How we seeing this one? If ever we owe a club one, it's got to be Sheffield! Sheffield have surprised me this year to be fair, Thackeray in particular has been superb. Lose this and it could be a hammer blow to our season.

I think if we lose this one then any hopes of sneaking that final playoff spot have gone especially as you would likely expect York, Batley, Fax and Barrow to all win this weekend.

Granted we would be making up the numbers in the playoffs I think it will be more demoralising for the players and fan base if we were cut away from the playoff chase and the season faded out in front of 1k fans

The revolving door continues to spin...

Re: Sheffield (A) : Fri Jun 10, 2022 6:28 pm  

Obviously we dont know whos fit or who isnt but id expect Hallas, Buttler and Walker back in. Possibly Foggy as well

Pick at fullback, Johnson in the halves. Mellor back row and please god MDJ away from the centres. Put Kear in there.

Burton playing reserves tonight so he wont be in on sunday.

Its going to be a much changed 17 from Monday thats for sure

It could be just me but is anyone else slightly "uncomfortable" that Pickersgill is in whilst Hall (after yesterday's news I assumed was injured) is going to Dewsbury for a month?

I am not suggesting rules are being broken but the club made a decision to sign Hall, I am not sure it sits well to bring a loan player in then loan your own player out?

Otherwise yes a loss on Sunday may well leave too much to do re; playoffs.

Re: Sheffield (A) : Fri Jun 10, 2022 11:00 pm  

I’d go:

Pickersgill
Millar
Kear
Gill
Dawson-Jones
Patton
Johnson
Baldwinson
Doyle
Crossley
Mellor
Butler
Hallas

Flanagan
Wallace
Walker
Scurr

Potential for Evans, Kibula to be on the bench.

I have been out of the country for a week so I assume Liley is injured?

Re: Sheffield (A) : Sat Jun 11, 2022 6:35 pm  

Not sure if he’s injured or dropped. Not in the squad though.

Job done! Good result. Now let’s focus on being best of the rest.
