Think we're still in a desperate situation and can barely field a team. Still think we should be resting everyone we can who's not 100%. Would guess after the next fortnight off we'll see no more of Radders.

Someone speaking sense at last..

He's hardly pushing Andy Lynch for quality, experience, and a proven ability to play long minutes either.

bit of thread drift but on the subject of injuries, where's Heremaia?

They'd have to play if we didn't have the cop out of Radford.

Don't understand your last comment really, seems to just be a dig. Very constructive.

Green's not the issue. Or he shouldn't be.

If Agar was doing this there'd be uproar on here.

been dropped to make way for Andy Last

Why is Radford a cop out? would you rather we play 4 or 5 inexperienced players against a first team Wigan outfit?
Like PG said wouldn't do them any good. I trust his experience and knowledge too.

So what you're saying is that we should always play the youngsters regardless of whether it's the best option or not?

Did you read the posts I was responding to? Only you seem to have missed the point.


There was uproar on here whenever Agar did anything. However I can pretty much guarantee that had Agar played the youngsters as much as Gentle has then the reaction to 'doing this' would be similar to what it is now - one or two folk getting their knickers in a twist for no apparent reason while the majority look on in puzzlement.

Is he mentally ready?

With all due respect I would imagine the coaching staff will know if Green is ready to play against 2 of the best packs in Super League in the space of 7 days and I would hope they have Chris Greens development at the forefront of their minds.

Got to ease a young prop into Super League.

Radford will play prop if Whiting's fit. Which one of Bowden or Pitts do you want to drop to accommodate him?

Pitts and Bowden will both play I think even if whiting is fit

Right ok, so in that instance then we're probably dropping Kent. Doesn't seem fair, IMO.

tying a noose, anyone else want one?

He was joking



Heremaia had surgery on his neck and will be out for the next couple of months.

I'm borrowing Marfa's. She'll be using it for a few minutes early next week, then I'm having it.

Disagree. If Martin doesn't make it, playing Radford with Whiting filling in at centre is far better than bringing Lyne in IMO.

That's still on the assumption that Nicklas or Lyne will be on the bench. I don't expect either to feature if the squad's fully fit.

Nicklas is starting with Seymour being out. We probably will go with 4 forwards on the bench now.

Bench of Moa, Bowden, Whiting and Kent?

I expect Whiting to start and Pitts be on the bench.

Radders on bench

That's what I'd go with (or start Moa and have Radford on the bench).

I would've thought PG may go with similar interchanges re Radford as the derby. Radford to start 10/15 min spell, 10 mins either side of HT and if not blowing to hard then 10 at the end.
