I know you need to show loyalty and give players a chance to redeem themselves but how many chances?

I only saw the highlights of the Midlands match and Kibula looked overweight. Disappointing. Maybe it's just me but I would be embarrassed if I was turning out looking like I was overweight. Are our fatties not not bothered?

Barrow on Sunday (if it's on) is gearing up to be like a game from the early 60s played in the mud in front of a few dwindling souls. What ever happened to summer rugby? Wrap up warm.

To be fair Kibula did 65 mins I think in what was his first game for 2 years. Achilles injuries are particularly nasty to get over. I think we'll truly see our fitness levels this Sunday though. We don't have the excuse of "falling in love with ourselves" or "the opposition are full time" they'll be very little skill on show, it will be about who can grind it out.

Surprisingly, Kear hasn't had the ruthless streak I thought he would regarding discipline. Remember Fleming walking straight back in the squad after costing us the win against Widnes? I know sometimes coaches need to take emotion out of making selection decisions, but I was very surprised to see Fleming play. With Eldon Myers playing for the reserves, unless Kear is back from injury, looks like DFJ will play.

Kear is available apparently

The rain is coming down and the pitch was already a state - any chance of it being called off?

Might work out better for us if it is

I'll be surprised if it's on. If it is on it'll be an utter mudbath.

Batley's game on Sunday against Sheffield has already been called off.

Probably a wise decision, certainly wasn't going to be conducive to an entertaining day for anyone given the weather forecast.

Gives chance for more to get off injury table
