To be fair to Asotasi the ball was in play a lot longer in the Hull game. There were hardly any penalties compared to the Salford game and the possession was quite even. I would guess the tackle stats across the team were a lot higher for the HULL FC game compared to the Salford game. Having said that Evans did ok but it his ability to control in a tackle (like Ben Harrison does) that he needs to work on.

Is Anthony England available for selection ?

Don't think so, didn't even travel with the team on Friday

England in squad, but no Ben Evans.

Ratch in, but no Russell.

Bridge in too.

Roy Asotasi, Ryan Atkins, Chris Bridge, Daryl Clark, Ben Currie, Anthony England, Rhys Evans, Ben Harrison, Micky Higham, Chris Hill, James Laithwaite, Joel Monaghan, Richie Myler, Gareth O’Brien, Kevin Penny, Stefan Ratchford, Ashton Sims, Ben Westwood, Gary Wheeler

Why no Ben Evans?

England preferred?

He must be, strange if you ask me as Evans has done no wrong

Wasn't England in the 19 for Salford and Evans only came in as England had some sort of injury for Hull?

Has anyone else got a text message from "SuperBennie", asking for support for Friday's match?

I feel honoured that he took the time to text me personaly!

Haven't we said many times before.
TS does seldom reward current form.
He will drop a player regardless of how well he deputised for another who lost his place through injury.

Just got a text message from SuperBennie asking for my support on Friday, did anyone else get this?

Sorry Winchester just seen your post

He hardly ever picks the same team, so the three squads this year are exceptionally consistent.

Looking forward to seeing Wheeler play for you - hope he goes well and is able to string an injury free run together.
