and like Saints, Wigan and a few others were cheering when we didn't offer Latu a shirt for 2021

I have to agree Charlie that Josh Thewlis should be played at full back for an extended run; he has all the attributes to make the position his own for the next ten years or so that is how highly I rate him having watched him closely for the past three years.

In two out of his first three games he got the Sky MOM award. If that was a Wigan or Saints junior we’d never hear the end of it. I guess it hasn’t helped him that he’s had two very good full backs above him but this is our chamce to settle him into first team action. When Ashton is fit it will be a great problem to have, trying to fit both of them in.

Our younger players are really missing out not having a Reserve competition so they can play to our structures (rather than a loan team) and feel comfortable slotting in and the Coach isn’t taking such a gamble (I guess).

Totally agree. It is not just the younger players. Any player left out or re-turning from injury needs a run out. It is so difficult to not play for a month or even two years and then spring into action.

When you loose a fullback and can replace him with Greg Inglis
When you loose a halfback and can replace him with Blake Austin
When you loose a winger and didn’t need replace him with Lineham

Wow wow wow. If this squad can’t win a a double/treble, we never will.

Not like you to get a bit carried away duckie.

It's certainly. A lot more enjoyable to watch at the minute anyway. Widdop seems a lot. More settled and focussed this season, Inglis is going to be good for us, king, Currie, Clark, Charnley, Hill, Cooper and Mamo are all consistently playing well. Young thewlis is first team ready at 18 so there are a lot of positives to take at the minute. We are still a little Conservative for me but the game last night was controlled really well, took a bit of a fluke to get Catalans on the scoreboard, our defence has been terrific on a few occasions this year.

Yeah. I think this is something we will have to accept for the rest of the year though. Price doesn't have to change his style to suit what the board and fans want because he's got nothing to lose, and we are winning.

Hopefully when the sun is out and it's a bit warmer we will open up a bit more like we did on occasions last summer.

Grade 3 hamstring tear - 8 weeks out (at least)

Nasty.
The body wears out eventually, but hopefully he can repair and come back for the last few months.

I'd be amazed if he turned out for us again, might not be such a bad thing.

Typical injury muscles just not stretching as they used to. I'd be very surprised if he can get back into the team and it would be such a risk that it might go again.

Wish him well, whether he takes to the field once more, or not.

I hope he comes back he was looking decent to me and his knowledge of the game will have been great for our team. We were great against Catalans with him at fullback.

Horrible injury that. Didn't Chris Sandow do same?

He who shall not be named.

Can't we release him and bring in George Williams

As has been posted before on other threads, if Wire just release a player, then he will still count on this season`s salary cap.

Why do that anyway? He's a quality player and his experience around our younger players and even experienced players is a massive trump card. He's one of the best players to ever play the sport.

Who’s that, Andy Currier too?

I can speak his name, but only after I pick up my Diazepam prescription.

?

Lol…
I have finally bowed down with my neck on the block for the axeman.
You got me gud n proper there.

What are this weeks lotto numbers?
