It appears that Cooper was ill, Currie was rested to protect ACL, Atkins and Westwood dropped.

Yes it's very encouraging, I think Philbin described him as "possessed". Let's hope he is rewarded by keeping his place in the side.

Akauola has all the physical attributes. Hopefully Price has played it well and brought a new attitude out of him. Very pleased to see him get a MOS point.

With the way our forwards performed against Saints and Salford, surely he has to keep his place. Matt Davis too.

Getting an MoS point in your first game for quite a while is no mean feat, and I've been impressed by the work rate of Davis. Would be hard to change the 17 unless there's an injury.

But SP needs to rotate after the Easter period.

Big difference compared to his last SL match when he only had 1 carry. Hopefully he can do longer stints now.

It's great to have competition for places where you have players striving to impress when they get the opportunity.
