I’m not one for calling coaches but if Houghton goes off with a tight hammy and lane plays hooker I think it might be breaking point.

Lane gets so much stick and I think he’s been playing better but then has to play out of position. Are we going to use our whole 17 this week or just leave someone sat on the bench

I think Smith will start Nu at 7 then take Danny off and Bring Charles on 7 and move Nu to 9

Tinkering Tony prefers to keep Houghton on at all costs and will move him to 13 if needs be

No Balmforth yet again is baffling, the kid needs to leave for the sake of himself. Couldn't care less about the game when week after week we're trying the same old crap that doesn't work. I'd be happier trying something different even if it didn't quite work: 1.Litten, 6.Hoy, 7.Charles, 9.Brown, 13.Balmforth and Smith on the bench would surely give fans something to show we're attempting to switch things up but we'll just stick with the same thing again and not use the most promising young lad in the squad.

I've already cancelled magic weekend and catalans away in the summer, the clubs not bothered and just going through the motions. Saved myself £700 or so.

Balmforth not being in the squad has pretty much made my mind up that I won't be watching, because that means yet again Brown will be at 7, Houghton will be forced to play 80 minutes etc etc.

I hope we win, I'm sure our performance will be much better than against Leigh, but I just don't think I can bring myself to watch it.

I'd definitely have Martin on the wing, and either have Scott or Mcintosh at centre.

Balmforth must shagging Smiths misses .

Re: Giants in the Cup - can we get Up for the Cup? : Thu Mar 21, 2024 1:48 pm  

Barron, Balmforth and Jebson all in the reserve squad.

Love the fact we are signing DR players from Doncaster and Sheffield, what a club.

Re: Giants in the Cup - can we get Up for the Cup? : Thu Mar 21, 2024 1:54 pm  

I suppose its better than cancelling the game.

Good to see Jebson back.
