Batley (H) : Mon Feb 28, 2022 9:16 am  
Tough match this one. Hopefully Lilley will be back to take some pressure off Patton. The pack will need to muscle up bigtime.

Huge game this. Lose and we're 1 from 4 in the league and in a real tough spot. Don't think we'd recover from it as the knives will be out.

It be a tough hard game and a the there's a lot riding on the result already.. Will tell us everything about what our mindset is like for this season.

Apart from a bit of rain on Wed and Thurs it looks like it'll be a dry run up to the game and it's meant to be fine on Sunday. Hopefully some of the bog at the Southbank end will have dried up. I'm not sure what state the pitch is in but we do look better on a firmer surface.

Agreed. Watching the highlights we scored some lovely tries on Sunday. Throw Lilley in there and our attack should go up another level. Our achilles heal is keeping our intensity and concentration. It will be put to the test on Sunday as we will have some tough moments in the match.

On the pitch, hopefully the couple weeks break and drier weather will have done it good. Think it's had at least one game (sometimes two) played on it every week since January.

The intensity and concentration comes from having good fitness and endurance. This remains a concern to me.

Not a great look for either of them is it. Im not sure what message it sends to the rest of the squad when our captain has let him self go. So much for setting standards.

Two Leeds loanees included. I reckon they'll go straight into the 17.

2 decent loanees as well. I agree, both should be in the line up for Sunday.

Think Rhys Evans got a knock last week - Butler comes into the centres if he's out maybe or Kear with Miller on the wing.

Tindall on the wing for Dawson Jones if he's not over his injury.

I'd go for this - provided Lilley is fit.

Hall, Kear, Evans, Gill, Tindall, Patton, Lilley, Crossley, Doyle, Evans, Butler, Scott, O'Connor - subs - Walker, Kibula, Scurr, Flanagan

The reserve fixture for tomorrow is off as the pitch is currently unplayable. Pitch seems to still be an issue. Potentially another mud bath.
