We need Huddersfield to step up with some quality.
We seem to be getting the
S.hi..t end of the stick in D/R
Nevermind their reserves coming first above us
Unfortunately certain giants player’s come with quite a hefty loan fee.
McGowan,Rodgers and Carr to name just the three,and guess what,surprise surprise they are at Bradford Bulls.

O'Connor is nearing a return, Ronan Dixon should be back for the Fev game along with Dale Ferguson. All three players will strengthen the team.

I see Lewis Carr isn't in the squad again. Injured??
I think he got injured early on at Swinton but not 100% certain.

A home game after three on the road and 3 defeats,last 2 heavy losses.
New coach and what a game for Marchy to start as head coach ,Toulouse. If I’m honest I don’t know what to expect on Saturday,can Paul lift the players ,how will the players respond to his coaching and how he does things. Toulouse have had a mixed start to their season,two wins and four losses,admittedly three of the defeats have come at Sheffield,Bradford and Wakefield.I’ll go.

To be honest I didn’t expect a win yesterday,but I didn’t expect a tonking either. To concede 50 points to a team that in my opinion are going to be down at the bottom end of the table like us is not good. I didn’t go so I can’t really comment on the performance,but the score line tell me everything I need to know. The feedback what I’m getting from the supporters that did go is our fitness and how poor it is. Where’s young Rush from the Giants,anyone know?

If Lewis Carr’s touchdown was ruled out for a forward pass, shouldn’t their second try also been have disallowed?
I’d say so.

Having watched the highlights it was a game of two halves. Conceding four tries in 9 minutes is very poor. A very good second half and scoring some good tries,thought we were unlucky to have the Carr try ruled out. We need to stop the offloads when we’ve got 2 and 3 men in the tackle. Anyway onto the Swinton game,who also like to offload in the tackle.

Turner back in the squad but no Rush again - anyone know why?
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.

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.

Done ankle ligaments apparently.

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.
