I get that a makeshift centre isn't ideal and against anyone else bar Fev, I'd have Myers. But Fax, especially away is too early for him. I don't fancy him going up against McComb or Maizen. Out of all the outfield players only Butler and Blackmore have played centre before. After Butler's showing at Keighley, I don't think I'd have him there. But rather as the 'experienced' back rower on Blackmores inside shoulder. Otherwise you tell me, who else would you have if Gill isn't fit? Luis Roberts is a centre from Leeds? Shall we go down that road again?

Centre is probably our weakest position, I'm not even sure we have a centre at the club.

All in all should be a decent game, if it comes down to quality then Fax should win pretty comfortably but given both teams form is all over the place anything really could happen.

Everyone else is playing this Friday so not only are we likely to lose this match, we're also losing three days of recovery time on Batley

So the pre match interview, Dunning says 2 new Super League loanees potentially for this game. If we get someone experienced, who understands the competitiveness with Fax, then I’ll take that as evidence he’s learnt after the Roberts & Ruan problem. And the player who fits the bill would be Donaldson. If he’s in the squad, I’ll be very pleased. Especially if as expected Bodene is ready to play also.

The other thing is that Fax posters keep saying on paper their squad is better than ours. Possibly with our injuries at the moment but if we had a full squad to choose from, I don’t think so.

Re: Halifax (A) : Fri Apr 07, 2023 7:58 am  

Rob Butler coming to us on loan according to Wakey. Think that would be a good pick up for us.

Re: Halifax (A) : Fri Apr 07, 2023 10:01 am  

We’ve just announced the loan singings of Jack Bibby from Huddersfield and Rob Butler from Wakefield.

You're on the same points as us..

I know it might pain you but there's not much between the sides.
