A real test this game. They are very much improved as a team hence their results and league position. Not sure if we are a settled enough team yet to match them.
If we can play with good discipline like we did last week, complete our sets well, and make them start their sets near their goal line (as we did against Oldham) we'll give ourselves a chance.
N Wales have won 36-34 at Rochdale, 13-6 at Swinton and 54-6 at Skolars. Their wins at Rochdale and Swinton look very good on paper. As Wilf says, they look a much improved team this season.
Comparing our 64-22 home defeat to Swinton with N Wales win at Swinton appears to suggest we're up against it. It'll be a very good achievement if we can turn them over. The bookies have no prices for the game yet but I suspect they'll probably be giving us 16 points start.
If we win, it'll probably give us the belief we can compete against the better teams in the league. If we don't win, the likes of Keighley, N Wales, Swinton and Rochdale will seem like the prime candidates for the top four slots with us battling with Oldham and Hunslet for fifth, sixth and seventh.
