marklaspalmas Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 16 wins out of 17 in the league now, and just four fixture left. Competition for places is as tough as it's been for some time. From our current 28 man squad, we know we will be without Harrison and Day all year, with Minns and Bussey maybe till the playoffs. Moors has missed two matches now and Koppy three. Perhaps they will be back soon. Hardcastle and Chizz were rested and presumably are good to return. So, once again, some big decisions of who plays with one eye on the run-in to the season's finale. https://www.fevarchive.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marklaspalmas Posted August 25, 2021 Author Share Posted August 25, 2021 Forgot about Sutcliffe again. Nothing personal Alex! We haven't heard anything since he signed. https://www.fevarchive.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentoffagain2 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I would rest Chizzy for a further week and maybe give Locky a rest.He has been a bit quiet after the first 20 min in the last couple of weeks.Hope the new baby is not giving him sleepless nights.If we can keep them fit Koppy.Fergy,and Springer will cause defences trouble.Often takes 3 tacklers to stop them so with a quick play the ball defences may get stretched,allowing Jones or Parata room down the middle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Horseman Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 On social media it's been stated that winning this game would "mathematically lock in at least a 2nd placed finish", am not sure that's correct, I reckon Halifax could still theoretically pip us if we lost our last 3 games and they won theirs, but they would need a huge points difference swing so it's a moot point especially as you'd need to be an arch pessimist to see that happening. But anyway...Oldham seem to have improved a lot since Brian McDermott arrived, they pushed London, Sheffield and Whitehaven all the way, drew with Swinton and then produced what has been described as their best effort of the season against Toulouse last time, "only" losing by 34-6 and holding Toulouse scoreless for almost the final half hour. We'll still be strong favourites and rightly so though. Presumably there might be a bit more squad rotation, especially if Moors or Koppy is available, I agree that giving Locky a rest prior to the big clash with Halifax might be a sound move.

Yes. The real question is whether Kopczak, Chisholm and Hardcastle return, and if so, who for? https://www.fevarchive.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still don't know why Kopczak has been out (and if it's for Covid reasons, that's fine that we don't know), nor do we know Webbo's pecking order in a few positions. Probably unhelpful to speculate about the 17 given there has been a fair bit of resting/rotation going on, and might continue to be this weekend.

Phil Briscoe Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Very difficult to say as I’ve no idea which of the players are actually fit for selection. An assumption that they all are is clearly a flawed one. If they were all fit I’d certainly have a stab at a 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marklaspalmas Posted August 27, 2021 Author Share Posted August 27, 2021 As has been noted, we don't know what Webbo is doing with resting/rotating. What we do know is: He's named 6 three-quarters. 4 will play. He's named 3 halfbacks. 2 will play. He's named 9 middles and second-rowers. 8 will play. Four to miss out? My wild guess is Doyle, Hardo/Welham, Chizz another week's rest, and Koppy from the forwards. https://www.fevarchive.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd think similar, other than possibly Doyle in for Blackmore if his groin is still giving him issues (noting I'm thinking back a couple of weeks here).

haskey Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 WEbster has done a great job with his resources so far this season. So I say he will pick the team he feels will carry on the good work he has already done so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably correct though, hopefully it's just a niggle that we have taken no chances with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
