andyram Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 First of three games we should be good enough to win and putting Whitehaven out of their misery and saying hello to league one. Should we stick with the team who played well against the Bulls or bring back the players available again ? Rams 30-16 Whitehaven,attendance 732.

Still you have been watching a decent team quite a lot this season I couldn't do any worse lol I bumped into tom lillycrop last night and had a natter What a thoroughly lovely lad Always been a fan and always will be now... Top bloke Monday they played with enthusiasm.. And I think introducing players who were out thru their own discretions Would be harsh on the other lads that played.

Wilsden Ram Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Speakman was knocked out at the end on Monday, so probably will have to miss Sunday. Walshaw Etu and Sykes will return - in my opinion of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crown Flatter Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I wouldn't change a winning team, but I reckon WR is correct and we may see some returning to the side. Agree with Coolie, if it's not brok, don't mend it! Legs, Dews, Legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham fisher Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I think they will be changes Sunday as a few players played that maybe shouldn't have,i was talking to a couple of them after game that where carrying knocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind side johnny Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I wouldn't change a winning team, but I reckon WR is correct and we may see some returning to the side. Agree with Coolie, if it's not brok, don't mend it! Yep, as long as the players aren't broke, and a couple of them are. Rob Spicer really shouldn't play in consecutive matches at present and Lucas Walshaw needs to get more used to the team structure in time for next season. I would prefer to give Donald another run out, in preference to Etu and Hemingway might be back in contention given Speakman's injury.

Grady will only be picked if no-one else is available. All the rest would be fine with me but with the addition of Conroy if he is fit. Hemingway will be back in the equation too.

christheram Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Why wouldn't Grady be picked?? If joining Halifax is the reason then fair enough but nobody can question his effort last week. If it's a case of not playing the leaving players then Farrell and Groat won't feature too?? I don't know the situation with Grady joining Halifax but clearly Morro wasn't happy on the radio the other week with the Halifax club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the situation with Grady joining Halifax but clearly Morro wasn't happy on the radio the other week with the Halifax club Grady has a long-standing shoulder injury. I understand that if it gets further injured whilst playing for us then the liability for medical treatment is ours, hence a reluctance to play him. It isn't that the club has fallen out with him, just a pragmatic stance. However, given the importance of this result to our place in the play-offs I might be completely wrong and he may be picked - who knows?

the old nine ole Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 If we are as serious about the shield as GM says ..... then we must pick our strongest team available and should take Whitehaven very very seriously ....... there is no room for complacency in the camp!! Squad just announced ... no Sykes, Speakman or Spicer! So for me Glover at 6 ... Hemmingway and Conroy sharing 9 .. and Walshaw back in the pack .... I would also prefer Eto to Donald K on the wing Probably Donald and Teanby .. left out .. although I would prefer to see Jack in the 17! A place in the shield final would be very welcome!!

Wakefield Ram Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 If we win the last three games then we would have Halifax away in the semi I think, so still a chance of making the final. Sykes took a knock against Halifax and came off at half time, so maybe being given an extra week off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blind side johnny Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Has Skyes been left out for Glover?? Maybe sign of the times for 2017. As well as his suspension Sykes also went off injured at half time at Halifax so may still be carrying an injury. I reckon he would be in the centres if fit.

But it is the rfl were talking about.I would like to think that with the likelihood of a halifax vs Bradford final..Huddersfield would have been considered as a logical choice Logic and the rfl are never good bedfellows..

As we know Cost and availability come into it. Widnes doesn't host a Championship soccer club for one. And venues need to be booked well in advance, not waiting to find out who has qualified. I reckon they will switch it to the home of the highest placed team before long - less cost and probably a better gate.
