There wasn't much between the sides in the three games last season really. Derby games are different.

As you saw last season, there wasn't much between the sides at this exact same point either.

I see we've signed two loan props. We were down to the bare bones with Rogers and Johnson suspended and Lawrence out. Would imagine Baldwinson, Scurr, Butler and Bibby will be the four props.

Also sounds like Walker will be back very soon too.

Dunning said in an interview that Lawrence is around 5/6 weeks away.

Walker (2-3 weeks, aiming for CC against Fax).
Gill (this game or next)
Ho (if he even comes back, not a case of when)
England (4/5 werks).

Also R. Butler has had a family tragedy so is 50/50 on whether he plays.

Re: Halifax (A) : Sat Apr 08, 2023 11:01 am  

James Donaldson in the 21 man squad on dual reg.

Re: Halifax (A) : Sat Apr 08, 2023 11:19 am  

Luis Roberts can Foxtrot Oscar as far as im concerend. Dont want that prick anywhere near a shirt. Sadly given that we have taken him i presume he will play.

Said it since preseason the balance of the squad was all wrong. Who goes in to a season with only 2 wingers. Its as bad as Kears full back situation last year and Jimmys "we dont need a half back".

Re: Halifax (A) : Sat Apr 08, 2023 11:28 am  

Based on the squad announced, I would go:
Jowett
Blackmore
Arundel
Gill
Roberts
Holmes
Patton
Baldwinson
Lilley
Scurr
Appo
Wallace
Thompson

Flanagan Sr
Bibby
Donaldson
Walters

Re: Halifax (A) : Sat Apr 08, 2023 12:08 pm  

Is Walters a prop now? He was 2nd row last year. Donaldson is still 2nd row. I don’t think Jowitt did enough to start, I think we’ll still be Holmes at FB and Patten/Lilley.
