TBH, I thought you were unlucky to be cited Anthony.... although you did have a bit of a reputation in the Championship.

Was England's incident the one that got put on report against Widnes?

Yes, the crusher tackle on Phelps

Same here!

Patton and Ormsby in according to the back of the Guardian.

Patton is playing on Saturday.

I could see Patton coming in for O'Brien but bringing in Ormsby must mean Joel is going to centre. There is no way you can drop Penny so perhaps either Bridge or Atkins will miss out.

It's a shame I can't see Patton play if true. He has the slight hint of arrogance on the pitch that every good halfback needs and his kicking game is decent from what I've seen.

However I can't help but think that if he even kicks once into the hands of a Wakey player he'll be crucified and ridiculed by some fans, ruining his confidence.

Bridge to miss out most likely

Could see Patton in for Myler if he's not fully fit yet.

Bridge hill or monas need resting

Glad ormsby is back in the fold,,he was targeted for some unfair criticism last season but was ever present in our 10- 11 game winning streak,, as for Patton to big a gamble as big the gulf of divisions he's been playing in is huge, but wakey at home is a decent fixture for him to be introduced, very interesting, glad I'm going, see it for myself ,,,

Big game for Patton if he plays, hope he shines.

Patton is playing.

If Patton does play and plays well, would we play him in the next two games? Unlikely.

Match will be over well before the national starts.

i think its a case of easing him in gently.. Smith knows we are desperate for a HB... Wakefield at home is the easiest game on paper.

He may keep his place for the next game if he has a worldy.. i wouldn't expect Smith to keep him in though.

Agreed. I dont think he'll play against Wigan or Leeds unless he sets the world alight against Wakey, and even then its unlikely.

The great Alexander James Murphy said "if your good enough your old enough!"

O'Brien out, Patton in the 19.

King and Ormsby also both in.

It's game three of the Easter period with Wigan a week today, so we'll see a couple of first team regulars rested too. I'd guess Hill or Westwood being one of them, maybe Laithwaite, maybe Bridge.

If we win Patton keeps his shirt.
HB greats like Murphy, Gregory, Edwards, T Myler and Gordon were not shoehorned in slowly. They were stars at 16/17.

I would leave Bridge and Harrison out as I really do not think they are fit.

you know we're not in the 60's and 70s anymore right? and rugby league isn't the same as it was then, by a long chalk?

And 80s.

I hope Patton can prove Murphy's law was correct.
