marklaspalmas Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Job done in Workington. The sick list is looking a bit long though. Koppy's knee, Jesse's shoulder, THREE hamstrings, whatever's keeping Doyle out of contention, Ferres hasn't played yet this season, Mathiou still not ready and Jacks in Australia. That's nine players out of 28. Lets hope at least a couple of them could make the squad v London. The Broncos have started poorly, so we'll be big favourites to win. Conditions underfoot and the weather may well dictate things again on Saturday. https://www.fevarchive.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Slater Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 A comfortable win with all the expected fringe players getting a game will do for me, rather than a huge score. Oh! and no further injuries or cards. I wouldn't rule out using D/R, as Rhinos are playing Friday, if it gave key players like Bussey a well earned rest?

Robin Evans Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 30 points in it.... even if its wazzin down. I'm going out on a limb here..... I'm not convinced London will complete the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza77 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Looking at the forecast earlier, I'd suggest a win, no injuries and not getting hypothermia would be a result.

A well earned rest after three games of the season . I think some people just think we turn up and win these sort of games easily . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but it doesn’t work like that thankfully because we've been to team's over the years expecting to lose and we've won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marklaspalmas Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 Well, I think with the squad we've got, we have a lot of options without bothering with the disruption of DR. Lets imagine a (worst case) scenario where we face London with: Koppy, JSL, Hardo, Joey & Gilly plus Doyle on the treatment table. Jacks still in Oz, and Mathiou still getting up to speed. Ferres (rumoured to be on the outer), Chizz with his thigh, and for example Bussey all rested too. Even if all those players didn't play, we could still put out a 17 that looks like this. 1. Pickers 2. LB 3. Hally 4. Hellewell 5. Gaga 6. Sherlock 7. Smithy 8. Locky 9. Wildie 10. Coops 11. Moors 12. JD 13. Trout 14. Jones 15. Field 16. Cuthbertson 17. McConnell And that is a very strong line up that can do for London. 1 https://www.fevarchive.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phantom Horseman Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 London haven't scored a point in their last two games and have injury issues of their own. Strange things can happen in RL, but everything points to a comfortable Fev win with the weather being the possible fly in the ointment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashmon Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 As a London fan here in peace, the only open question we have on Sat, is will London score, or will we be nilled for a third game in a row. You could play your ladies squad and you would still win easily, but can you keep the mighty London attack out. Good luck for the season BTW 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One factor that may or may not have played a part in Chissy's absence at Workington might have been that his partner was due to give birth, and indeed did so in the last couple of days, so being involved in a rugby league game over 3 hours' drive from home might not have been seen as ideal. Of course he might just have been rested because of his thigh/the forecast muddy conditions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phantom Horseman Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 So...the usual 19 names are up on the RFL website. The exciting news is that Leilua is amongst them. Chisholm, Lockwood and Ferres are in there. Still no place for Matthiou, assuming the two late-alphabet missing names are Trout and Wildie. We have 5 out on what seem like longish-term injuries (Koppy, Jesse, Josh H, Doyle and Gill). squad: Briscoe, Bussey, Chisholm, Cooper, Cuthbertson, Davies, Ferres, Field, Gale, Hall, Hellewell, Holmes, Jones, Leilua, Lockwood, McConnell, Moors, Pickersgill, Smith plus presumably Trout and Wildie. London have only named 17 on the RFL website so far which either means some more names are presumably having fitness tests this evening or their injury issues are especially bad.

My 17 plus Chizz, Bussey, Ferres & Joey. Big Mac will be best placed to decide who's playing and who's not. But, with another seven players out, that's a strong squad indeed. https://www.fevarchive.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POR Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 So only change is joey for bayley DESPITE the rumours of Brett joining the bulls I would start him and give Junior a well earned rest with FAX in mind similarly I'd save Chizzy ad Locky for the cup Finally if Joey's fit joey plays My changes from last weeks 17 would be Joey for Ben in centre Sherlock for Bayley in halves two new 2nd rowers Brett and Ben for Junior and JD then on the bench JD for Loui Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eltel Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) Looks like holmes is getting a run out with leeds reserves Rhinos have drafted former Super League players Kyle Trout and Tom Holmes from Featherstone Rovers into their squad, along with Hunslet’s Rian Rowley and Charley Bodman and Oli Burton, of Batley Bulldogs. *Nothing to worry about the game has now been cancelled.

haskey Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 What is going on. Have Leeds not got enough players to make up their teams. McD has been talking about rotating his squad. Giving Holmes a run out & Trout a second run out against London would make more sense than bowing to Agar for some players. To me it stinks. Rant Over.

The Phantom Horseman Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 It's starting to look as we might get comparatively lucky with the switch of game day in terms of the weather, Saturday certainly looking better than Sunday (or today) in that respect.

To be fair it was clearly stated before the season started that a few of our fringe players would get the odd run-out with Leeds reserves, DR is a crappy system but us and Leeds having a hybrid reserve team probably makes financial sense for both clubs. It's a moot point this week anyway as the reserves game has been called off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are up to 18 now on the RFL website but on the Broncos website their coach states they only have 18 fit players this weekend. Four or five of those guys were with London Skolars or West Wales prior to signing with the Broncos. They do have one or two interesting overseas signings but providing it's not a mud bath it will be surprising if this isn't a wide-margin win for Fev.
