Cookson looks in best shape deserves a chance, hopefully fitness will show through for him. Need more impact on the field not Hobson on one man mission to give games away!

Cooky was limping somewhat after the reserve game today. There were also rumours emerging that Adam Thomas has started a loan spell with Rochdale.

I guess we'll find out for sure tomorrow.

he seemed to be limping, when he was carrying the water on, on Thirsday. Not fully recovered from his injury, yet?

On the subject of 'spelling' props, I think Stuart Dickens did the full 80, on Thursday! Incredible effort, that, or did we just not tire him enough?

bit of both i suspect

So I would think it unlikely that most teams ' spot ' a spelling prop

Also you look to ' match ' up attackers and defenders , ie Rob Burrows will tend to run at the bigger slower players and you want your bigger forwards to target the opposition H/B s , hooker

We scored a try on thursday when Hilly was left out of the scrum and ran out wide , Saints did something similar I think with graham on friday

What I do know is it is very difficult to ' switch on and off ' playing to certain styles of RL , ' catch up RL ' is the term when you have to start playing off the cuff to score a certain number of points in a given time span

Quite often players end up making themselves look stupid because of how much they are trying to push the game , this then transmits to the fans who get frustrated by mistakes made by players pushing things too far
