X - get it right Coolie lad. Don't bother with any of em ,being on here is enough . 

Lol 

Right back on the plot then

So what did Patton do that was so bad to get 6 matches

Fordy can't be right happy

Is Reynolds coming back to you 

With patton missing 6 games how many will he actually play in a fev shirt? 

But Campbell can't be happy shelling money out for Patton and his sat on his backside 

Think you'll scrape the top 6 your not playing well, but your not a bad team. 

Our lot can't do 80 minutes, teams are actually targeting us in the second half because we shoot our bolt in the first half, game management is poor, fitness too must be an issue as we fade around the 60 minute mark 

Resigned now to another stint in League one.. At least we have no drama like Barrow or Keighley 

Which is our only saving grace

The club knew Patten was a risk ( been told on here enough) but you have to take risks in life. We've got Reynolds back again ☺ so not such a loss thankfully. Shame about Dewsbury struggling, a good away day. We should make play offs but can't go up if we actually beat Wakefield ( can't see it but we live in hope lol). RL is dying a slow death imho and it's a shame . SL was supposed to put us on a par with the Aussies and NZ, further away then ever.

What do you think the half back players will be at the Halifax game.

Difficult one, isn't it Colin?

Obviously Reynolds will be one. We have to assume Turner is injured, but if he's ok, that'd be great. If he's out, there are no halfbacks available on DR, so I'd assume Harry Bowes, or Caleb Aekins if we can get fullback cover.

Prop is also going to be a problem. 

We've got Kamano and Nakubuwai. That's it.

[jamescolin]

Have we heard if Bussey is getting fit? He would be a great help.

Can't agree with you more

More people are losing interest game on its backside, dying a slow death, just wonder at what point we start to lose teams, a hell of a lot of debt with some clubs, Barrow struggling, Keighley having a "who's in charge" dilemma, I'm not bothered who does it.. But Wakefield have to lose a game at all costs, Wakefield fans have turned into self entitled monsters.. Even worse than York's small band of merry men, new teams wanting to come in next season only viable one is Goole.. Bedford and Near Norwich.. Give over, 3 more reasons for our southstand to close, if Oldham and Keighley go up.. Theres no fans left in league 1, might as well close our ground and play on Shaw Cross pitch.. League 1 is a graveyard

A perfect  example is England v France being a curtain raiser  to a Championship match !!! Our crowds have dropped a lot ,and how most teams especially League 1 teams keep going is beyond me. Still so long as SL are OK it's fine.

I've even fallen out watching super league, dull uninteresting games, every now and then you get a cracker, Leeds, Huddersfield, London, Hull are dire to watch, Castleford seem the only team with any desire to win, enjoying Saints losing a few, just need Wigan to do the same, worst thing sky showing every game, and even dafter when there's 3 games on a friday night, they tell you the scores of the other games.. Ludicrous 

So folk tape the other 2 games, but yet told the score. 

The England Vs France International was a complete waste of time, money, effort

International game is dead, super league not much better, championship is still the honest rugby league competition, but that's getting tainted with Wakefield spending power, then in League 1 you've Oldham signing players hand over fist... Some right mercenaries at that club, I see another's joined them in the last 2 days.. Keiron Dixon... Really how many players do that need, if they didn't get promoted they would be skint and wound up in a week

Baffling the money some teams are spending.

I know it doesn’t affect this game but Hardcastle picked up a 1 match ban and Garth Gale has been referred to tribunal for head contact

Both named in rfl match centre  which  only names 19 but includes Turner Massey and Silk  with Warren from the whinos and Barley on DR  

[Featherstonerovers2000]

Maybe two loan players coming in with only naming a 19 man squad 

[lingaro]

Only players that aren't at a RL tribunal are the injured ones. Getting ridiculous.

Anyone in a rovers shirt gets a ban including ladies team ! Other sides appear to get away with a fine - strange that !

[haskey]

Who is this Silk player ??

[haskey]

You are right L . Teams are going to end up playing 9 nines if we go on like this .This tribunal system wants a b---dy big kick up the ar-e

  Came through at Hull FC and played for them and York.Prop forward who has been playing well in the National Conference for West Hull.He seems keen to have a go with us so he deserves a chance.

Here we go

Featherstone coach, James Ford, added: "Zeus has been outstanding for West Hull this season. He's a high-energy player who is very tough and hard to handle. He has a superb attitude and is determined to make the most of this opportunity."

[jamescolin]

Thanks POR.

[marklaspalmas]

Interesting squad.

Assuming that:

1. We don't add any more players

2. Massey is really fit & ready this time and not just making up the numbers,

then I'd say Eden & Harris miss out.

Aekins

Wynne Minikin Barley GG

Turner & Reynolds

Kamano/Jones/Nakubuwai & Subs Massey/Bowes/Silk

Day Hardcastle England & Sub Warren

Hope Turner is fit to play and not just filling the team sheet up ! Would like to see how they work together in the halves.

Thanks about Silk SOA
