Burrow at starting hooker is...eccentric.

My previous optimism for a win tonight is fast evaporating.
I fear for another Cas-type drubbing.

In fairness to Macv I can see the tactic there, Hill Simms, Westwood and Westerman are all starting and all are not very mobile, perhaps burrow could catch them cold early doors

What I dont understand is how Walters (and arguably Delaney) can get picked over Baldwinson (or Oledski for that matter), especially when Wire are playing with the previously mentioned big pack

Are you having a laugh with that one? Westerman and Hill are very mobile. In fact looking at our starting pack, other than Sutcliffe they are more mobile than any of our other pack members.

I fear more about Patten back in for them, with a point to prove. A cracking player who can become very good.

Your second statement by the way is very much right.

no. its bloody stupidity

and 3 props flogged to death again with an ineffectual walters on the bench.
I like BM but just occasionally he has these WTF is he playing at moments.

I hope he proves me wrong but i'm glad I tipped warringtonb

It's an odd one with Burrow unless Parcell is struggling a little with an injury and he wants to protect him from the early exchanges.

The three prop thing confuses me. it's like he wants to make it harder on his players.

and it so obviously didn't work last week, despite people saying it did simply because we won

Hetherington states that Mcdermott has four games to save his job and he comes up with the goods. A strong 17 with clear roles, committed defence, decisive interchanges and an off the cuff attack.

Now the first game after he's off the hook and he seems to lose the plot selection wise. I'm hoping the performance is closer to the last four games than 2016.

That shot from Westy should have been a red... shoulder to the head?

100% red. and phil Clarke was silent

Why didn the video ref say anything?

We are probably a man down for the game and they are only down to 12 for 10 mins

For such a clear shoulder to head off the ball...it can't get worse really.

lol Child can't help but give against us. the Hall push was nothing. can see us getting someone in the bin next.

Should have been red but i guess Wigan fans would have felt the same about Ferres last week.

Swings and roundabouts and all that.
