Looking like a must win game after Londan beat Seagulls tonight.

Re: Next up Dewsbury : Fri Apr 22, 2016 9:08 pm  

Squad looks strong to me. Fax by 12.

Re: Next up Dewsbury : Fri Apr 22, 2016 9:20 pm  

I reckon 32 points will be needed for a top 4 place at the end of the season, possibly 30 if it's really tight for 3rd to 6th. We've already lost 5, so we can only afford 2 more losses, possibly 3 through to the end of the season if we want to be in the middle 8's again.

Put another way, we have to win 11 out of the next 13.

We can't contemplate losing this one if we want a successful end to the season.

Dave I'm predicting Fax will lose another 4 games maybe 5 before the season is over,you have to play Batley, Bradford, Leigh,Dews,and Swinton away yet,your last 6 games of the season look difficult.

BIJ,you know my tipping well,but I have to be right at some time, as well as the difficult away games you have to play London, Fev,Sheff at the Shay, and Fev at Blackpool,there are no easy games in the League,teams won't fear playing Fax after your defeat against Swinton.

I cant believe Salty still cant make the squad, he made a mistake and has been punished, but would surely be a better option either at FB or on the wing than any other player.

I also finally got around to watching the highlights from the Swinton game and from what I saw it looks like Sharp was made the scapegoat where as both Greenwood and Smeaton both somehow managed to keep their places. There is only the try with the flip around the back pass where Sharp could take a big part of the blame but that must have almost been undefendable. The other tries looks like either major blunders by others, Greenwood twice, or bad reads inside Sharp from Smeaton and murrell forcing Sharp to move over to cover. Sharp, Potts and Salty have the potential to be a really exciting back 3 IMO.

Sounds like it will be Morrison's last game in charge of Dewsbury as well so it could be a case of one last performance for him or give him the big FO.

What exactly has Salty done- I thought he was injured ? I agree though he would add value.
I felt after the Sheffield game away that both Muzza and Smeaton looked weak on that side and ir showed again against Swinton. Unfortunately muzza is lacking pace in the threequarters now against younger faster men.(still a class rugby brain though) Sharpe just hasn't hit his straps with us and looking at the competition for places is likely to be on his way at some point I fear.
