Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

I just hope they give a couple of the young lads a rest & have the others on the bench!

Rest Smith
Rest shorocks
Bibby to centre with Hanley or Halsall? On the wing
Harvard rested

I'd say Rest KPP but if Bateman plays put him loose to Rest shorrocks

Some may disagree but with TL also out we are going to miss Isa and that wing will be targeted
These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

KPP looked completely done in Friday it’s time to rest him,so I’ll expect him to be the first name on the team sheet.

Given the grubby nature of Isa swinging arm into Welsby I’d be amazed if he gets away without a lengthy ban so no wonder he’s not named

Isa should be sectioned by the club for his actions the other night.
He knows the club are struggling at the moment with confidence and injuries. He should have more maturity and experience about him then the way he acted against saints

Field fullback….. gilly and zak centres….. that to me looks a stronger set up that wont get targeted
IF YOU STRIKE ME DOWN I WILL BECOME MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE

Field is a doubt, hopefully he'll be fit enough to play.
