Injuries aside, we need as much consistency in positions as possible. That inconsistency contributed to our poor form in recent seasons. You need partnerships all over the park, centres and wingers for example.

I’d keep Rapana at FB, Pryce at 6, Cust to 14.


When we get chance, I’d let Moy and Charles go out on loan. They’ve both had a tough SL baptism over the past year. They need to go and play in the Championship for a while and learn their trade being a bigger fish in a smaller pond. 


Tough games coming up. We’ll be underdogs v Warrington, Rovers and Wigan in the coming weeks. If we can put our best performance together, we can win at least one of these games. Main thing is we compete and keep developing as a team to allow us to stay in the mix for the plays offs.

I wonder if we maybe start Cust at 9 rather than Bourouh. Now we have Pryce at 6 would like to see how we go spelling our hookers, plus means Amir isn't doing full 80 again. 

I would also maybe start Ese'ese and have Knight on the bench. I know having them together was effective but when they were both go off we didn't look so good in the middle


On the FB debate, I feel that Hardaker might be the best option but he is also our best option at centre so not sure, at least we have options 1 - 5 unlike the back row

Or saints. It's like they paly the loop fixtures then start the season again

Have to agree about Litten at FB. Was far too lapsydasical for my liking.

I think Cust played well at Catalans also. He’s perhaps less spectacular than Sezer but when fit I’d have him in. Whilst Balmforth is unavailable Hutchinson could have a bench spot. Cartwright is mindful of too much youth I think. As you say Bourouh is doing it tough at the moment but I thought he made metres in the cup game? 

I think that is the case. So, our home games so far against Wigan & Leigh and our away games at Cats & Wire (this Sat) are the four loop games. Then the main season commences.


If we are to have the loop fixtures then I don't see why rounds 1-11 can't comprise everyone else playing each other once, rounds 12-22 are the reverse games with the four loop games at the back end of the year, with Magic fitted in where applicable.


I understand why we have the loop games, as the clubs need to have more than eleven homes games for income reasons, but they could undoubtedly be thought out a little better.
