Blind side johnny Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I confess that I shall be giving this trip a miss. The NW isn't always the most attractive of journeys and, given the current weather combined with the limited cover at the ground I will be leaving it to hardier souls. LG has already said that a couple of squad players will be getting a run out and he has also stated quite firmly that the league is his outstanding priority this season. In other words there might be a strong chance of a win for 'Haven, so the attractions of the journey diminish by the minute. I will be confident however and predict: Haven 14 - 17 Rams Att 650 Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

Crown Flatter Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 As he gets older, BSJ’s firm belief that winter rugby is the best, diminishes somewhat, don’t you think. Legs, Dews, Legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crown Flatter Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Here are Sunday’s 21 man squads: https://www.rugby-league.com/match_preview/126224 Speakman’s ban must start next week (as BSJ suggested), meaning he will not play against his home town club. There could be five changes to the team that heat Halifax. Legs, Dews, Legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creditwhereitsdews Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Tough one to predict as there are a few unknown quantities in the squad but going on current team spirit, I will go for a Dewsbury win.

After seeing the pitch at the Recre last week and the rain we’ve had this week I’m not surprised. A farmer would be proud of the furrowed pitch.

Certainly it would be easier to rearrange the Oldham game for a midweek kick off but they may have difficulty getting an appropriate date. Stalybridge Celtic are still pushing for a play-off spot in their league so wouldn't want their pitch cutting up even more than normal (I understand the lack of logic in this but soccer clubs are very sensitive about the effect of RL on their grounds). Todays CC draw might make the result of the Haven game more, or less, important.

Crown Flatter Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I was thinking it would be midweek and would rule this Tuesday/Wednesday as the pitch is still likely to be unplayable. Legs, Dews, Legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midweek in Cumbria with players having to take time off from work? Might as well relinquish the tie!

Was hard work last night and got to concentrate on Oldham for me. Id rest Sykes and Knowles, maybe even Sam Day, who had cramp towards the end and then Adam Ryder. Like to see Morgan and Brierley given a run out anyway. who else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be quite a few bosses who will simply refuse the request for time off and broken time payments are very much a thing of the past.
