So from the 21 man squad announced there are no players from huddersfield in this week i think simon said that would be the case until they play there first league game next week. I would drop martin this week he is steady overall but was out of position on a number of occasions last week.

jouffret
saltonstall
arundel
barber
mcomb
aston
keyes
tangata
moore
murray
kavanagh
garside
fairbank

morris
gwaze
larroyer
wood

You’ve highlighted something that hasn’t been discussed yet , Lachlan walmsey , as of yet he hasn’t lived up to his reputation of being a potential super league player , he looked shaky at fb against Wakefield, didn’t do much against Salford and him and McComb against Batley looked defensively lightweight, I’d actually agree with your selection based on form alone and it’ll be interesting to see grixs’ 17 .

Well based on previous performances for other clubs why would anyone be impressed with signing Walmsley

I thought Lachlan looked o.k. against Batley.

Be good to get back to discussing Sundays game! Bit surprised but not disappointed we've gone without dual reg this week - based the highlights I saw of Londons game anything less than a convincing win would be a bit of a disaster. I liked the look of Aston and Keyes in the halves against Wakefield and would probably give Jouffret a game at fullback. I hope Brandon only plays if fully fit, Simon admits we knackered him last year playing him when injured, and he didn't look quite right last week, although he had that in common with half the team. I'm sure he'll bring Fairbank back, and probably Garside, although I wouldn't have a problem with Calcott on the bench.

We'll use Giants players when the Giants tell us we can.

Imo Lachlan has been the weakest of all the new signings, if he offers in attack what he did for Whitehaven last season then his defensive frailties can be ignored, he has offered nothing in attack so far and if you watch the Batley game back you will see one of them ‘ silly ‘ mistakes is walmsley stepping into the attacking line ‘ off the cuff ‘ and wood trying to offload to his forward , it hits walmsley in the face gifting Batley the ball back , he’s trying too hard needs to relax and it will come, I would recommend he has a high protein diet and does some heavy weights has he’s too slight at the moment props could do with 7 to 14 pound of muscle putting on .

Aye i saw that, a right cock up It can be put down to early season rustiness but I'm sure he'll be fine.

A clamour to bring Garside into Sunday’s pack speaks volumes about our strength in that area...

No charge decisions for Martin and Keyes in this weeks disciplinary hearings.
Keyes sure to play, Martin less sure with maybe Aston coming into the halves with LJ at 1.

A keen Batley supporter next to me at the Mount said we would not get much from Jouffret until May at the earliest . He apparently hates the cold so wait till the the sun raises the temperatures.

Are you sure it wasn’t Charlie in disguise.
