Decent team effort. No obvious MOM but Dwyer sparked us in the 2nd half. Russell was solid too as was Hill.

Stef only played at loose forward today because they were so short due to suspensions and injury. I'd expect to see him back at centre on Thursday.

I had thought that was the case. With us being so low on bodies, especially in the forwards, it is where we needed him most since we had Wheeler to cover at .

But, as has been said many times on here before: what do you do with Ratch? Where does he go? I don't think he should be at fullback when Russell is fit and when Gidley and (probably) Sandow come they will surely take the halfback roles. Mark_m said he was unconvincing at loose today and other would probably corroborate that (personally I don't think it's a good fit for him either). What other options are there? Finally move Atkins to the pack and play him at permanently? Would we get the best out of him there?

Perhaps it's the ideal time to move Ratch to loose forward.
With Lockers constantly getting crocked and Sinfield moving to the Darkside, Ratch would have no better opportunity to tie down an England starting spot by playing 13.

hey duckie how was your wakey trip
, i heard that bomer was bad behaved, you can`t take him anywhere!!

Bomber was as giddy as a dog with 2 balls and as messy as a baby with its first Walls funny feet.

Papa's undies, showing off his ginger hairy backside to all on the M62, were up and down more often than Joan Collin's knickers.

Arsenal Al's in built sat navigation system was as accurate as spin the bottle and his choice of watering holes were more thrifty than a weekend drinking with Chris Berry. (town centre dancing man)

Other than that another good day.
