A few losses certainly puts things into perspective and raises old doubts we had at the beginning of the season.

I can't help but think this game is another tough one we'll lose without our loanee props. Reinforcements needed asap.

To be fair, even with a full strength squad i think we're on for a bit of a spanking. I don't think Toulouse have lost to anyone at home, including Hull KR. For me it's about damage limitation (lose by less than 30) and no new injuries.

The Sheffield game the week after would be a disaster if we lose. Be a tasty one too.

Especially if the Chisholm situation can be sorted out prior to that game!

Can't argue with that. Chisholm in the side with Murray and Peltier back and we're looking much better.

Damage limitation hopefully this weekend.

Obviously Sheff won't be in a rush to resolve it until after the match.

Again, just like Featherstone away, this is pretty much an irrelevant fixture in the sense that those teams around us at the foot of the table won't be picking up points there either. We actually did well to beat them at home tbh, that could be a crucial 2 points come the end of the season.

Of course not, providing the talk of his contract ending on May 1st isn't true. But if it is, they won't be able to stop him signing will they?

I've lost track completely now

Team:
Campbell, Caro, Davies, Hallas, Hodgson, Kirk, Larroyer, Magrin, Mendeika, Moore, Oakes, Pickersgill, Pryce, Roche, Ryan, Storton, Thomas, Tomlinson, Wilkinson

Could be a bit of a cricket score. For me i'd wouldn't bother risking Pryce.

1. Campbell
2. Caro
3. Mendieka
4. Oakes
5. RYan
6. Pickersgill
7. Thomas
8. Kirk
9. Moore
10. Margrin
11. Larroryer
12. Wilkinson
13. Hallas

14. Roche
15. Davies
16. Tomlinson
17. Storton

Where the hell is Smith? I think something odd here.

Re: Toulouse (a) : Thu Apr 27, 2017 2:04 pm  

I wondered that as well. I don't think we've heard a word about why he's not playing?

Storton? Who he?

Where's Bentley

It looks like a squad that gives meaning to the term 'lambs to the slaughter'
