Rickett and Butterworth both with first team squad numbers and both playing for the 19s today, so suggests the former.

Doing it tough.

I agree but even spelling Moore for 10 mins is surely better than having a back on the bench.



Suppose we need it for Pyce's knees, hopefully Keyes or Lilley will take that spot when Chisholm is available.

Macani is on the bench so we can move Thomas into the halves when Pryce is crocked.



No other way around it at the moment until Chisholm is sorted.

Is Smith injured?

Looking like 3 horse race now to avoid finishing in the bottom 2. A third of the season gone and we are still 9 points behind Rochdale and Oldham and 10 behind Sheffield, a lot of points to make up in the remaining 20 games.



With 2 very tough away games up next let's hope Swinton and Dewsbury don't pick up any wins in next couple of games. We could of course win at Fev on Monday and this post will be completely irrelevant

Dan Murray has been named in Salford's 19 for Monday.

Let's hope for a better performance than Friday.

To be fair, we've usually reacted to 'a bad day at the office', in a positive manner. Fev also lost though, so maybe they feel the same? Not that a fairly narrow loss - to HKR - is a bad defeat in itself, of course.

I think it'll be a lot closer than some of you are predicting. I think we were foolish expending energy trying to beat HKR (although with a bit more composure, we could and should have won it). Today's game is far more important to our season than HKR was.



I'll go for Fev 22 Bulls 18, but swap that around if Tubby gives up chelping about Chisholm.

Error on the very first tackle. It's going to be a long afternoon...

Fev score from the mistake.
