You only had to go down a couple of posts in discussion with Marty Gurr. But so be it.

Thinking about it from a head coaches position. Are you going to tell Joe Public your lineup plans for the Easter weekend? Not to say Gotcha didn't talk to McDermott but maybe, just maybe, the guy doesn't choose to reveal his exact true lineup plans to every Tom, Dick and Harry especially when injuries could easily play a part over Easter.

He didn't to be fair to the guy, and I never said he did. It was before the game on Friday, before any injuries, and he said in response to a question I asked him that he would be going with the same nineteen for both matches, that is nineteen, not seventeen, with changes made for Friday. Incidentally, I presume, for the exact reasoning you have given in this thread. I would be unfair on him to say he should have the foresight to know his first and second choice fullback would be injured in the same game. Hence why I have said that the squad announcement of the same nineteen made today, was probably prepared before the injuries in the game.

Handley at fullback

Makes no sense to me to make Galloway play again after only 2 days rest after such a long injury lay off when we have Oledski raring to go after dominating in the Championship. It really doesn't surprise me with McDermott though.

Good grief!..



However as predicted Ward to centre and Moon stays at 6. I would not be surprised to see Brisco or even Hall actually be at Fullback

Galloway should be quite fresh and needs to get match fit by playing and Oledski will get his chance against Doncaster.

Brisco hasnt been convinving under the high ball and hall not agile enough for fb so not sure on your reasoning

Ormondroyd on the bench for Fev today so he adds another one we can rotate in for the Doncaster game.

My main reason is that Handley has always looked a bit tackle shy but should bring the ball back strongly.

Two terrible teams here. Can't believe how poor we are second half. Widnes are horrendous.



Printer quickly deleted his post about how many points we should get. And that wasn't a dig, just wondering why.
