Squad on rfl site. 


Nothing major. Liu and Gill included (which just makes a farce of the loan system) 


Should have been a game to give a young one a chance. Sometimes they can be a bolter (Myers a couple of years a go) if we're not going to do it in this game then we never will. So looks like only option is  Noble resolving the issues for the York game with the current players because we've nothing to fall back on.  That or more panic loan signings SL clubs don't want. 


Anyway 40-10 win. 

Hope we haven't lost Holmes to HIA or injury, the late challenge was very deliberate and not good to see.

Hunslet were pretty hopeless and Bradford showed a few glimpses of quality but it was a largely poor quality game. Definitely struggling for some form right now and tonight's performance will not cut it at York next week.

Doro as expected ran through brick walls for us and was the best player on the pitch by some distance.

I honestly think we could get a pasting next week. In fact I'm not even hopeful of a result next week. I really hope to be proved wrong but there needs to be the mother of all turn arounds. 


Hunslet are absolute garbage. Anyone who says we defended well is deluded. As I posted earlier, their aggregate score for the last two games was 130-6. They were no better than an amateur side, no coaching, but just act like thugs when game gets away from them. Yet we still toiled. 


The tries we scored, let's be honest, it was pretty weak efforts from Hunslet. Due to numerous penalties, we had nearly all the territory, yet didn't look remotely threatening. 


The message of errors clearly got through. Again Okunbor producing another howler. York punish that next week and won't let in tries as soft of Lilleys. 


Noble has a mammoth task in training this week. 

Don’t know about garbage, but definitely one of the dirtiest teams we’ve played

Sounds like Holmes is concussed, so that's one key player we could have done with missing for York. Frustrating that we've lost him due to foul play.

Not sure what caused the Liu fight but he will very likely pick up a ban for the following week as well.

Going to be very low on numbers, wonder whether Souter will be risked for that one?

That attack on Holmes was like something from the 1980s.  I was amazed the Hunslet player only got a yellow.  Holmes looked badly concussed.  Hope Keyes is fit for next week. 


As I've said before out attacking play is really poor.  1st half we utterly dominated possession and territory yet we always tried to run over Hunslet rather than create anything.   Where's the guile, invention and creativity?  Meadows had a stinker and looked like he was running in treacle and his decision making was far too slow.


The ref made a few odd decisions but I didn't think he was that bad until he let the dirty play get out of hand.  Hunslet played like a pub team in the end which was a shame because they worked hard up until then.


I expect a gubbing at York.
