So onto Whitehaven Batley go at the weekend, now I never know whether there nickname is Jam Eaters or Marra's.
I understand the old Woodman away bus isn't going so it looks like the support for the lads will be a bit lacking. I particularly don't want to listen to the very biased radio commentary.
Aren’t they running buses from the Victoria pub Carlinghow now?

Thought O’Connor,Turner and Rush were big losses for us,especially in the kicking game. Widnes were nothing special in my opinion,their bench made a difference,especially Fozard who caused us plenty of problems. I still believe that this team can get enough wins for us to avoid relegation,but we’ll see. Anyway we go on the road now for our next 3 games so we’ll see where we are at the end of the month.

Officials for sunday
- Referee: M. Lynn
- Reserve Referee: J. Collier
- Touch Judge 1: P. Brooke
- Touch Judge 2: L. O'brien
- Time Keeper: G. Kershaw
Personally I've not heard of this referee,but it's not about the officials it's about us. Another tough game but it's one I think we can win,but to do so I think we'll have to up our performance from last week against Batley. Will we go with the same team as last week or will we restore Restall to full back
In the past we've moaned about chopping and changing the side other than for injuries or suspensions. For me personally I'd stick with the same team.

Scrum half or stand off?
I saw a short video clip of the Giants A team against London and he seems to prefer playing a little wider, so stand off would probably be best. Maybe with Hookem at hooker as well. Looking at the 21 that has been listed Dale will have some interesting decisions to make.I’d put him at stand off. Hookem at hooker and with Dixon back from suspension that will give us more power in the forwards. Restall back to fullback with O’Connor back in centre.

Have you had lots of injuries to the original members of your squad this season?
Not that I’m aware of. I don’t like DR but there are bigger clubs than us with bigger budgets that are hooking up with clubs so why not us. Due to Dale been very poorly in the off-season our preparation and recruitment was disrupted so Dale probably asn’t seen enough of some players just to throw them in,we could get away with it last season in league one but not in the championship. Anyway with a bit of luck we can get one or two players in on long term loans,especially Rush.

Is Sykesy still suspended? We seemed to do OK without him against Halifax
No,he served his suspension against York and Halifax. I’d start with Rush in the halves.

No injuries apparently. Rather depressingly he simply wasn’t picked.
I heard different,I suppose it depends who you talk to.

Hooray it’s the start of the league season and first up is Halifax. We will need to improve hell of a lot to what we’ve seen against Keighley,Bradford and York to get anything from this game. I’ve heard over the weekend that Huddersfield are sending some players our way,as we will be without Ronan Dixon and Paul Sykes I think we’ll need them. As we’ve all seen on another post everyone is tipping us to finish bottom and what I’ve seen so far I can’t argue with that.

Maybe York are likely to not bring many is that there is no concession for OAPs
Is there a reason why concessions are not available?
Spare a thought for me and anyone else that’s in a similar position. After following the club from been a little lad I was eligible for a concession this season only for the club to do away with it. But like Crown Flatter says I can understand as probably 80%+ of our supporters are concessions,which is sad really.

Any pack would struggle with half baked half backs. The truth is that there is about five players capable of playing at this level.
Bang on,I said this in our last game of the season at Doncaster.

After Fergie admitted to having the 'right sort of headache', what would your selection look like for Sunday @ Keighley ?? here's my stab at it:
Restall: Carr - Greensmith - O'Connor - Whiteley : Sykes - Turner : Beckett - Davies - Hird - Garside - Graham - Dawson (or Collinson)
Bench: Hookem : Dixon : Morris : Dawson / Collinson
Hopefully that's good enough to get us our first win in 2024.
I’d go along with that,but unfortunately I think Carr will be missing as he did his hamstring in the warm up on Sunday. Don’t think it’s serious though

From the 20 players named, I think this might be the selection today:
1 Calum Turner
2 Lewis Carr
3 Bailey O’Connor
4 Ollie Greensmith
5 Perry Whiteley
6 Jacob Hookem
7 Marcus Walker
8 Jimmy Beckett
9 Curtis Davies
10 Ronan Dixon
11 Brad Graham
12 Bailey Dawson
13 Louis Collinson
14 Joe Hird
15 Jackson Walker
16 Elliot Morris
17 Joel Russell
plus Travis Corion, Dom Newton, Jack Briggs.
Rested? Owen Restall, Paul Sykes, Matt Garside. No place again for Harry Copley,will he ever play for us?
It looks like Huddersfield will be playing a mixture of first choice regulars, fringe lads and some I have not come across before.
The visitors will still be too powerful for us (like last year).
Dewsbury 10-48 Huddersfield
FTS: Hookem
MoM: Turner
Att: 1201
Hookem and O'Connor in the halves.

Last pre season game this coming Sunday against Huddersfield before we go into the serious stuff. Fergie's last chance to have a look at the players and see what his squad will be for the Keighley Cup game the week after. Not seen Giants squad for the so hard to make any predictions,either way I hope we go easy on them

Didn’t go to the game so only the highlights to go on. Scored 3 nice tries through backing up so that’s a positive for me.
And with a penalty count of 6-5 it looks like we might have mastered the heart of playing the ball with our feet as well,that’s definitely a positive

He was in our squad last year against Huddersfield,he was on loan.

Heartbreaking for the Andy and the family. Known Tracy for a many years,standing on the terraces of old crown flatt with her and her mum, who used to do the players wages and her late dad,who used to be part of the old committee. You'll certainly be missed around the club. Rip lovely lady xxx

I’m not blaming the referee as he was following directives from them above,overall I thought Chris Kendall had a decent game. What worried me more than anything is our inability at playing the ball,you’d have thought we’d have learnt after the referee had penalised us 3 or 4 times
Apparently two referees have been to Batley training sessions going through the rule changes,

Maybe Rush’s injury is worse than they thought. Biggest surprise is the inclusion of Brad Graham. I’d start with Beckett and Dixon at prop to hopefully put on front foot.
