Really looking forward to seeing what Manfredi can do. I'm sure he's looked at the success of Joe Burgess and thought 'I'd love a bit of that' and he's now probably going to get 6-8 games to really make a name for himself.

He's got a lot about him IMO and will grasp his chance with both hands.

I'd play Sarginson outside Goulding and leave thornley & burgess to keep working on their partnership.

Me too, but Wane likes to give the kids their chance.

It was a very brief outing for Sarginson on the wing at Dewsbury but he wasn't overly impressive IMO. His defensive positioning was poor for their try and I'd rather play a natural wingman there rather then a stop gap. If we were to do that I'd stick Sarginson at centre and put Goulding out there who has plenty of experience in the position.

Goulding is the best winger's centre we have. Thornley has a tendency to be too greedy. I would much sooner play Sarginson/Manfredi on the wing and see what they can do when given the ball.

That's a bit of a harsh call when you consider the number of tries Burgess has scored this season to date. 8 tries in competitive games plus 10 in the friendlies.

Manfredi isn't available for this Friday according to the WEP. He'll be available for the first time on Good Friday.

I think you have read the postings incorrectly Rogues; surely dr_feelgood meant either Sarginson/Manfredi to be on the other wing?

That is exactly what I meant Nitsua; Burgess on one wing and Manfredi/Sarg on the other. No point in moving Goulding to the wing and it allows Josh's replacement to play outside a centre who will provide them with a few decent opportunities to show what they can do.

Sorry if I didn't make it clear in my original post Rogues.

Josh's injury isn't as bad as originally suspected, expected to return within the next couple of weeks

That's good news if true. Where did you read that?

According to the SL website Thornley has 0 try assists for this season.
