Didn’t we start Ashton at fullback in the challenge cup semi v Salford and tried to squeeze Ratchford, Austin and Widdop into 6, 7 & 13? We all know how that ended but agree Ashton needs game time.

I do agree but the job of the coach is to get the best from their playing squad and that isn't happening. Something is amiss in the camp, the players aren't responding to the coaching. I don't want this to get personal to price really as he does come across as a guy who shares our pain and I do think he is working hard. Unfortunately it's not working and hasn't been for a long time really.

Cannot disagree with anything you say, but not all the blame should be laid at Price's door.

No but the coach is usually the one who pays the price. It just hasn't worked out unfortunately.

Yeah i'd agree with that, i think Butler will make the bench this time.

Good to see Butler on. Did OK and got some decent minutes.
Would prefer to see Joe P on the bench with JClark starting, but would honestly like to see a more ball handling 13 - Ratch can do it for a few games or some minutes in each game but its a tall order for him and isnt his best position. (Id like a Nikau without the penalties).

Surprised that Davis hasn't even made the squad. He may not be big but he's never let us down.

Mamo played well today albeit got pushed off on 1 occasion which led to a Leigh try. (Although this was the match I would have played Wrench in, rather than last week. And I'd play Wrench next week to build his confidence. Having said that given last weeks debacle it was imperative we got a good win today, and that meant choosing Mamo).

Because the opposition was of a lower standard today, it was difficult to judge whether starting with Walker would have been too bad, but like it or not Daz is sheer class and Walker is at a lower level (still not at the Dwyer level).
