Newman and Mellor return to the 21 man squad.

With Holroyd banned for the next 10 and Mustapha the next 5, we really need Oledzki, Tetevano and Prior to stay injury free and ban free in that period.

A mid season out of favour player signing or a loaner wouldn’t go amiss

Amazing and Meh

Hear what you are saying AC.
But for me I would much rather see a prop forward sticking up for himself then getting bullied.
For me 10 games was about 4 games too many considering what happened and what has happened before.
But each to their own.

No cap space i believe after signing Hardhaker

I’d gladly make Tetevano and Prior available after their performance tonight.

I’m yet to see Tetevano put in any performance worthy of his salary or reputation. Prior is all but finished for me, we need to be trying to replace them both for next season.

Think we're going to be very dissapointed on the front row recruitment.

Yep…no props left as Warrington have signed them all





You just never know with us though as just about all the business we do is very secretive and hardly anyone gets to know about it until maybe 24-36 hours before the actual announcement.

Warrington are in a right mess and who knows if their new signings will prove to be more of the usual duds they seem to sign….but at least they are attempting to do something to address their lack of size and power in the front row and if the two further rumoured NRL signings happen, they’ve got 5 new props for next season (including the one who has just arrived for the rest of this season)

How many reserve games can Holroyd tick off from his 10?

Walker and Sezer both expected back next game according to their interviews. Walker still has a box to tick on a sprint session though.

Interesting to see what happens re full back and halves, going to be some dissapointed players which is good to have. I'm guessing it'll be Zak, Austin and Sezer.

I think that’s the preference. Do we think either myler or Walker finds a way onto the bench? Probably instead of Dwyer?

None, doesn’t return until Warrington on 19th August, giving him four games until the plays off if we are involved.

No real value having a semi utility fullback on the bench, though hoping to see Johnson start to cement a place

True, I agree we need to see what we’ve got there.

If you were looking to get our best players all on the park you'd probably go Myler, Fustiu'a, Newman, Hardaker, Handley, Austin, Sezer.

That would involve sticking Hardaker in the centre which I don't really like as it's not his best position - but it accommodates everyone, at the expense of Sutcliffe who has shown a few flashes but not enough to justify his place.

2 matches each for Thompson and Newman refer to tribunal Tetavano grade D

No saints players charged, what a surprise.

The Triibunal has lost its mind this year, but Tetevano deserves everything he gets, and our discipline is just terrible still. Peter Smith said 4 reds and 11 yellow cards in 17 games. Even if half are OTT, that's a ridiculous number of spells during games with less than 13 on the park, which cause us to leak points and then the suspensions following.

Absolute pi$$ take to ban Newman and Thompson for 2 games.
Due to the incompetent display by the referee it has clearly led to frustration by Newman.
Yes he was stupid to react but 2 games is OTT.
One game max for Thompson.
Let`s hope we appeal.

Both right for me 1) We can't have players abusing refs 2) A trip should still be a sending off offence for me

2 games for Newman is insane. He's a young kid with an impeccable record... I am at my wits end with this season..

It’s the time to just laugh and take it on the chin. No consistency, OTT in tough contact sport. Not much more we can do as more and more people drift away……

How has Walmsley got away with a shoulder charge and running in and escalating the situation with Tetevano. I’d be wanting answers if I was GH and the club.
