Interesting squad - Owens and craven back in, no farnworth
so the question is are they all fit or are we just filling the numbers.
if craven fit I would play him, Jack on bench at best
thoughts ?
OF is part-time. Maybe he is working?
What's happened to Ryan Millar ?
Belshaw said in a radio interview that might be week too early for Owens so guessing he's just a number that'll play no part ...be interesting with craven because his Instagram story suggested he was ready to go against Whitehaven but played no role ....
I'd be sticking with Lyons and Gilmore for the time being, they have done ok in the last month:we have actually played some decent football.
yeah kind of agree ...only thing with craven is he's got a better kicking game than Lyons and carries a running threat but on other hand can't take risks n he breaks down again ..I'd have craven every day of the week but would be harsh dropping LyonsI'd be sticking with Lyons and Gilmore for the time being, they have done ok in the last month:we have actually played some decent football.
If the rumors are true that Owens Craven Farnworth etc are leaving for oldham then maybe they will already have one foot out the door and we will play the lads looking to next season retainment

Horney Pascal thinks your probably correct. Not bothered about Craven and Owens going next year. Farnworth I like to keep but not the end of the world if goes too. Hopefully win and get more confidence for the business end of the season 🥖🥖💪👌
Owens is contracted for next season (his testimonial season)

What's happened to Ryan Millar ?
I doubt anything has happened with him, as with Craven / Owens / Ince he has been injured and not yet able to regain his place in the team.
Assuming no other injuries, I'd go with Edge, Dixon, Fleming, Roberts, Brookes, Lyons, Gilmore, Field, Fozard, Lawton, Wilde, Grady and Davies. Subs being Forber (pity we can't sign him permanently, is showing great potential), Walker, Hatton and Brown.
Lawton, for me, is better in the second row playing wider than as a Middle, he seems though to be preferred as a prop now particularly as no Farnworth.
After their final play of the game win against us last week, they'll be "up for it" big style, so we need a favour from you to turn 'em over please!
Spelly.
I agree with Sunny's team for Newcastle.
Regarding Owens I have not seen anywhere he is rumoured to be going to Oldham.The three mentioned were Craven, Farnworth & the lad who came from Oldham the other year whose name escapes me at the moment.
As regards Owens he is contracted for next year but I prefer Edge longterm to be honest. If Jack does not want to leave we may have to honour his contract. However I would take the captaincy off him as his form has dipped since he has had that responsibility. I think he should be told he will be more of a squad player to cover injuries in the backs. We do miss his long cut out passes that result in many tries but this year that has been more than offset by his numerous unforced errors. He has always been a confidence player & if something goes wrong his game goes to pieces.
Bent was the third player linked with a return to Oldham.
