Apparently the loss of interchange rule has been suspended, so eastmond could well be playing

Whoever plays in 2nd row will benifit from having first choice half backs inside them and first choice centres outside them. Agree that Mellor and Martin haven't look great so far, but not for the lack of effort. Think Walters will slowly improve to the point where he ousts one of them from the starting 13. How soon is up to him.

Big hopes for Gannon, his Father was huge, big dirty forward, Gannon and his brother will both make it. I understand his brother plays for Warrington ( no doubt someone will tell me I’m wrong). I think they live in Halifax.

Eastmond is fit for this week. Don’t know who will partner him in the backs, Smith more likely to play alongside him, Martin I back into the second row.

We have too many injuries at the moments while the pack have been really good and held their own we need some experience in the backs. For some reason we have had too many freak injuries these last few weeks, but the future is looking good with the kids. If there good enough let them play,

Have got my seats for the rest of the season in the Directors suite, starting with the Sunday game in May. Happy I am.

totally agree, fully expected Chapman to end up on the studio floor picking the balls up., whilst smartar$e Wilkin looked on . Lets all have them in flat caps with a whippet each for the next round. The BBC would love that.

I'll believe that when I see it.....!

He's openly said at least once to my knowledge that this is a big year and wants to extend his contract with us.
