Easter games : Thu Mar 26, 2015 8:15 am  

Been rather fortunate with our fixtures! Avoided the better teams so far this year.
Salford at home should be a win as long as we control there play makers
Then a rather hard fixture against hull kr at there spot, but they will be coming off the Derby against there nearest and dearest! Always a very taxing game for both of them!
Could help build a lot of momentum for the visit of saints

Feel we owe Salford after last years debacle at home against them.

Really don't want to see the good doctor jumping for joy in the directors seats again this year....

Re: Easter games : Thu Mar 26, 2015 8:44 am  

Yeah Salford can play some brilliant off the cuff stuff and now we more organisation and apparently more agression.
But we do owe them! Would want a good solid game playing at our potential not allowing it to turn into tit for tat try scoring

Re: Easter games : Thu Mar 26, 2015 1:00 pm  

we always seem to somehow lose to these two teams at least once a season

got caught out by salford on a good day last season at home , also brough got taken out late so we do owe them one!

hull kr away after a short turnaround not great, we kick off at 6pm on the friday night too so an even shorter turnaround for the players

big enough squad though which will be a plus for us

I remember having Crusaders and Salford at Easter and we got smashed in them both - we do seem to get 'easier' fixtures ie no derby but we struggle at Easter, especially Salford.

Salford and Hull KR are both very good teams on their day and we will need to play well in both of them to get something.

Re: Easter games : Thu Mar 26, 2015 4:31 pm  

Totally agree with you daz. If we don't turn up we will lose both! If both turn up with their a game they can beat any team in the league! I don't believe these points will come easy as they shouldn't in any competitive league but I would sooner face them than say wire and leeds!

Re: Easter games : Thu Mar 26, 2015 4:36 pm  

that day in Wrexham was one of the worst performances i've ever seen from any rugby league team!
what made it worse was that we were top and they were bottom and we took a fantastic following ..absolutely awful!

but yes easter used to be the time when our season started to unravel, let's hope it doesn't this year as there are no easy games to be able to make it into the top 8 this time.

Re: Easter games : Thu Mar 26, 2015 4:43 pm  

They are both tough games against really good teams.
Can't imagine how we'll get on until we take on Warrington this week.
Anderson however must be comfortable with the upcoming games sending Oliver Roberts out on loan... I thought he may of had a run out through Easter.
We have a very big squad with lots of options.

We were in brilliant form for that game! We had just beAten leeds I think and it was the largest amount of tickets bought for an away game through the ticket office! The club made a big deal of our numbers!
My other half who was at work even said the commentators were mentioning the fact there wasirr Giants shirts out there than Salford shirts.
One of many chances the team had to build confidence of our fan base and boy they messed it up!

Just looking for a decent performance against wire! Not expecting points really! Aslong as we start retaining the ball and keep up the work ethic I will be happy! Not easy fixtures over Easter but not the hardest either! A perfect two games to build some momentum for saints and Catalan home games!
