I notice Sweet is down to ref Fax on Easter Monday. Perhaps RFL realised they had accidentally put him down to ref both Fax games over Easter, and realised their mistake? ...
He's also down for the Hunslet game and will do them all. He's not called 3 Piece Sweet for nothing.
They would have to sell a whole lot of advance tickets at Fax to make it worth opening up the Rooley Lane End. Unless a crowd well in excess of maybe 6 or 7k was expected at any given fixture I doubt it will be opened this season.
Just had a email from Halifax. Rooley Lane End will be open for the game on Friday night.
No Dan Murray in the squad. Gledhill is saying he's been recalled by Salford. Whilst it probably is true (we all speculated it might happen), I'll wait until I see Murray's name in Salford's squad before I believe it. Reliable sources and all that.
I hope it's 18 because they're going to add Chisholm to it later, rather than because we only have 18 available players. Otherwise we're stuffed for Easter Monday too!
Murray hasn't been named in Salford's 19 for Good Friday. Every chance he'll be in for Monday obviously, but also every chance it's total bull, with no pun intended.
No Murray would reduce our chances by a fair bit. We have nobody that is able to fill his boots in the front row. Roche and Hodgson will give 100% but I suspect we'll struggle like we did at Oldham when he was lost due to sickness.
