Keep the momentum going and dont risk players that are carrying a knock.
Wholesale changes may help some development of squad players but, we should be building towards a Wembley final and not disrespecting our opposition.

This. Just rest who needs resting and play the best-fit players.

Think Dec Patton is suspended for this. He received a one match ban after the Bradford game, which unless they've had a reserve team fixture since, and looking on their club website it doesn't look like it, will come into force this week. Big loss for them if true, guess we'll find out when the squad's are announced

But isn’t that the whole point, we still don’t actually know our best team. Bain and Boothroyd could be revelations, Lawford might turn up this time. We have such strength in depth for this division that we could put out numerous combinations without diluting the quality. So on this occasion that cliche doesn’t work for me.

Agree, a few changes for players rotating and certainly capable will be acceptable and not dampen the quality.

Certainly with a few limping and head knock there is the opportunity to see a few players and what they can do.

The club have put a video of team training on Facebook, spotted Walmsley and Atoni but didn't notice Gale or Lino but it is only a very short clip

We should create a rumour based on this Dr!

Lino and Gale had a bust up in training. Apparently Lino kept making turkey noises at Gale referencing his teeth and hair. Get it on Facebook for me would ya pal!

Re: Swinton Lions : Fri May 17, 2024 8:14 am  

Gale and Lino injured so I guess Kaye and Lawford start. Or Jowitt in halves and Booth to full back.

Fancy translating this into English or at least Yorkshire English, I don't read gibberish too well

Maybe stick to drinking halves
