Squad for Featherstone : Sat Mar 26, 2016 4:25 pm  

Jamie Thackray is not included, pretty sure he took a knock at Bradford, Israel in the 19,hope he gets a run out.
We need to get back to winning ways. Featherstone played Friday so hopefully the days difference will help.
2 POINTS ARE WHATS REQUIRED.

No Alex Walker either so maybe Eliab at FB?

Re: Squad for Featherstone : Sat Mar 26, 2016 5:57 pm  

Alex takes the ball well but lacks the drive to go forward, he gets caught to close to our line, too often. Could do with bulking up a bit too.
As you say perhaps Israel will get his chance in that position.

Israel at fullback may be a good move!

Re: Squad for Featherstone : Sun Mar 27, 2016 10:03 am  

I reckon he'll put Izzy in centres to continue his intro to the team and style of play - halves is too critical.

For me:

Hellewell/Kear
Williams
Eliab
Kear/Hellewell
Macani
Leatherbarrow
Barthau
Slyney
Cunningham
Ioane
Foster
Garside
Bussey

Battye
Ackers
Offerdahl
Davis

Harrison and Magrin out

Please let's keep Foster at 3! We've finally found a right centre who can both defend and offer line breaks. Naiqama should have a difficult job getting back in.

Eliab should be introduced from the bench for a few games IMO.

Fair points my only objection can we afford to carry a utility back and back up hooker on bench? The sides we play tend to be big units.

The answer is no.

Less than 15 mins gone and already 3 or 4 penalties conceded!

Some things never seem to change!

We were terrible first half, bombed chances, gave away penalty after penalty and looked lethargic. For the first time ever being full-time seemed to tell. Fev tired badly, and suffered a succession of injuries and we gradually got on top, but our completion rate was dire. Not a nice day, windy, wet and cold.

But two very important points especially as Bradford lost, but we need to get smarter the penalty count wasdreadful
