I wondered if a change to Friday night might be coming

We are Wire, nobody likes us, Sky don’t like us...
We don’t care.

Are you okay Duckie?

Counselling and Guidance for Duckie

Not as gutted as the board at Wire, as he would have added a fair few on the gate in times gone by, for his belated debut. That's if and when he plays, though.

Is the Rovers game available pay per view on Our League or is it for season pass holders only?

It's only available for Season Ticket holders / Members, not PPV.

Thank you.

That’s a shame.

Season ticket holders only.

"Greg will be in the 17 this weekend," Steve Price said.

"We’ve made the decision about where he will play but I won’t be saying too much. Whether its off the bench or starting, you will find out later in the week.

"It’s exciting for the club and it’s exciting for Greg.

"There’s no expectation from our point of view, we just want to see him enjoying his rugby again.

"He’s on schedule. He hasn’t played for two seasons and he’s had to get his body right.

"I’ve said all along that we have a responsibility to make sure Greg can stay out there hopefully for the duration of the season.

"He’s in good shape, mentally he’s good and that’s the main thing from our perspective.

"He’s definitely ready to play 80 minutes. He’s worked hard and if we felt he couldn’t play 80 minutes, we wouldn’t put him out there this weekend."

There’s no expectation from our point of view, we just want to see him enjoying his rugby again.

I hope he only means for the first couple of run outs. I've got expectations that he'll significantly contribute to some form of success else we've signed someone for reasons other than rugby and I cba with that

"He’s definitely ready to play 80 minutes. He’s worked hard and if we felt he couldn’t play 80 minutes, we wouldn’t put him out there this weekend."

Okay Pricey, but you've put BMM, Latu, Sita, Tasi (and some might say Roberts too) out there when they couldn't play 80 mins

I expect him to smash it up and bag a brace. If he’s rusty I’ll not be impressed. I don’t forget how to ride a bike.

I am guessing he will start on the wing. I would do that but I have been wrong many times.

I think he’ll start right centre

Not sure of your point Shiny but let's hope Inglis gets through the first few tackles, then half-an-hour etc. I don't know, you don't know and Steve Price won't know.
Let's say this ... first few times he gets the ball will be fun.

I would definitely not move Mamo.
He has scored two cracking tries to win (help win) the last two games.
Mamo could be more important, long term, than Inglis.

Inglis at centre, Mamo on the wing - countless tries with Greg breaking the line on halfway and offloading to Jake to sprint home !

Yep okay, wake up, the ball doesn't usually get to winger, it'll be Widdop kick to Inglis on 5th, who taps it down to Mamo to go in from 5m out.

I'd be surprised if he doesn't start on the bench, Mamo should not be dropped at all so Inglis on the bench or mamo on the Wing with Inglis at right centre.

It should be an interesting selection this week as we don't know if Austin will still be on the naughty step. I quite liked last weeks change around with Ratchford to the halves.

I think I might be tempted to bring back Thewliss, then you can have Johnny Inglis in the centres and Mamo on the wing and switch around to put Mamo back in the centre and Thewliss off the bench to the wing if the old man needs a rest.

Alternatively if Austin has been pardoned, you could put Ashton on the bench and use him to switch to wing when Mamo goes back to centre.


....................... I think I will take an aspirin and lie down for a bit now.

I'd agree with that, I think we will need some backs cover on the bench just in case. I suppose Austin offers the same really though as Ratchford could go to fullback and Ashton to the wing with Mamo going to centre. It's a real shame we won't get to see his debut.

True, but it would give Inglis more time to concentrate on promoting his shirt sales.

Mamo cannot be dropped. Charnley to miss out for me, and id leave Thewlis in the side also, him and Mamo was excellent against Catalans. Yes Inglis was class but has he still got it? If he plays centre and Mamo is dropped, we have then dropped our only attacking try scoring right edge man! is that fair?

I’d like to see him in that right centre position. Mamo on the wing, and unfortunately Thewlis would drop out.

The issue comes next week when Lineham is available. I can’t see how Mamo can be left out, unless he selects Inglis in an unfamiliar position, ie: right second row. I’m not advocating that, but I seem to remember when he signed that he mentioned about playing in the pack.

For me, if he’s fit and anywhere near what he was, he needs to play fullback. Best players should touch the ball the most in the most important areas.

I suspect Mamo is "undroppable but not unmoveable" if Inglis starts then Mamo on the wing would be my guess. Price's comments about him being able to do 80 minutes suggests Inglo will start.
