Hello and welcome to our Thursday evening edition of The Valiant for February 20.

We’ve got talking points and injury news from Darren Moore’s press conference this afternoon, are looking at issues from the meet-the-manager evening and are previewing Saturday’s game at home to Salford.

But that’s just a fraction of this evening’s coverage with lots more news, analysis, opinion and nostalgia.
