I think I'd be tempted to split them up and start with Ese'ese and Aydin. Aydin is probably the weakest of the the 4 in terms of yardage, breaking tackles etc, but what he does bring is a lot of effort and enthusiasm. Have him set the tone early on with his kick chases and line speed putting himself about, and then you've got Knight to come on when we need to give Herman a rest and you aren't losing too much then.


I can see value in just simply putting our best 13 on the park from the start and trying to blitz them in the first 20 minutes. But my concern is if they hold their own during that period, where do we go from there? Their bench props are stronger than ours and I would worry about them getting on top in the middle part of the game again.

as classless as two fingering the rovers crowd think hos needs a word with one of your players

Obviously disappointed to lose because I really thought that game was winnable. However, very encouraged by the performance again. With Cust off and us 10-0 down I thought we were in real trouble, but with 20 minutes to go Rovers were genuinely in real danger of losing that. Eventually fatigue caught up with us and they just about had enough quality to finish us off. 


I thought Ashworth had his best game for a while, and even if Chamberlain is fit next week I think I would stick with Ashworth and Hardaker in the back row. He's just so much harder to handle than Chamberlain is and caused a lot of problems running a bit wider. This decision is made easier by the fact that I thought Eseh was really good too. If he can carry the ball like that all the time it gives us 4 good props in the 17 and frees up Ashworth to play wider. 


The red card was fair enough, but it was just a bit of a unfortunate situation for Cust. He certainly didnt intend to do it, just one if those rugby incidents. Another ref might have been more lenient, but you have to accept that forceful contact to the head is going to get you in bother these days intentional or not.

Cust cost us the game liek Griffin cost us the CC game v St Helen?s when he got sent off
Both as stupid as each other in being sent off 


I?m only just calming down 


4 game ban for Cust and Pryce to 6

I'd be shocked if Cust didn't get a ban, probably the fact that he was sent off and Morgue was OK, will hopefully keep it down to a match or two.

Be interesting what we do, I'd try and keep Rapana at centre, so either bring in Moy or Charles.


Chamberlain is seems to get injured every few games.

I made a point of watching sezer yesterday and he was constantly talking to team mates, orga isi g, moving players around. He's been way above what I thought he'd be and a much higher quality player than I had appreciated. I'm just hoping his hammy holds up.

It's a shame cust is going to cop a ban as he's had a stop start season so far but we look a real threat with him and sezer in the half's and pryce at full back
