I see that Rochdale's first choice hooker Ben Moores has been suspended for the Fax match. So I took time to see who might be filling in by visiting Rochdale's website. Not only is it "difficult" to find who their 2nd choice hooker is, but their "latest news" is the 3/6/18 match report against Swinton. Deary me. We will only have ourselves to blame if we don't put this one to bed, but we need to turn up and still have high energy levels. Luke Adamson and Gavin Bennion in particular will be up for Rochdale.

Forgot to mention in my earlier post that at times Ive criticized Ben Kaye this season but from the half way point I think he has been absolutley superb. I thought he were the MOM yesterday.

Isn't it our old boy Ryan Maneely ?

Just watched the highlights and Grady's try looked EXTREMELY SUSPECT! The Toulouse players were going nuts. And Toulouse had a man overlap at the end when they knocked on. Blinking hummering heck, that was a real close shave!

I agree with you GFB. Didn't have the best of games last week at London, but he has really stepped up for the majority of this season. I may be slightly biased but he has been impressive in attack and defence. Doesn't get the credit he deserves for the work that he puts in, but not many hookers do.

At the game I thought the try was more than a little dodgy, but from the video I've seen I honestly couldn't see a reason to disallow it. The Grove, shuddersfield. Oakham Citra 4.2% Mmm!

Will pay up in the bar on Sunday

He has stepped up a few notches and it is nice to see people recognising that. He does a ton of work which goes unnoticed, but we can say that for most of the team this season. It is obvious that there is a great team spirit and the lads are doing it for their mates. No big time Charlies, just a great bunch of players getting more than the sum of the parts!

Absolutely spot on!
