Yes, try something different.I’d start with at least one prop in the 13 that take the field.A bit radical perhaps but worth a go.

Playing players in their correct position will never catch on.

If we can get our interchanges right with best props on at the start and the finish we might have a chance. our biggest fault on Sunday (not for the first time) was the static nature of our attacking line, with the ball often going through 2 or 3 pairs of hands before we attempted to move forward. Batley certainly showed us how to run onto the ball, particularly in the last 20! Agree with the comments about Lawton he is a major strike weapon and should be used as such, being brought into the game at pace and backed up  by a halfback or winger for the clever offloads he has in his locker! If we are as static as we were against Batley then you can see York exploiting that, if we can sharpen up a bit then you never know!

Starting 17 looks very light - one real prop in the squad isn't enough!

It’s farcical.

A bench consisting of a prop, centre, winger and a hooker who’s only played 1 game is a joke.

Wow, must be late injuries to Wilde and Clough.

Surely there are half decent props at the likes of Swinton or Rochdale that we could have got, instead of going into the season so light!

Long afternoon ahead I fear!

Very frustrating that we are again going into a match with two outside backs on the bench. Going to be very hard to win now.

Looks like Grady is missing as well now. Replaced by Josh Wilde.

Scratch that last comment which was based on an inaccurate team list posted on twitter!

Another weak bench. No Clough or Cook again. Still we take the lead with an Owens try & converted by Jack.

We signed 3 props in Cook, Jewitt & Clough. Trouble is only Clough has been on the pitch much.

We have started well but with only Farnworth on the bench being a prop we will inevitably tire.
