Dunno if the injury curse struck again! Any thoughts/news on Morley (who apparently would of returned if needed) along with Joel and Brett, who had ice on their legs at the end. Along with possible returns soon for Bridge and Atkins? Thoughts...

Not worried, we are playing as a team, im confident in whatever 17 we take to Wakey

Injuries create opportunites for other players. When everyone is fit (and it never actually happens) Tony will have some interesting but great problems for a coach

Possibly a very interesting conundrum for Mr Smith for the Wakey game.

I assume that of the players missing the game last night Ryan Atkins is nearest to a return. Should he be able to automatically regain his place or do Blythe / Evans deserve to keep their spots for next week.

Difficult one as I would assume Atkins will be chomping at the bit to turn in a big performance v Wakefield and has the experience but I dont believe that Blythe or Evans deserve dropping after their previous performance(s).

IMO reward the youngsters and let them keep their place. Atkins on the bench and give him a run in the 2nd row during the game

I agree that neither Matt or Rhys deserve dropping but Rhys is a young lad whose bones and muscles will not have fully developed yet and it wouldn't be good for him to play too many games.

Blythe and Ryan in the centres for me with Rhys making the 19 but given a week off unless needed.

Or do we rest Morley, bump Ben Harrison up from 13 to the front row, play Blythe in his favoured position, in the back row and play Atkins in position?

i don;t get this with blythe, he's come in and he's doing a very good job at centre and now people are wanting to move him out to the back row, where he's been average for us previously.

Maybe he's playing well now as its his best position.

if it aint broke dont sniff the glue.

Dont agree with resting players. We should pick our strongest 17, dont care Wakefield or Wigan

The young players need a certain amount of protection IMO....its great that they fit straight in when needed and don't let anyone down...quite the opposite in fact....but as someone else has already said, physically and mentally they are still developing and too much first team action at a tender age could have long term negative consequences....we don't want crocked, burnt out 'big heads'.

If first team regulars are fit they should be brought back in. The kids will get their chance again.

I would guess Mr Smith will know whats best eh! Its a very welcome headache for him to have...competition for places in the first team...particularly in the back division is very healthy at the moment. Long may it continue!

Moz should always play if 100% fit. Blythe looks like a to me...reminds me a bit of Joe Ropati.

I expect Morley to be given the week off to make sure he does not aggravate his injury. Will expect Rhys and Blythe to stay in the Centres if Atkins is not fully ready aswell. Good to have such a strong squad now that means we don't have to risk players.

hodgson,moz and both monas out bridge atkins back

Blythe has done well in the centre position, but would you seriously pick him there ahead of Atkins??...

Personally, I'd go with the chap who suggests resting Evans, but ultimately, unless Blythe learns very quickly how to perform as a proper centre and not as a very able stop-gap, he should always remain behind Atkins, Bridge and King in the pecking order.

trust me i know bridge playin fullback mitchell mcarthy in
