I like Rhyse Martin consistently good, quality goal kicker, that last game against Castleford he single handedly won for them but time is not on his side. I'm sure he's an improvemnt over Holroyd now but not so sure for how long.

We're not in for Sneyd, i can't see that what so ever. We've got Hayes and Leyland with Ratchford as back up. Sneyd isn't needed. Talking of Ratchford, has anyone heard how he's doing after his head knock on Friday?

[quote="BOSS HOG":22j981fs]Ashton is definitely faster than him, is Dufty the other?[/quote:22j981fs] I seem to remember Briers saying (admittedly when Wrench was younger and before injuries) that Wrench was faster than Ashton over 100m from a standing start? Whereas Ashton is faster hitting the ball running, or something to that effect? Or maybe it was the other way round. I'd have to try and google it. Think it was in the guardian a few years back.

Hayes also in the pics…but not running…

Ashton is no slouch to begin with but he's only really super rapid once he's at full speed because he's more of a rangy runner with a longer stride. We played Wigan away about 3 years ago and Ashton got an intercept. Before he'd got into full flight Jai Field had turned round from running forward and caught him because of how quick he is off the mark.
