Perhaps GOB is in the squad with a bench spot in mind, so Ratch can have a spell at loose forward at some point, given the injury problems in the pack?

According to twitter, King is making his first team debut on Sunday. Maybe England hasn't made it, or Riley has been dropped?

I hope it's the latter. I don't want to have a pop at a youngster but Riley was a real liability against Salford, not just with his handling. He has the physique but he needs to take a look at Ben Evans and realise size on it's own doesn't make you a good forward.

He was very poor in the middle of the 2nd half.
2 knock ons with the line broken and something else that I can't bring to mind just after. Perhaps a penalty? ?

shortly after his knock ons, the Salford players were running rings around him at the play the ball to which the crowd got a bit nasty towards him, he was making Paul Rauhihi look fast. Tony Smith brought him off instantly after this, so i would assume King is in for Riley.

Miss out

Glenn Riley

Why move Ratch out of the haves where he has been great? Are you putting him in the forwards so RA can be left out? Moving Ratch to 13 opens him up to a battering from their forwards, we need him fit for the upcoming games which will dictate our season.

In fact should we rest Ratch and put GOB in with Bridgey? Ratch along with Hilly, Super Ben & Chris Bridge are players who if we lost to long term injury at this juncture would be catastrophic for our prospects.

Grix interchanging with Higham at hooker and Ratch with GOB at loose.

Lol
Warrington are 1/66 to beat Bradford.

No Hill or Bridge today I'm told.

Bridge not playing , Ratch and O'Brien in halves, Bradford + 30 might be worth a look !!

No C Bridge.

No C Hill.

Its all too obvious what is missing today!

then again maybe not , what a blitz at the start of the 2nd half !

Russell was man of match for me, not Ratchford, also why play O'Brien and not let him kick for goal.

Its not obvious?
Because should Bridge receive an injury during a game then Ratchford will take over.
GOB is very likely in only for 1st experience and to rest Bridge in an easy game.

Rathcford was outstanding today. Pity only 9K could be d turning up. V poor attendance, again.

9000 today and 10000 last week was more than I expected tbh.

I never doubted that we'd put a big score on them today, so I thought it was a clever decision to give the youngsters some game time. Bradford could not keep apace with our dummy half running thanks to Higham, Ratchford and Russell in particular, but I thought O'Brien had an excellent game, Dwyer was lively when he came on and King made a solid debut. Ormsby however showed inexperience and made a couple of school-boy errors that we would be cursing in a tighter game, anyhow I expect he'll learn from those or he'll be following Chris Riley...

P.s. I feel a bit sorry for Bradford in the situation they're in, and couldn't join in with the few who chanted about them being sh*t and going down.

I was surprised at today's attendance, it looked like Bradford brought similar numbers to what Salford did, so it's those in the P&B that didn't turn up.

Looks like the London game could be are lowest gate this season.

Does anyone know how the cup ticket sales are doing

Anyone know what the injury to grix was, it looked like is shoulder had gone??

Shoulder popped out, popped it back in and tried to carry on the unit.

Will miss next week but shouldn't be out for too long.

Not heard anything official but the club shops always got people in there buying them so I'd say we'll be close to selling our lot by August
