Alan, what have you seen so far this season have you been bullying the opposition around the park like last year? It's not a criticism, it worked and get results.
Defence has been brutal but fair and (so far) our discipline has been massively improved. A few too many technical offences given away but very few for high tackles etc. No cards, fights or mouthing off bar a bit of pushing and shoving at Batley.
Hopefully we can keep it up as we got dragged into tough forward battles far too often last season against teams we probably could have run rings round on the edges.
Ironically the opposite is probably true for Sunday. We have loads of props to pick from whereas our outside backs are dropping like flies so a forward battle could suit us more than usual.
McNally, Beswick, Tonga, Armstrong, Dixon and Barlow are all injured. Pala was injured and has just left the club. Ridyard, Worthington and Maitua are also all doubts for Sunday so you have probably caught us at the right time. On the upside Paterson should hopefully be making his 1st league appearance and Whiting is also a possibility after joining on loan this afternoon.
Should be a great game!
