So it looks like something may have to change st halfback if this is true. Looks like it's what a lot of us have been asking for but wouldn't want it this way. www.totalrl.com/fax-waiting-murrell/

Watch us bring Connor Robinson in and leave Johnno at fullback.

Muzza is our captain and if he's fit, he should play imo. Looking forward to ccup week as some of our lads look like they in need of a rest.

Murrell is the sort of player who you would have to chop his hand off to stop him playing. He has been doing it tough for us this year, we need him in the team I would just prefer him at 13 though.

the line he hits to make the break before his first try was a forwards line and if we're debating jonno as a starter at half back would like to see murrell used on an edge to improve our handling out wide. RM time to earn yer living. UTFAX

One of a few players who is living on his past performances right now. Would save Marshall from having to make the tough (but correct) decision to leave him out anyway.

Now been confirmed, hopefully we will not miss his enthusiasm but now is the time for others to stand up and be counted.

Ach - he can play with one hand, surely.

where it confirmed and how long he expected to be missing ?

Well we know that you do Griff.

It's a 4 week injury so knowing Scott he'll be back for the next game. Ben K is also out with concussion.

cheers.

I know they are 2 of our most experienced and consistent performers, but we do have some young lads at hooker and halves that need to take this chance and really put pressure on RM, and give him a section headache. All in a good way of course, at some point the youngsters have to turn potential into reality, let's hope it starts this weekend.

Other question who will captain the side now?

They would have to be on the pitch for 80 I would assume and I'd say our senior pro is Tyrer?

Or Ambler I'd say, but obviously not for full 80.

Tyrer to captain. Miles will come in at Full Back I imagine, or even Sharp/Salts to FB with Saxton/Eccleston coming in on the wing. Maneely to start with the young lad off the bench. He sounds good enough from the pre-season games, so why not worth chancing against Leigh.

give manu the captaincy and let him loose

I agree but I wouldn't be surprised to see Conner Robinson and Ryan being the start and interchange hookers.

Come again.

shame that scott is out for a couple of weeks but its a chance for miles and jonno to play in his favourite position we all keep asking for this lets hope it pays off . Think we will really struggle this week hope im wrong UTFAX
