oh and murphy will play...maybe on the wing?? eden will come back in at full back

brough and robbo are obvs rests for me. with catalan,possible big team in cup if we win, and wigan these to will be vital also brough hasnt had a rest yet and we dont want him to be tired at end of the season or maybe picking up an injury as a result of playing every game when we will need him for play offs.



crabtree deserves a rest also i think LOD will not play as we seem to be bringing him back slowly which is a good thing also could have a ban depending.



maybe only other main one we could rest is brown but we will be short in the backs taking to many out. but what ever team i think we pick i think we will win by 3 tries or more

No ban - sin bin sufficient.

Perhaps going off topic here but thinking about a couple of stadium modifications for Sunday.



First is I'd like one of those The Voice turnaround type chairs please.



The second and more seriously is the stadium announcers volume. Can anyone really make sense of what he says - the volume / resonance just seems all wrong. For the last few seasons I assumed it was tuned in for a different part of the ground where we sat , or was tested in an empty stadium or a very full one. Anyway last home game was sat in different stand and it was equally unaudible there too.



Is it just me ? Or do others hear the same ? Rhp the other week was impossible to make out what he was saying which is a shame as he talks sense.

If we rest brough and robbo who would play half back? Grix is taking a lot of stick and I would rest him rather than robbo who missed the kr game. Brown and robbo 6and 7 Moore and fooey 9 fairbank 13 give jerry a rest murphy on wing

Would consider:



Murphy

Eden

Cudjoe

Wardle

George



Grix

Brough



Mason

Moore

Walker

Molloy

Ferguson

Cording



Johnson

Faiumu

Fa'alogo

Fairbank (?)





That woould leave the following to rest:



A whole starting pack



Crabtree

Robinson

Gilmour

Bruno

Chan

Brown





Two top bench fowards:



O'Donnell

Patrick



And Jerry !



We have a great squad!

DON`T TELL ME , IT`S RAINING

Will we break the 5k crowd barrier on sunday seeing that its pay on the day?, .

Wigan got 4,000 in the last round with a few hundred Crusaders fans there (plus season ticket discount), if we do that with a similar Swinton following we should be happy.



My guess would be nearer 3,000.

Thats is how it should be the times a ref bottles it and puts players on report so they get a one match ban for nothing (and the early guilty plea option makes it much more so as clubs feel their hand is forced and taking it the panel could see a longer ban) when the ref on the day should have the balls to make a decision right or wrong.

Nope, 2,500 - 3,000 i reckon.



Cant see many willing to pay £15 to watch what is expected to be either a 2nd string side or a pretty one sided affair.

we need to turn up... a bad crowd would not look good and ken davy wont be pleased...
