Catalans up soon. Their injury faking antics seem to have re-emerged big style. Make Salford look like men of iron.

Yes, it’s quite sad really. To think that we used to mock footballers for feigning injury and mobbing the ref at every other decision. Who would have thought Rugby League would turn out just the same. It’s understandable that a lot of ex players and older supporters have no interest in the game nowadays. It’s quite damning when you hear fans talking about how good certain players are at winning penalties for their team.

This one is down to refereeing. It’ll stop pretty quickly if they bin players for dissent and time wasting etc.

Amusing to hear Rowley talk about the game being played in good spirit when he had clearly instructed his side in toilet tactics to slow the game down.

No bans for us for HKR then?

Parcell banned for KR though.

Holroyd in for Donno and Ruan for Bentley at HKR. We need brawn.

It really is going to be hard not to get disrupted by bans as this season goes on - this could work against us up front (or give game time to Hudson / TNW)

Brierley also gets 1 game for the headshot on Croft.

I'm sure Smith something on the lines that Hudson wont feature for the first team anytime soon.

We need a bit more size and go forward in the pack. Donaldson isn't a prop and has never made yards, and Bentley doesn't make dent in the defence either. I'd definitely look to Ruan and TNW if they are available. That pack against Salford felt a bit too similar to the worst of Agar's "middles" days....

In fairness our props made far more metres than Salfords.

Not sure Holroyd will be back for this one so it will be pretty similar on Thursday as the Salford game
