Is a credible option but I would keep the disruption to a minimum and think Grix will agree..

Either Hudd-Shay or Beaujangles, it might be even later by the time they’ve finished moaning.

Aye, when will we learn? Even if you were the most enthusiastic supporter of DR you'd have to admit our use of it has been an absolute shambles. I'm sure one poster on here will disagree though. As for the game, it's up to the players to show that Monday was a one off and without any outside distractions i'll go for a Fax win by 16. Up The Fax!

Not that you would know or even vaguely understand but it’s more about being an enthusiastic supporter of your club instead of saying everything about them is an absolute shambles at every opportunity and i’m more than sure one poster on here agrees though.
Pretend to be as sarcastically clever as you like but it’s there for all to see in past, present and watch for it everybody future posts from both of them.

Dream on! I'm as enthusiastic as the next man concerning Fax. Point out to me where I've ever said everything about the club is a shambles. If that was the case I wouldn't be on here or going to the games. As for 'pretending' to be sarcastic, if you can't take it, don't give it out. Up The Fax.

Grix was only vaguely complimentary about 2 players after Monday, Wood and Fairbank so I'd be very surprised if he didn't start Wood in the halves. Like others have said I've been impressed with what I've seen of Inman so far, and this would seem a great opportunity to give him another run from the bench either as back up hooker or half. On Fairbank I was a bit disappointed he wasn't made captain when Murrell left - while Scott had his faults when things weren't going well, like Monday, he could be gteed to drive the rest of the team on. Brandon has been a great player for the club, but maybe not that sort of captain.

Perhaps he has Moore as captain as he does more minutes on the pitch? I don't think Fairbank would be a bad option as captain, you could see how much Monday's display hurt from his interview. I wouldn't start changing the team too much. Put Inman in at hb with Wood on't bench as cover.

Point out, are you blind, check out the majority of your own posts, zero about anything actually relating to a rugby league discussion or content just full of criticism or simple up the Fax comments with an attached symbol.

DR is a classic example of something that you never stop talking about but have no idea what your talking about just like your mate.

I’ve no idea what your doing on here since years ago when Fax first went into a DR arrangement you said that you were done with the club and if you can’t take it follow your own advice and move out.

This feels similar to when we lost at Oldham away a couple of seasons ago , we played dewsbury away the following game ( an easier game admittedly but at this stage it’s about rebuilding confidence) I suspect as in that game we will be concentrating on set completion and discipline . Our kicking game is poor and we rely on our backs to get out of yardage which diminishes energy defensively specifically for our centres. We are also defensively suspect when handling the oppositions kicking game both high and low so that needs to be addressed. Brandon Moore has stopped scooting from dummy half perhaps because we aren’t winning the ruck because our forwards aren’t dominating. Batleys are in a similar situation to us but they’re a big side across the board. Not sure on this one and it could well be fax’s’ biggest test for a while. I would pick inman for his defence and kicking game . I would also be tempted to give Oakley a run out in the centres as I believe he adds a bit more size in that area , the lad has been with us over a year and played once either give him a chance or move him on . Will Maher is playing like a big tree and needs to improve massively, it’ll be interesting to see if Grix is has brutal with him as he was with springer because I know who I’d rather in my side . King deserves a chance even if it’s as rotating prop as kav n gee have played quite well in an underperforming side . I’d also start doro and hope his enthusiasm and aggression puts us on the front foot.

My side is

Woody
Salty
Oakley
Maizen
Walmsey
Wood
Jouffret
Murray
Moore
Doro
Kav
Gee
Tangata
Inman
Fairbank
King
Calcott
