Nice to see it looks like Milnes will keep his place.

What's happened to Liam Johnson? Is he injured?

He played for the reserves the other week

I like Johnson, but who would you drop to accommodate him?

I'm hoping we can run away with it.

Did Johnson do anything wrong? I only really saw him in pre-season but he looked dangerous when he ran the ball in.

Wasn’t great against Warrington dropped a lot of tackles Which led to breaks which was a shame

I'd go with Minchella at stand off for this one.

I would keep Milnes at stand off. Who knows how long Keyes is out for?.

Re: Newcastle Thunder (A) : Thu May 17, 2018 7:56 am  

Think we have more attacking threat whenever Minchella is on the pitch with that in mind I’d play him for full 80 but split between loose forward and standoff. Have hallas do 40 mins at loose and Milnes 40 at stand-off.

Think some people are taking Newcastle a bit too lightly. There right up there in mix for top of table and we need to treat them like we would York or Doncaster.

Mick Gledhill says on Twitter:

"Joe Keyes is looking at missing out the next three weeks. He has had the back scan and there is no structural damage, just musculoskeletal. He's been placed on a rehab programme to ensure that there's no further repeat of the injury."
