Watching the Sky highlights of the Catalans game, I'm sure Sherwin was off the field from early in the first half and didn't come back on.

Yet this doesn't seem to be mentioned in any reports I've seen and there is no 'injury update' on the official site or anywhere else.

Anyone know what happened?

He was substituted but TM says we suffered no injuries.

Something not stacking up here. Why would you sub your scrum-half early in the first half if he's not injured?

Who is Brett Sherwin ?

Brents long lost brother

If he's younger with 2 good legs sign him on!

He struggling with form so may be TM thought that it was best to take him off,or could be the wind was very strong so may have wanted a better defender on the pitch rather than a good kicking game!

he came back on in the second – not sure when though

Well I didn't see him on the field for any of our tries between 39-63. Correlation there is we're okay without him. Don't get me wrong, Catalan are struggling and a fit Sherwin will without a doubt be beneficiary to us. In the mean time *cough Brierley cough*?

Agree,would like to see Brierley get alittle game time this year.

I know some say he isnt big enough yet,but....

As a club we looked at Rob Burrow(said to be too small), we also said the same with Gareth Ellis

.

Also,we have to ask ourselves this,IF Sam Tomkins(hardly muscular) was at Cas would he have got chance like he got at Wigan last year?

Maybe young Ryan should talk in a aussie twang,get barred from Xscape and get to work on a beer gut to get T.M's attention

I have said it loads of times on here - If we play him and he makes some mistakes and we get beat - at least we get something out of it in terms of development, learning and that's good for the future.

Patching Shifty up to play at 40%, or concocting a back rower to play hopelessly out of position at 6 and ruin Rangi's game as well is not only stupid, but also doesn't offer us anything in the midterm.....

BUT!!!!!!! and here it is, if we play some kids then booing them off at half time and getting on the teams backs will not help, so everyone has a responsibility.

He's got T.M's attention,hopefully a bit of game time won't be that far off.

Disagree completely with that statement. I feel a cup run is our only chance of winning anything or coming near to winning something.

Yeah I agree with that ^. Plus on our day I do think we're capable of springing a surprise or two. However the league requires consistency, something we're not.


I still can't understand how we beat Catalan with no scrum half and no full back (in theory).

They had no stand off and a full back who was injured during the game. We were as bad as each other i guess.

Yeah, they got a good 65 minutes out of Greenshields though didn't they, played a wonderful part in their final try. A lot of teams getting some crucial injuries this season, seems more then ever.

=#0080FFSo when would you give Brierley his chance? Against Wigan? Against Quins? There's arguments for and against every single game he could play in the first grade. Or do we just not play him at all?

I think the fact that he hasn't been included in any squads so far this season suggests he's not ready for Super League in the eyes of TM and the management but if he's ever going to replace Mr Sherwin he's got to be given a chance to prove himself.

If there is any confidence in his ability we should not see playing him against Barrow as a risk anyway.

The problem with bringing youngsters through is fans demand wins, it's hard to see the positives of giving a youngster a chance to play if it comes at a cost.

I don't really know the answer to this one, I'm just thinking out loud.

How about the last few games of the season?

=#0080FFWhat if we're chasing a playoff position?

I don't want to sound overly cynical but I doubt we will be.

I doubt it.

=#0080FFI think we will be.

We've played a lot of tough games so far this season. The next 6-10 games should see us with a much better chance of picking up some wins, particularly as players return from injury.

A complete no show yesterday. On the bench first half and did absolutely nothing instrumental second half.

Not worth the wage for what he plays

Not worth anything mate, clearly busted up and needs to retire. At the moment sherwin is just getting his wage for nothing. Is he even traaining yet ???? he should hang up his boots and let us look elsewhere..... our squad is not big enough to carry passengers.
