Just not great preparation, especially with the prospect of 3 games in a week now with the Whitehaven mid week fixture.

Don't think Worrincy was able to afford it so he's not there, sure there's probably a few more. Just not great preparation, especially with the prospect of 3 games in a week now with the Whitehaven mid week fixture.

If we beat batley then is the whitehaven not irrelavent ?. Send some of the youngsters for a run out ! Cant afford injuries if its not a game we need to win then send a weaker squad, Got some big games coming up soon in the league and this is more important.

Yeh totally agree, gunna have to try and play our strongest team against Batley and go all out for the win. But with poor prep this week that's gunna be tough. If we don't win this Sunday we're gunna have to go a long way midweek for a win which would be a struggle after only 2days rest and coming off the back of what sounds like a week long booze up for most of the squad! Granted we could afford to field a weaker more experimental side against Cas LL so that could give a few players needed rests.

not sure how the draw works, if is on league placing then it does matter, if not can send weakened team(not really weakened as rest of squad can have run out)

Why should we put any offers on for Super League Supporters? we'd be better trying to attract new fans to Rugby League, who could potentially support the club far more than on a sunday when there main team isnt playing.

Go on then, Fax_RL, enlighten us, where do you get your inside information from? The team go away to a dry weather training camp and you tell us it was a week long booze up, some of the team are still there in Jail and Worrincy couldn't afford to go. You seem to be either remarkably well informed or, more likely being a new forum member, a malicious FCHT supporter.
