With respect, this is the kind of overblown fearmongering rubbish we usually get from the mass media, and which you appear to be swallowing without question. Current ONS stats (link provided) offer clarification (and perspective) re the actual numbers. Meanwhile NHS waiting lists are conservatively estimated to be at around the 13 million mark and climbing, and heaven knows how many of those may be critical. That's what you get for slavishly embracing the restrictions and continuing to peddle the fear-porn. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/articles/coronaviruscovid19latestinsights/hospitals#hospital-admissions 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The young can also get Long Covid, which affects about 1 in 8. But hey, let's ignore that because we want to watch some rugby. Nobody is ignoring the fact that anyone can catch and suffer from Covid, all we're saying is the 'risk' to young fit men, even if they are unlucky enough to catch it in the first place, is vanishingly low. But hey let's accuse me of caring more about watching a rugby game than people's lives - a low blow I would suggest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phantom Horseman Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 3 hours ago, The Phantom Horseman said: my wild guess at what the 17 might look like based on what we know plus a lot of total guesswork: Hall, Hardcastle, Gale, Chisholm, Kopczak, Brown, Harrison, Ferres, Lockwood, Davies, Cooper, Field, Sweeting, Summers, McConnell, Spence plus one other...maybe Doyle barring a surprise return for Welham? back to the game...18-man squad named and looks like the 18 names above were a very lucky guess. Welham a very welcome return if he's playing, and can't see why they would name him unless he's water boy. https://twitter.com/FevRoversRLFC/status/1416050007057342470/photo/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Horseman Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 So if Welham is fit, possible line-up would be... Hall Gale Hardcastle Welham Doyle Brown Chisholm Kopczak Davies/Sweeting Lockwood Ferres Davies/Field McConnell subs Sweeting/Field Cooper Harrison Spence for me I'd go with Sweeting at 9 as he's a recognised hooker and Jonny D is far more valuable in the back row, but that's just my opinion. Think we might start Harrison on the bench and then come on to play big minutes, we don't want Koppy, Locky and Harrison all off the field at the same time.

elppaxr2i Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 A stronger 17 than i thought it was going to be with room for posistional rotation! i think locky could be used as an extra prop as well so might go with field / davies / mcconnell for example in the back row What a strange 24hrs - barely had a team yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Horseman Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 York look to be missing a few - Ryan Atkins isn't in their squad, no Baldwinson, James Green, Riley Dean, Liam Salter from what I can see. They've got Cuthbertson back and Mikey Lewis from Hull KR who is a livewire. Still, looking at our team, it does look potentially less weak than most of us thought, especially if Welham is genuinely ok to play and not just in as 18th man, because that would free up John Davies to play elsewhere. I'm back to fancying us quite strongly again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tms Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I think Kris W will be playing otherwise just go with 17 on the wing Jacob D or Harvey S Jake S at hooker Callum F in 2nd row subs James H John D and Luke C and Joe S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phantom Horseman Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Fev now giving away 8 points on the handicap with SkyBet. Think it was 20 earlier in the week. I think we might cover that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Horseman Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Chisholm at 11-8 to score any time looks a fair bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No hard feelings mate. No hard feelings at all my friend, and agreed re tomorrow, which now looks a little more positive (pun intended) in view of the squad we've named. Interesting to see Welham is suddenly available again, just in time for a run out at Wembley, unless he's one of our usual named decoys....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
