JonM Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I'll go for all home wins. I thought Halifax looked pretty impressive from the highlights of Sunday's game. It'll be interesting to see how they get on against Featherstone. Likewise Sheffield Eagles (are they the oldest squad ever assembled in professional RL?) are certainly capable of winning at Barrow. Whitehaven beat Broncos home and away last year IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broncos just and a good test if they are relegation threatened or can hold their own. Widnes but I expect Keighley to be much improved. York on Monday.

Whitehaven beat Broncos home and away last year IIRC. We looked good in the first half but lacked a killer instinct and the game really should have been over by half time but we were sloppy in the second half. I think Sheffield have put together a good team on the sly and I think by the end of the season we will see this was a pretty good win as I think Sheffield could very well sneak in to the playoffs. The Fev game feels very much like the one last season where as we are not given a chance but its a free shot against a team that should not lose many games at home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fev and Fax are usually tight affairs and you could have quite well won at Fev last year if Jouffrett’s hamstring hadn’t gone when he broke clear last year.

It does make for an interesting comparison game to the one last season and I will be disappointed if we can't at least show signes that we can compete with Fev for long periods of the game although I am expecting a similar result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Ashall-Bott's absence might be as little as 1 game given it was a concussion he suffered. Laguerre could be a much longer absence by the sound of it after injuring his shoulder. Laguerre was playing really well but is probably easier to replace for Toulouse than Ashall-Bott. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laguerre was playing really well but is probably easier to replace for Toulouse than Ashall-Bott. Hopefully Waïl or Robin will get a run out. I'm looking forward to seeing the new players 1st hand on Saturday (no3 son's American girlfriend is coming along with us....special treat for her to see what a proper game looks like!). Guy is back and will play on the wing as Latrell isn't ready, and yes, Ben will be out for a while. I heard it was necessary for surgery so that probably means 3 months out. Olly will be back for the York match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
