What's everyone's thoughts on this week's game 

Do we go with a strong team and try to kick on or do we give game time to the likes off Goulding, oleary, Wilson 

[DavidM]

Always play your strongest team , keep the momentum going , keep working on improving and gelling as a team and put the foot down to put on a big score . It could matter at the end 

[chromedome]

Got my ticket for Sunday's match this morning.......it appears ticket sales are going very well...good to hear.

[Derwent]

Got to put as strong a team as possible out and try to rack up the points.

If Donny win at Barrow then all 3 of us will have the same record of 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. Points difference could be very important by end of the season.

Caine got 1 match for yellow card at Barrow, not sure how a shoulder charge warrants higher disciplinary sanction  than a head shot but there you go!

I guess the upside is this is the game if you’re gonna get a match ban

Totaly agree but shows how poor decisions and stupid sanctions can affect teams.

That’s crazy. Walne had at least 3 head shots any of which he could have been binned for and he gets nothing even though he’s obviously got a seriously dodgy tackling technique. 

[Town Army]

Strongest possible team this week and next then we get a fortnight off because of cup final weekend 

[Hate the rec]

Play the strongest team possible is my view but I think Chris will have to make a few changes due to injuries picked up , Jake looked in a lot of pain on Sunday and Gabe I feel will be rested, commentator said Perry had torn his calf muscle on Saturday in training and not sure if Stevie is right and Caine has received a 1 match ban for his sin binning so think some of the young squad players will be drafted in , I'm sure who ever comes in will do a great job tho .UTT

Is it this week or next though that Caine misses the game... ?

Next week so am told. 
 

I wouldn’t make wholesale changes, but maybe resting a couple of players wouldn’t be a bad idea. 

[Unicorn 106]

Can't believe Caine got a ban for that, Cresta probably went squealing to the authorities again.

[silverfox]

Don't think Chris will be to pleased about Caine's ban  . Jamie gets knocked flat on his back from a high tackle .and does the Barrow player get punished  NO . I look at the Disciplinary every week  . Dangerous contact 0 match  ban . Does the word Dangerous not mean out . I've watch Super league matches and seen Spear tackles high shots .punches you name it  and apart from an odd few it doesn't get to the disciplinary meeting . But If a Town player does out . You know they are getting banned .   Is the Barrow coach on the committee strange we have played them twice this season,  one a friendly  and 3 of our players have received bans . Just a thought . 

[Joe Aitcheson]

Exactly Silverfox, Caine gets a 1 match ban and Walne nothing for far worse…just like in the friendly when we had 2 players banned for nothing! In super league they get away with worse every week, the system stinks, but I’ve been saying that since 1996.  In the Wigan v Warrington match, a Warrington player was “timed out” for taking too long to receive treatment on the pitch, yet Fui received treatment for a cut head for 7 minutes ON the pitch in the Rochdale game. So…. do we all play under the same rules???

[town4me]

Pick strongest team available as we have an opportunity  to boost our Points difference which may be a big factor at the end of the season 

[DavidM]

Yep I’ve give up trying to understand the judiciary . If your in SL doing something just before a big Final you’ll be alright though

Good luck today lads. Everybody  probably be going  expecting a cricket score(going on form). Obviously we are going to score tries, I would like to see our defence not concede today, that would make me more happy than  score 40 or 50 points(although settle with both though lol) think Brad  for 4 tries today, might see couple fresh faces today?

Agree marra,two points no more injuries and a good performance will do me ,utt

[Hate the rec]

Brad for 4,  Marwood for 2, Henson for 2, Clarke for 1, Fitzy for 1, Alex 1 and Carl for 11 goals , that will do for me .

And 0 for them 

UTT

[Rob Nash]

You could do with a big win for points difference.

Barrow and Dons have already played them so I expect PD to be very close between all 3 after today.

[bobg]

This rain is not going to help, although the pitch probably needs it.

[IanMac]

It’s not likely going to be a day for throwing the ball about without making  a few mistakes, and we don’t really have the size to steamroller up the middle, so I’ll take a good performance, as many points as we can get and no injuries. UTT
