It was just what I thought 🤔 hence the " I always thought " and the " not 100% sure though " 😂

Been to Whitehaven today and after all my years, it was my first ever visit. Found them to be a great bunch of supporters and really enjoyed the day. They are doing a great job keeping RL alive up the

One of the maddest games I’ve ever seen at Swinton today. Swinton full value for their lead and York offered nothing whatsoever for 65 minutes and were poor in all areas. Defence was poor, attack non

With Trinity being below par vs Swinton I wouldn’t be surprised to see a response from trinity of sorts. 
 

Absolutely possibly for Haven to upset Trinity but I’m going for a healthy determined win for trinity for this one. 
 

A few of us making the trio and I’m looking forwards to it.

Donny are certainly not expecting that margin. Rumours around Leon Ruan is joining you before the weekend.

Yeah on paper it should really be a tough game for Donny and maybe not one they would have been expecting to win before the season started. We are on our backsides though, finally got round to watching the York game today and our body language is terible, we looked beat after the first try in the first couple of minutes. Looked like we lost JWH and Jouffret which is just about all that remained of any attacking threat we have as well just for good measure. 

If we can stick in the game then maybe we can give Donny a tough match, if Donny get in front early then I would expect another good beating.

It does sound like we will be bringing a couple of players in but that is a must as at the moment we have not even got 17 fit players to name.

Quick question. Leon Ruan is named as 18th man for Leeds. Can he still play for Halifax on Sunday? Jack Sinfield was also named in both clubs squads but hasn't been picked for tonight. Is this within the rules of DR? Seems odd either way.

I always thought if 18th man you couldn't DR, not 100% sure though.

Yes, he can play. Whether or not he actually gets a game (or rather, part of one).

Where did you get this "information" from?

Thanks. Thought so too. 

Seems very amateurish naming players in 2 squads for the same round but if it's within the laws hate the game not the player.

It's farcical. Thing is though, Fax could name 13 players from Penrith Panthers  at the moment and lose such is the disarray at the moment. 🙄
