I wouldn't play Lilley on the bench as it wouldn't be beneficial to him and he probably wouldn't be brought on if we're losing. Starting would be better as we could bring burrow on.

Lilley didn't play for 19's today, so guess he must be playingl

Is Mulhern injured?

Didn't play for Hunslet last Friday due to a sternum injury, isn't playing today at Whitehaven

Cannot see the benefit in peacock playing today, it's a waste of energy with cas 4 days away

its a gamble but got the points on the league table, came off in 2nd half did what was required if it was a problem we could of got the game move back 24/48 hours but the sleeve choice not to .

No issue with the squad as a whole having to play today and Thursday, I suppose I'd just have expected McDermott to be slightly more selective with a player such as peacock

That was a decent offensive result today, having personally had concerns we would be beaten.



Although to be honest there were times in that first half hour of second half when I could have seen kids teams scoring. Wakey went to pieces and we're just awful.



We were not that good for the majority, scored some good tries and like to see us scoring, but much tougher opposition ahead.



Sutcliffe was very good, without actually doing much, silly as it sounds. He just did the right things, but wasn't exactly tested. I have to say Keinhorst looked quite good. Handley still looked suspect defensively, Sinfield was dissapointing, and I am still just not getting it with Yates.

I think it was down to very little else to choose from hence Yates getting the nod.
