Yeah I wouldn't change much (maybe bring in Magrin or Storton to beef things up) as others have said, Hallas was superb last week. I wouldn't have had him in the 17 but he proved me wrong and drserves to keep his place.

I don't think we'll be complacent. But what has done us in the past is being old-manned by them. Think there has been at least 2 yellows every time we've played Swinton with a couple of reds for us falling for their tactics (and weak Refereeing for failing to get a grip early on) Concentrate on ourselves, don't get drawn in and we'll be far too strong for them.

It will be fiery early on though but we just have to weather the storm and we'll pull away.

Why would the Vice captain be rested after 1 game
And what have JY or Ryan done to justify dropping them for DFJ?

Please help me out?

Since you were last in this division, they have parted company with Josh Barlow, but have acquired a fiery little half back called Rob Fairclough who seems to have taken over as chief wind-up artist on their team

Jamie Acton has signed for Swinton too.

I wouldn't even begin to suggest which players JK should select - I trust him to pick the best team available and it's nice to have the option of different players to choose from.
Based on last season's league position and last week's result this should be one of our easier fixtures but looking at all the teams we have to face this season I don't think there'll be any easy games and a mid table finish will be a very positive outcome to the season to build on for the future.

No doubt George will have him swinging within 5 mins

Rumours of us signing Olsi Krasniqi on loan so he may feature

Re: Round 2: Swinton (A) : Thu Feb 07, 2019 2:54 pm  

Krasniqi signed on loan for a month official Good signing to cover Peltier and Bustin's injury.

Krasniqi is decent so should give us a bit of needed cover. I’m not sure what Jon Magrin will make of it. As far as I know he’s fit and available for selection but can’t get in the team.
