Dog forever 225 Report post Posted April 20 Really looking forward to this one. Was looking at the league table after last night and if we can get a win on Monday the table will look a little rosier. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blind side johnny 4,602 Report post Posted April 20 Don't underestimate this Swinton side - they seem to be playing a better brand of footbal this season and have been scoring freely. They may have been favourites to go down before the start of the season (I was one who tipped them to do so) but they are no longer anybody's pushover. Should be a good game.

Dog forever 225 Report post Posted April 20 Maybe it is because they have a lot of sl dual reg players in the team. Think they are dr with saints. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could be wrong but I thought they were dual registered with Wigan, as part of the Hankinson deal? Saints are with Leigh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dog forever 225 Report post Posted April 20 Feeling confident about this one after last night. Up hill first half then batter them down hill second half. It will be more energy sapping running up the hill if it's as hot as today. So doggie 30 lions 12 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RogerT 1,045 Report post Posted April 21 If it is warm as this tomorrow and all the stamina taken out of the lads on Friday, I can see a hard slog and not many points in it, but I'll go for a Batley win if even by 1 point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phildog 579 Report post Posted April 21 Scott, Rettie, Wood, Galbraith, Campbell, Jouffret, Brambani, Gledhill, Leak, Ward, Downs, Brown, Brearley. Going for power from the off, try to subdue them early, then let Everett and Joe and Lewis take over, Butterworth to spell Leaky with similar effect .

Personally don’t think you can leave Smeaton out after Friday. Had probably his best game this season and helped Dom defensively when Dewsbury tried to get Ryder to run at Dom. Then one of Brev or Brierley to miss out in the second row. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
