I'm sure the RFL will oblige.

Chisholm would be nice. Forwards will set the platform to win the game however. If they do so then Keyes has a decent running game as well and him and Lilley will have the space to play.

It's all going to come down to if we have the same desire to win that we showed against KR.

Pretty much was expecting Chissy to be out this week, though I'll wait for the official announcement.

With or without, I feel we should have enough in the locker to beat Dewsbury, or at least, the team they have been for most of this season. I don't see why the confidence from Blackpool should dissipate with Dane not being there, even though I'm sure his return had much to do with that confidence. We should still have a strong pack, good halves and a fair threequarter line up and we haven't been able to say that for some time.

Depends if we turn up with the London mindset or the HRK mindset.

Dewsbury will be incredibly up for it. It'll be a big test of confidence. When things go wrong heads have gone down. We'll see what we're made of this weekend.

Hopefully Chisholm will play - we do need him as he'd give us an edge in this game. We also need to play the same big pack we played at HKR, especially if it's Keyes and Lilley in the halves as they'll need plenty of space.

Huge game for both teams this one. Should be a great atmosphere, I'm going to try and persuade a couple of lapsed fans to come along, we can help the team by trying to make it like a home game with the number of away fans.

Plus how often to you (hopefully)get to celebrate getting to the dizzy heights of zero points?! COYB!

100% agree with that. Especially with Dewsbury being a 'tight' ground at the best of times and space inevitably being at a premium. We must treat it like the cup final it very nearly is, since they surely will.

Also heaps of pressure on us this weekend. None last weekend. All the players will know how important this game is. It's bigger than anything many of them have ever played in. That can make or ruin a player.

I'm nervous just thinking about it.

Well, tbf, Blackpool is hardly a wide, rolling plain of a ground.

Given the weather, we might as well have played it in the Everglades during a hurricane
