Yeah the York game is the big one.   The question at Batley is how we avoid getting drawn into the niggle.  We just about managed to avoid that last time but it's their modus operandi at the moment.   Hallas at least managed to avoid getting himself binned versus Sheffield although he came close when that tip tackle went unpunished and players ran in.    You just know he'll be targeted as a player with a short fuse.  When he keeps his lid on he's an asset so hopefully he's learnt his lesson.

Ok, so The 17 that played last week did a good job. I'm just thinking about people returning from injury. Donaldson is possibly the only one. He would come in for Peposhi I would think. We've not had an update on Lawrence as far as I know. 

Losing Lawrence and replacing him with Donaldson leaves us down to three props - Michael, Bayliss and Mason.    That leaves us needing someone (probably Michael) doing a longer stint than normal like in the Sheffield match.  I wouldn't bring Donaldson in unless he's 100% fit as we can't afford to be down to three props and lose another forward on that slope.  If he is fit then no problem.


Is Waine still on loan to London or is he in the mix?  Could be a decent bench option as we'll need some impact.  With him too it depends on fitness, he's not looked that impressive so far.

Hmm. So Peposhi is now banned. Assuming Lawrence is not fit but Donno is, we're looking at something like:

Bayliss
Souter
Michael
Fulton
Gee
Donaldson


Lilley
Meadows


Ok
Blake
Hooley
Gill
Armitage


Bench is interesting 4 out of


Hallas
Mason
Ott
Waine
Lui

Peposhi can play this week it will be next week his ban comes into effect 

Would keep Peposhi in the squad then!
