Johnson and Tindall will be welcome additions. Both have played with us before and bring quality in their respected positions. I don't know much about Leon Ruan but he seems highly regarded by Rohan Smith. The pitch is still going to be heavy after last weeks snowfall so I'd be tempted to go with a bench loaded with forwards to hopefully win us the arm wrestle. I'd go with:
Great two points. Made hard work of it, but Sheffield are no mugs. Whitehaven beating York shows how tough this league is. Joint third having played all the top half apart from 1 is good going. 3 of our best players in Walker, Lawrence and Thompson missing today.
A really enjoyable game to watch. After we smashed Sheffield in the first 30 minutes, they recovered well into the 2nd half. We'd probably have capitulated last year, but the whole team dug in, and saw the game home. Well done the team and Dunning.
