Looking forward to this with a bit more optimism than usual, both in view of our promising early season form, and Featherstone's injury problems that see them without a recognised half back, and with 3 on DR from HKR. Real shame Charlie Graham apparently not fit yet,  would guess Mccomb back to centre and McCarron in the 2nd row. Off subject but pleasing to see Bulls unexpectedly losing to Barrow 

Feels strange been confident for a home game against Fev. The start of the season has been better than most of us expected and there really is no reason to think we are not capble of making it 4 from 4.


On the Bulls, I thought they would walk the league with their huge squad and massive spend but it certainly seems like something isn't right. Sometimes it can lead to problems when you give players large contracts and they have to do the bare minimum to pick up their money. Fax on the other hand on a shoestring and sometimes that can lead to a very tight team bond which has been very evident so far this season.

Fev as always will be a hard game tomorrow and let's hope that Hansen slots back in well at half back. If we can get the points in this one we will have had a great start including the win over Barrow. Their win at odslum last night wasn't the biggest surprise to me. I thought they looked more than decent down't Shay and it was a good two points for us. A repeat of that particular performance tomorrow would hopefully see Fax remain unbeaten. I'll go for Fax 24v16 Fev.

Don't think you'll ever get a better opportunity to give us a bit of a mauling at the Shay, not only do we have the well-documented half back problems but we have been very much losing the arm wrestle lately and this will be the smallest pack you've seen us bring to your place for many years with Springer, Boothroyd and Akauola all missing.



I think we'll be ok later in the season if we get a bit more luck with injuries but we're struggling both in terms of form and health right now.

Happen so but we'll need to play well to get the two points.
