Bradford : Away : 14.07.24 : Wed Jul 10, 2024 7:51 pm  

Seen a lot or Bradford chat in the Batley thread.

So, we're short of props, perhaps Pitts will be an emergency one, he started off there after all.

I’m pretty sure if memory serves that Pitts started off as 13 first season with Trinity and then moved into the second row.

We may go with 3 props with Rodwell and Uele having big engines and Shaw doing a stint starting with Rodwell for first 25-30 then coming on last quarter if needed.

It would be nice to find another prop but Pitts needs to stay at 13.

I’m not a fan of moving players and weakening even more positions personally.

I really hope we get a player come back this week in forwards like Boothroyd.

We could line up like:

Booth
Olpherts
Pratt
Thornley
Walmsley
Jowitt
Gale
Rodwell
Kay
Shaw
Ashurst
Griffin
Pitts

Smith
Uele
Croft
Wood

It would take a much improved look of one of Hood/Doyle is fit or a prop forward is fit enough to do a stint.

Even looking at that squad above with 10 or so players missing I’m still fairly confident we can get the points.

Or Hood, Doyle, McGillvray too.

Huge injury list it seems.

Anyone buying tickets on line for this one, please note there is a booking fee, cheeky sods.

Personally hope jowett stays at FB
Kaye at no6 for me.
Not ideal but jowitt is a superb attacking fullback and I've a feeling we're going to need that with so many other players missing.
No way is pitts a prop leave him at 13

Looked like Doyle was training from the pics on Facebook. Could be wrong though

Surely we should be asking Wigan for some forwards for a few weeks?

If you're referring to the point of duel reg it was terminated with Wigan weeks ago
