Yeah Brown must be in the 17, or no point him replacing a player that didn't play

Can’t quite get my head round why fans are quick to drop Mcintosh but claim Scott had a good game?

Both dropped up and unders and yet both Wigan tries were scored on Scott’s wing. His positioning for the second was poor.

Mcintosh ran for over 100m and scored a try.

Neither were perfect and have a lot of room for improvement but only one seems to get criticised?

Just don’t get it.

This is nail on head stuff. McIntosh made a few errors against Wigan. 3 of them weren’t actually errors.

- One, Wigan were offside so technically he gained us a pen lol. But seriously, he would’ve pouched it without the added pressure.
- There was also the interception he knocked on which was a forward pass. Had the pass been spot on he pouches it again.
- Then there was the knockdown that stopped a certain try.

Scott on the other hand dropped a few kicks and had a few errors in his game. It’s understandable as he’s not a natural winger. Darnell also a better finisher, let him play and hopefully find his confidence.

Right now any player who can tackle with 90% plus efficiency would be more effective than lane. When Tex is back we could play litten there for fun. Would make more metres and miss less tackles
If I was TS, I’d be ringing round amateur clubs seeing if they have any lads to replace Jordan lane. But seriously, give Nick Stavely a go. Has played big minutes and a poor side and stood up well. Put his hand up as Prop, Loose, second row and now centre. Should’ve brought him back and given him a go. If he out of his depth then we’re in the same place we started

Agree based on last week performance McIntosh should be in.

I'd be tempted to drop Lane, have Scott on the bench and play a prop in the backrow (Brown, Fash or Sao), be hard to do much worse

Maybe play Sutcliffe as a roaming 13, play Scott at centre, where he normally plays, and bring in Baron. I'd drop McIntosh. After seeing him live and then on TV again against Wigan, he looks terrified and his bottle looks to have gone. The attempt to field that first up and under was an utter shambles and embarrassing - he'd be better getting his nerve and confidence back in the reserves, then he may come back into the fold in a better place , head wise. If he plays, Wakey will surely pepper him with similar, which won't help him at all, and this time we may not be so lucky.

3rd best player on the pitch against Wigan

Cator is out injured Brown is in.

That's a big loss, will miss his workrate and energy.

Good chance for Brown to impress.

Fair play just think Cam has been more consistent but like I said i'd like to see Cam on the bench covering back row and the backs.

Mcintosh has earned his spot in the 17 for me, had a good game against Wigan, made loads of ground out of backfield, needs to keep his place. If swift is fit it should be a straight swap swift in scott out (or maybe on the bench) for this week.

any idea on severity of the injury?

Just a knock

he received a blow to the face.The area around his eye was badly swollen.
This has to be the reason if he is out

Swift should be free to play so that's a bonus.

Lane will play.TS will keep changes to a minimum.

Fash badly with Tonsillitis he’s doubtful

We're gunna get beat.....

Did think about Scott starting, but more likely in the back row with Lanr at 13

getting short on forewards.we should have had at least 1 foreward lined up to replace evans and savelio.

Well thy're both still at the club and available for selection so their replacements are the players selected ahead of them.

This would have been a good time to give Staverley his debut and would have even been tempted to give Kye Armstrong a game with the players we have out l.

My prediction too........but not by many.
