Any danger of Phoenix arriving soon? Does the man even exist?

He's actually a Fax fan who's just changed his Twitter picture and name so it looks like an RL Player. He's renowned for catching people out with the trick and did the same to Cha-Lo a couple of months ago.

On the subject of Hallas, I noticed on that crappy little programme thing they give you on entering the turnstiles, that Hallas wasn't listed in the squad. That being said, neither was Daniel Murray, so it's probably nothing to go by. But to not list him but have Oledzki & JJR on there, and be up to date enough to not list Lilley just set an alarm ringing that maybe Hallas has gone back (perhaps because of an injury). Or the person doing the squad list was too useless to remember he's here.....

To be fair they also listed Gene Ormsby at one point when he was never signed. Only rumoured. Murray has had 3? games with us so should be on that list which shows whoever writes that is either incompetent or genuinely thinks these players aren't with us. Hallas is being treated at Leeds for his injury but his loan was extended after he went back along with the other 3. Only Lilley has been recalled. So Hallas is still available to us on a week to week basis.

As for Phoenix about a week or two he tweeted something along the lines of "Bulls fans, looking forward to being over in a couple of weeks". Not a direct quite but something along those lines. So should be here soon.

Murray is listed as number 33 but wore 22.

Strongest team out against Fev. Resting players is only an option when you have a squad with some quality in depth. Playing a game of RL with a delibrate weakened side is a real moral buster for the lads playing.

Reiss Butterworth Brandon Wilkinson and Evan Hodgson into consideration for Sunday. interesting to see that Reiss is now described as a stand off, previously scrum half and hooker. Whatever, he looks to have the ability to play in any of those 3 positions, so it will be interesting to see where he plays, if he gets any time . probably unused bench.

Having seen both of the friendly games, I thought Butterworth looked better in the halves than he did at hooker.

I suspected that was the case from the three you tube videos, but wasn't sure if it was change of position from half to hooker or the change of age group, but live trumps video so thanks for your observation. Didn't he get a two year contract?

If Fev are without the 5 Leeds players it should be interesting as it may be easier to replace our 3 loanees rather than 5

except we're missing 5 too as larroyer and murray are also ineligble.
