For me, our best line-up would have Ratchford at full-back, the pace of Ashton and Mamo on the wings, and Inglis and King at centre. Depending on Inglis actually being what we hope he will be, of course. Harsh on Charnley and Lineham, but something's got to give.

This is why I'm umming and ahhhing about having him as a bit of a running 6 should Austin remain dropped. He'd have protection in tackling from inside and outside and would have the chance to distribute rather than run it if he needs a breather. Let Gaz run the game and Inglis chime in when he wants

All you bods suggesting moving mamo to the wings are giving me flashbacks to him attempting to catch high balls, when he was playing wing.


I'd keep austo dropped, he looked a lot more solid in defence at the weekend, right side has been a mish mash in defence this year till the past weekend,

The opposition are sometimes going to kick to you, whether you are playing wing, full-back or centre. There is a perception among some fans that Mamo can't catch a high ball and never will be able to, but you would hope this is one reason why we have coaching and training - to improve players' skills and abilities. So if catching high balls was a weakness of Mamo's, let's hope it has improved. And anyway, I think his positives outweigh his negatives. The bottom line is that I always think we look a better and more dangerous team with Mamo in it.

Mamo has never been able to catch high balls effectively. It was the same at Huddersfield and the Newcastle Knights. What he does give is effort, tackle busting and speed. Being at centre hides him from those high kicks as they predominantly go to the winger and fullback.

There is also no way you can put Inglis at fullback having not played for 18 months. It is probably the hardest position to play aerobically. He needs to be eased in.

At centre, yes. You put him at wing or fb and you're increasing the odds of a cock up, and trust me, all the goodwill he has garnered will disappear in one knock on that leads to a try

And fair play to the lad he did say when he arrived he wanted to try and play centre and thats where his best form has come.

And we wonder why the sport is lightyears behind a lot of other sports in this country.

Greg Inglis, one of the greatest ever to play the game of RL and one of the biggest signings in Super League history, makes his debut on Saturday, on the OurLeague app, where only Wire and HKR fans can watch, whilst Super League has just signed a greatly-reduced TV deal with Sky Sports, who won't be broadcasting the game anyway.

I must admit, I’m frustrated at having to watch it on the stream as opposed to being there in person or a proper broadcast. It seems like this moment is going to pass many people by, but this guy is one of the greats! Not just blue and yellow bias, but Greg Inglis is heralded as future immortal regularly.

This is the knock on effect from people illegally streaming, whats the point in sky investing.

What’s that got to do with Saturdays game? Sky should have adjusted the scheduling for maximum exposure. It is in the game's best interests. Fox would have broadcasted it in Aus and the reach would have been far greater. They don’t invest because they don’t care not because people find ways and means to watch it. People find ways and means to watch football, rugby union, cricket they aren’t affected. Folk will find means and ways to watch anything they want! Sky not showing this game just sums up what they think of RL at the minute and how important it is to them. It’s a bit of a disgrace that its not being shown live on Sky yet tomorrow Salford v Castleford is.

People shuddered when Matchroom sports we're rumoured to be interested in our sport. That's our problem the "dont want any of that crap" brigade who think everyone will buy into the sport out of some organic interest.

Matchroom sports made 2 blokes throwing darts at a board appealing to the nation and will make some decent £ off Chisora vs Parker on ppv and it isn't even a title fight.

If not them we need someone willing to market us. Christ we were in the papers more when Koukash was mouthing off and drumming up interest than we are now when one of the future immortals is about to play his first game in SL

Couldn’t agree more. The narrow, defeatist, us against the world mindset is holding back the game. We have chased off new money, yes he was a bit of an idiot, but he kept a club alive that have since been to Old Trafford and Wembley.

We turned our noses up at genuine sport marketers, and complain that the rugby press is union biased.

We’re a minority sport acting like one. We need to open our minds to more.

Best players dictate the ball in certain areas. If have he has an issue which seems to be case the flight should be booked.

It's not being shown as a PPV on Ourleague , it's for club season ticket holders only.

Fair enough, it's just there is a link on my live stream page to pay for all games, so I've wrongly assumed that meant [ianyone[/i could pay a fee for the day like NOW TV.

thats for all the championship games, they're available to all

Fwiw I'm no season ticket holder but i.ll have it on..as for those who think sky should of moved it so it can be televised why..if he was fit from day one he would of played against cas but no he wasn't..hardly sky's fault..all being well those who feed sky's back pocket will get a glimpse of Gregg's the week after when we play cats in the cup

Could be lucky may get a whole minute on the Super league show.

Yes, it was all nicely set up for week 1. Wire vs. Cas would already have been the pick of the round and GI's debut would have been the icing on the cake as far as Sky and the neutrals were concerned. As it was neither GI nor the rest of the Wire team showed up.

Sky and the rest of the league can't be expected to keep switching their schedules in the hope that 'this will be the week'. If you were a fan of one of the teams scheduled to be on Sky this weekend, and you didn't have an OurLeague pass, but your match got bumped in order to accommodate the Wire then you'd be a bit miffed.

FWIW if you've got a legitimate straightforward way of watching the game live without being a member I'm sure many of us would appreciate it if you shared it please.

Simple..i.ll be off round my son's house who will have it on..all legitimate..just like yourself .

So you won't "have it on" as your post suggested, but your son will.

Fair enough.

A half-season ticket costs about £100 and the way things are going you’ll be able to attend those games from mid-June, and you can watch the stream in the meantime . Also helps out the club with short-term cash.

It all depends on how COVID has affected your finances. Some have saved more money, others have had their income ravaged.

Legit as long as either you are in a 'bubble' with your son or you are viewing from the garden of course
