Is he back playing for reserves now? Speaking of the reserves, etc. Do you think that if it wasn't against an in-form team like Warrington, Macca would have given Straigheir a shot at centre? It really is annoying that Crookes is injured, as it would be the perfect opportunity for him to gain more first team experience.

Yes to Hyde and no to Straughtier.

It was good to see Whitehead get a longer stint today.

However, is it me or did he look to just walk the ball in and be a little hesitant when he had it? Good offload though.

Perhaps a little, but I thought he showed up pretty well. Doesn't help when seasoned pro's like Lynch are throwing out suicidal offloads to the rookie on our own line! Thought he did well to take that one!

Apparently he was on the end of the disallowed try for obstruction in the 2nd half.. shame for the lad.

Thought he did well too.

The players were fuming about that try. Looked like a set move they had come up with in training. Worked a treat too.
Wouldn't mind seeing it again on reply.
