'm a big Aldridge fan but he really struggled in his only stint in the first 15 mins with his passing. He's still very young for a hooker but when Wildie comes back I think we're going to go to another level. O'Keefe is a quality player, just needs game time.

Crucial win but a very average performance. Felt we should have controlled that game when we were 13 points in front on two separate occasions but some poor errors and terrible refereeing kept letting them back in the game and by the end we were really hanging on. Farnworth, Pellisier and O'Keefe were excellent. Farnworth was great off the bench was easily our best forward. Pellisier continues to be fantastic off the bench and made a crucial break to set up a try straight after half time. O'Keefe looked excellent considering he has barely played this season and both in attack and defence had plenty of impact.

Don't agree at all with that. Barrow we essentially didn't have our best 7 players available. Think the only change will be Musgrove out and Forster/Baxter coming onto the bench. I'd go: PLT, Mo, Johnson, Davies, Pons, Craven, Drinkwater, Jay, Bailey, Hirst, Ashurst, Lannon, Milner. subs: Farnworth, Ted, Pellisier, Forster/Baxter. Can't wait for this game. Wish it was being played at the Shay as that's one of my favourite away grounds but I think this will be a cracking game. If Mo is struggling then maybe Johnson to wing and O'Keefe into the centres. Halifax are missing a couple of their best players in Woodburn-Hall and Johnson who had a stormer in the reverse fixture but have a few forwards available who they've really missed. Oldham by 6.

Brilliant news. He has been absolutely superb this season.

Agree with all of the above. Such a frustrating loss as I felt we were right in the game but some really poor mistakes and our inability to defend them cost us hugely. They are a very disciplined side and just wear you down with their fitness and combined with the ridiculous heat those last two tries blew out the score. Really thought we were going to win at 14-8 when we were a had a spell on their line but we just didn't do enough at the time and then they scored off a kick to take the game away from us. Thought the pack was great. Hirst has been phenomenal since starting at prop. Ted and Zane off the bench were superb as usual but I thought the stand out was Pellisier off the bench. Absolute dynamite out of dummy half but we really need to support him. He had 4 or 5 key runs and not one player went with him in the second half. Unfortunately thought DC had a bit of a nightmare. Gave away numerous penalties and looked really slow with the ball. Thought PLT got a bit of schooling from Ashall-Bott on how to play at full back as he was unreal. The errors from Pons and Mo were very costly in the first half and we really need to cut those unforced errors out of own game. Lots of positives still but I do think we are probably 4th or 5th best in the league which I would have snatched your hand off for before the start of the season. Massive game next week against Fax.

I'd go PLT, Mo, Johnson, Davies, Pons, Craven, Drinkwater, Jay, Aldridge, Hirst, Ashurst, Lannon, Milner. subs:Ted, Pellisier, Zane, Farnworth Think this might be a cracking game although the heat is going to be a massive factor. Think we've got the pack to match them but their back three worries me especially away from home as they can score from anywhere. Wouldn't be surprised to see Elijah in the team and just let him tackle everything but the pack has been outstanding the last two games and Farnworth has been superb out on dual reg. I reckon we can win this. They are a very disciplined and fit team as they showed in the reverse fixture but I think we look a lot stronger now than six weeks ago .Oldham by 2.

He's a class player and should be starting for us every week. Much better at Loose Forward though than at prop

Jay, Ted,, Drinky, PLT and Lannon superb as well

First half was absolutely outstanding. Complete domination right from the first whistle until the hooter. I think we've found the balance of the team now with Craven and Drinky in the halves. Pellisier has been a revelation off the bench and Zane has been excellent but the two quieter signings in Davies and Lannon have been superb and really changed our season. Second half we understandably turned the energy down and hopefully the couple who came off were precautionary. Don't like to say it but I thought Hunslet were absolutely terrible. Jowitt was good as was their 25 at loose forward. George Hirst was phenomenal a prop. Hunslet simply couldn't cope with his physicality. Craven was brilliant at stand off as was Drinkwater. If we play it smart with these two in terms of resting them I think we can have a great end to the season. Thought PLT was great again as well focusing mainly down the middle and let the halves control the ball. The rest of the team was great as well.

Sounds like Johnson will be playing and we're being cautious with Mo and not pushing his injury which makes sense with a few weeks off to fully recover that muscle injury. I'd go: PLT, Johnson, Dean, Davies, Pons, Craven, Drinkwater, Jay, Aldridge, Hirst, Ashurst, Lannon, Milner. subs: Ted, Pellisier ,Musgrove, Dudson. Feel confident on this one if we maintain the standards shown last week. Looking at the Hunslet team they have some handy players but across the squads we have the stronger team and we should be going there and showing our quality. Oldham by 14.

Absolutely terrible squad management. Lawton, Moran and Farnworth should be in our team every week if fit. All should be in our starting side never mind the 17. Forster makes sense to dual reg as he's very talented but needs to play every week. Really hope we don't lose any of these players who were so good for us last year just so we can sign more 35+ aged players.
