We aren't short of props... Kear just refuses to play with three.



I still think its a big reason why we are losing the battle in the middle more often than not, but Kear will stubbornly stick to his guns unfortunately.

I'm OK With Wood as the 4th prop. He's certainly the size of a prop. I'd be quesionning it if we had a winger another second-rower on bench though. I would imagine Green hasn't recovered from that nasty gashed knee. Margrin hasn't really taken his chance. We beat Leigh with the same 4 props (apart from Bustin instead of Green)



Got a feeling it be a rough, tough game this.

It'll be a tough game. Dewsbury are a bit of a dark horse as they're inconsistent but seem capable of lifting themselves for big games which I have no doubt is how they view Sunday. Play sensible and stick to the game plan and we should get the 2 points on Sunday

Grant's inclusion leaves open the possibility of Ryan at FB, which I find slightly odd. Not claiming to know the first thing about rugby league coaching but I'd expect that the coaching team know who will be playing such a key position and have been through a tremendous amount of ball drills this week with them there. I'd have also thought the 19 man squad would be named with excess forwards rather than backs, since they're less pivotal positions and we have plenty of bodies available.

Even without Grant, Ryan could still play fullback. Evans & DFJ on the wings, Oakes & Webster in the centres.

Oakes isn't in the 19

Injured, slight knock from last week, should be ok for next week.

This would be a great comment if Oakes was actually in the 19 man sqad.

Ah yes. Sure I remember reading his name when I first saw it. Must have been seeing things!

To be fair Oakes was listed in one squad and Milnes in another

Ah, that would explain it. Because Milnes is the one in the squad list that I hadn't noticed the first time. I was going from the list that was on the Bulls site (not the image), and that doesn't seem to be there anymore. Glad I'm not going mad!

Oakes was named in the T&A but not Milnes.
