Wow yed and the duckie on a par

I thought Joe Mellor looked very, very good and to be fair so did a few of the Widnes backline - the real test of Mellor and the rest will come next week when they play Leeds, I think.

I also through Liam Finn looked good for Cas the other week against Hull KR.

Intelligent kicking, incisive handling, quick-thinking and organisation from a half-back - not much to ask is it?

Now with Russell in the team we left with Ratchford, GOB and Myler for 6/7.

Headache.
One is going have to be benched at least.

I've been thinking it would go back to 'plan A' of Ratch and Myler. But I just don't know anymore. Myler being the one to shift to hooker yesterday and being the least effective of the year so far may see him miss out on Friday.

All I can hope for is that Smith doesn't try and get them all in and put the 'other' one on the bench instead of a back rower.

I think we should have a back on the bench every week.
I cant see a better player for that role than Ratchford too.

Although Grix is more than handy on the bench when fit.

Ratchford should be at 1,6 or 7 for the full 80 not on the bench

...and is precisely why he is ideal off the bench!

Your missing the point. He is wasted on the bench. He is one of our best players, so why should we not play him all the time and let him watch from the bench?

Mellor was good against Huddersfield, and Salfords pack is big!

Mellor was probably another who John Bastion pushed out.
Mellor is Warrington through and through too.
He was Warrington crazy.

I'm not missing your point, I believe that the bench plays a more important role than I assume you do.
Having watch Ratchford as many times as anyone since he came to Warrington I feel he's more effective in the 2nd quarter of each half when defences tire.

So I reckon keeping him fresh would make him double the threat?.
