Not really a fan of friendlies, but with it being the start of the new Tim Sheens era and a host of new players plus trialists to witness for the first time, I am looking forward to getting along to Rochdale on Sunday and supporting the lads. Rochdale always a ground I enjoy attending too.
Any more of the die hards on here going along?
Hopefully the start of a season where we do better than expected.
I’m going. Not really sure what to expect in terms of the line up but could be more interesting than the average friendly. Think some of the trialists will get a run out.
I have heard it will be a reserve team rather than the main squad, not sure how many new or establised players will be on show. Was thinking of going but I’ll wait to see a squad I think.
Just checked, Hulme is a hooker and son of Paul Hulme, Wood is also a hooker from Rochdale and younger brother of Wakefield hooker Josh Wood. Case is a centre/second rower from Rochdale and Williams is a full back that got injured while playing under Sheens at Salford.
Would be good to have a link to put the fixtures in your phone calendar…
You’re joking right? There is a link to do that!
Ignore me…. back 2 mins and not reading properly
There once was a man called Simon Finnegan,
With grey whiskers on his chinnegan.
Sheens f*cked off and he was in again.
Our man Simon Finnegan, begin again

Williams was highly rated at Salford, sheens took him to HKR as well but he never made an appearance as far as I’m aware due to his injury
If he is over it and it’s stable he could be a useful acquisition
