I think we need to try and develop some cohesion in defence so I wouldn't chop and change too much if I could avoid it.



I'd put Walker in the back row at 13 esp if Addy and Olbison are out.

I'd agree that the odd partnership needs to settle a bit, so I'd expect say, Siejka and Gaskell to get some more time together as they are going to be crucial later on. With such a big squad it's going to be hard to keep everyone fit, to be honest.

Is it me or is there a lack of info around injuries? Ferguson ? Blythe ? Peterson ? Even Baille was described as a hamstring pull after Cas game, we all knew that but nothing further. Davies is on crutches, in-growing toe nail or cruciate? Fleming ? Any more I have missed?

I'd expand that and keep the spine of the team the same. Mullaney-Gaskell-Siejka-O'Brien. I can understand replacing players in other positions, but those 4 need plenty of game time playing together to get cohesion.

I agree



Think T&A said Davies was torn ligament - which could be serious or not. Baille was pulled hamstring, didn't seem long term. And assume Ferguson is the ever-present back trouble, but that's just assumption



No idea on Fleming, Blythe or Peterson - or how long they might be out

I don't think this is the time to rest players as we have only just started the season and we need a team that can play well to gather to chop and change now will only cause problems later on.

Just seen the players comments on Bulls TV. They know they blew it and know why. That is really positive. If I was Jimmy I would be a lot more confident about things moving forward than before the leigh game.



The team can come out on Sunday and put some wrongs, right.



Zapperbull- Don't you think that some rotation is needed to keep players sharp, we have a big squad and we do not want to have players getting disillusioned and going off mentally in training.



If we are able to play our better players on a two week rotation and have a "MAIN SQUAD" built out of the form players for the really tough games?

Absolutely right - good observation.... Email sent to club requesting new web page under "On the Pitch"



Can but hope!

Whitehaven are currently without a coach after Steve Deakin quit a week before the start of the new season. They are currently being player coached by Brett Seymour. Other than that I know very little about this team.

Seem to be in turmoil at the moment - reportedly couldn't raise a team for one of their pre-season games and Barrow beat them by about 40 in another. You'll win very comfortably on Sunday - even 'Fax won up there last weekend

- although you have got another 'inexperienced' Championship ref to contend with, just in case Mr Lowes needs any excuses!





Fantastic to see so many Bulls fans at ours last Sunday (



) - you'll probably notice the difference in away support next weekend!
