London Skolars (H) : Tue May 08, 2018 10:35 am  

Should be steady home win. Stick with the side from Sunday?

I noticed Kirk and Hitchcox get subbed with what looked like knocks. Isn't Hitchcox due to go back to Cas? We could do with keeping him.

Andrade might get a game, he impressed for the reserves vs Fax (we won 16-12). Two tries. If Kirk has a knock then Andrade comes in for me.

I believe that Hitchcox's loan spell is up after Sunday - given that Castleford are so short of wingers that Shenton is being played out on the wing, it would hardly be a surprise if he is recalled.

Maybe we should offer if it's within the rules to do so.

if, knowing Cas are definitely short of outside backs, we let him return we might be able extract a promise that they'll look to letting us have him back when their crisis is over - and when maybe we'll need him far more than we do right now.

Cas have just recalled Kieran Gill from a loan at Oldham. Gill is an outside back, so here's hoping for Bradford's sake that they've decided to give him a chance rather than bringing Hitchcox back.

Hitchcox did say he needs extended game time or won’t be allowed to stay in the country he said he will play anywhere where he has an extended run of games I’d say that’s still at Bradford plus Kear said they met with Powell and are confident he will stay! So hopefully!

Weakens one of our rivals too.

I'd expect Crossley back in first if he's recovered from his knock.

Think Milnes is pretty much certain to play. with hitchcox back at Cas, Pickersgill will have to play at Fullback. Think if we were thinking of playinf Ryan or Smith there then ricketts/oakes would be in squad. Be interesting to see who misses out in forwards. Probably more a case of giving someone a rest rather than dropping through form.
