Holmes starting is a no brainer as hes been player of the season for me. Hopefully he's back fit in two weeks time. Same with Walker. He's a quality player. If he strings some games together he'll be fine. No brainer to start him.

Yesterday was frustrating. But there is still potential in this side as we've seen earlier in the year. It's clear we need those "grown ups" as Bullseye puts it, the likes of Lawrence, Thompson, Holmes etc as we're headless chickens without them.

Hopefully with Holmes, Thompson and possibly Baitieri in the side in two weeks time, be interesting to see how we go against the Cougars.

There’s a chance everyone could be back in the next 2 weeks - Holmes, Thompson, Lawrence, Arundel. I’d forgotten about Batieri as well.
That would make a big difference. Especially if Rodgers gets another ban.

Holmes has to play in the halves. We need a live wire like him to get his hands on the ball more. I'd pair him with Jowitt or Lawford. If Lilley can do 80mins at hooker then I'd do that and not bother with an interchange hooker.

I'd drop Patton.

Yep... Patton has to go for me. The only thing he brings to the team is his goal kicking which would be helpful if he didn't cost us so many points with his mistakes.

If everyone can be fit, we have a very strong looking team for Summer Bash

1. Walker
2. Blackmore
3. Arundel
4. Gill
5. DFJ
6. Jowett
7. Holmes
8. Rogers
9. Lilley
10. Lawrence
11. England
12. Butler

Re: Swinton (H) : Mon May 15, 2023 11:34 am  
So from yesterday, you’d be dropping Patten, Baldwinson, Flanagan, Wallace and Johnson. I think Baldwinson has been good enough recently to keep his place and I think Rogers will have a ban coming so that is an easy swap.
How long is Mason here on loan? He had a fair debut.
Lawford still doesn’t make the team, which is a shame. Too many halves unfortunately

The amount of penalties we gave away yesterday was a concern (prob for both sides) those dodgy 2nd half periods we seemed to compound errors with penalties a lot. I was a bit baffled by the ref's PTB interpretation. Six again rulings seem to come randomly. He wasn't a great ref but not the worst I've seen this season. Discipline needs to improve.

Re: Swinton (H) : Mon May 15, 2023 1:24 pm  
I think it’s harsh to say Walker didn’t have a good game. I don’t remember him dropping anything and he beat the first man on returns everytime. He was limping a few times but carried on so hopefully he is fine.

As much as I like Jowitt and Lawford and both could feature more next year I still think it’s a bit early from Lawford and a fully fit spine of Walker, Patton, Holmes and Lilley is the way I would go for now.

Add to that the ‘grown ups (love that btw :)) Lawrence, Thompson, Baiteri we look a much better team with a bit of confidence. Jowitt to spell Lilley at hooker as GF sr is about done.

Must have been at a different game.
Walker made 3 handling errors.
He Threw the interception pass for the try in the first half .
Was out jumped when didnt get of the ground for their try in the second half.

Obviously him and Holmes are the first names on the team sheet for the Bash but he did have a stinker yesterday

So you would drop Wallace? Don’t know if anyone actually takes notice of stats but AJ was the top tackler for Bulls yesterday. Think his defending is over looked by people just looking for carries. Bit of an unsung hero. That right hand side will miss him I think

Well I will say I’m very surprised by that. Maybe I wasn’t watching as closely as I thought. Intercepts granted but genuinely don’t remember him dropping a kick and his returns were pretty good.

Considering his length of time out he’ll only get better, as I think they all would, with some confidence under the belt.

Somehow despite how bad we are away, we’ve still only lost one home game. And in that game we scored the most tries (3 -2)
