First of all, nice to see some action on this board! Well done Wayne Roberts is class, thats why hes been in the saints first team squad this season, his main problem will be George Whitby looks outstanding at Saints and ahead of him. As you say Briers and Stevens look very good as a young half back partnership, I wish Briers took on the line more as he looks dangerous when he does and the form of Stevens makes it even more bewilding why he wasn't in the team for the first quarter of the season. My daughter has a swimming lesson at 11.45 on sunday, tried to get them to move it earlier with no success so I am probably not going to make it to Whitehaven. The season is so stop and start it makes it hard to get into, I have got a season ticket but have missed more home matches this year already then any season since covid

Met him many times watching Swinton, always a lovely man who had time for a good chat. Will be missed at our level by all supporters

its bad when the trade paper cant get Swinton's kick off time correct, its 2pm for anyone attending with the womens team kicking off at 4.30 against Salford Some cracking games this weekend, I can see Dewsbury winning quite easily but the other will be close. Rochdale, North Wales and hopeully Swinton to win

We seem to be having a big turnover of players on both the womens and mens teams this year, wonder if its a culture thing or just representative of the divisions we are in

Last game I made was Rochdale and I have missed the last two and will miss the next one due to family committments, I did buy a season ticket as I knew I would be missing games though. Glad to see Stevens got a chance and excelled, spoke to the Darts lads to get the heads up and they said the second half was possibily the best half of Rugby we have played this year

I will try and watch the game this week but any win at Keighley is a good win not matter how they are doing in the league

yes official announcement on the website

Quite a few of the lads had already booked flights and accomadation so disappointing

Wow, was going to book next week for the Swinton game, quite a few of my mates are now scrambling for their money back as they had already booked flights and accomodation

I am on holiday, but should be an interesting game with Kilshaw appointed as coach and Hatton playing, hopefully we can stand up to them as they havent had the greatest of starts

An entertaining game, Think Baker made a big difference when he came on. Fitness told in the end, I was stood behind the posts and two telling conversations happened, Baker saying what are we doing to stop them keep scoring from teh scrum on the same side and I think it was MIcky Higham coming on after a try saying, stop kicking it high to the biggest man in rugby league!

if he comes with his championship form then a really good signing, worries me he signed for Rochdale and retired and then signed on for Nort Wales and retired last season. Had a game for St Judes i think this year before he signed for us, we needed a bit more experience since Case and Walker left

I said it would be controversial, I can give up Paga in the halves and put Abram at full back and move up briers, This is the third coach that has discarded Roby, he is undoubtly talented but there must be a reason why every coach has left him out? Might be attitude, we dont see what goes on in training

I tihnk I would go with, Briers Anderson Higham Morgan Sargent Paga Stevens Sidlow Hartill Shingler Rodden Cox Beardsworth Subs A Lynch T Porter T Kelly Duffy ANOTHER - It has been Sinclair but he looked injured on Sunday I know its controversial leaving out Abram and Roby, I want to see other options then Abram and if I was to play him it would be as a sub to cover a number of positions instead of Porter and at the moment althogh Roberts looks solid at the back, Briers seemed to offer more going forward. I don't think Roby is good enough defensively and is too maverick in todays game with his teammates often waiting for the ball while he does his own thing, and he is a penalty machine. I think a lot of people may disagree with me on that player though Out of the young lads, I have been most impressed with Beardsworth, Shingler and Higham up to now and Anderson before weekend but I think he was played out of poisition which made the ommision of Morgan more confusing

Be interesting to see what team comes out, Morgan was free from his ban but didnt play and I tihnk eveyryone agrees our half backs arent clicking
