gannon showed more promise than walters who looks like a young morley without the speed or aggression

Talking of resilience shown last night, Agar has to show tonnes of it putting up with Peter smiths repeating of questions already been asked on these zoom calls and dealing with his turgid style. How Agar refrains from smashing his laptop or at the very least putting Smith on mute I don't know.

I don't think playing Harry twice in three days after such a bad injury is wise, asking for re-injury.

Furthermore, if we play a full side on Sun and then lose, we are then stuck with a busted side trying to win there 3rd match in 8 days whereas we are good enough to rest a couple who require it so that we have a more refreshed side for Cas too. I would only be resting Prior and Newman that being said. Constantly overplaying players will not bring success either.

Isn’t that the same for any club?

Take dudson and Kasiano out of Catalans and they look a bit light
Take walmsley and Lees out of Saints they look a bit light
Take hill and Cooper out of Warrington they look a bit light

We can’t have 10 props in the squad who are all decent players because they will all want to play. If we need some back up we need to look at some younger development players who get a couple of games a season if we get an injury. Not spending loads of cap on players who might only play if we have a couple of props out.

Totally agree its all about balance. I'm comfortable with our props now plus Thompson can fill in. I would replace Thompson when he is off contract with an out out prop.

Is it true that Mellor has done his MCL?

He confirmed it on his Instagram he's done for this season. Which is a shame, he's been very consistent last month or so as well I like Mellor as a back rower does his job might not look flashy every week but is consistent and strong player for me.

We shouldn't have signed him in the first place and gone for that all-out prop IMO. We got seduced because he was available and cheap.

I was literally thinking how much improved he's been over the last month or so and then he popped the knee.

suppose it doesn't help that all the 2nd rows are bang average and expect more from the other 3 and there's only been prior not missing significantly
hopefully bentley will make a difference

Is there no disciplinary hearing before tomorrow’s match?

Yes. Mamo and Myler both cleared to play. Only Wynne charged from all games.
