My wife is right (as usual) I must be going deaf

Picked up a knee injury so won’t be playing vs Hull FC regardless. I guess that means Harrison to 13 and Bullock on the bench.

who's playing 12 then?

Damn forgot about Nicholson!

Harrison to 12 then I guess.

I'd be tempted to play Mata'utia at 12, Harrison at 13, Bullock starting prop and play either Minikin or, if he's ready, Wrench at centre. Big risk playing Wrench with only 40 minutes of reserve grade under his belt since return from injury.

No McGuire makes selection easy….

Wrench comes straight in a centre and Peanut goes in at 2nd row.

The only switch may be Wrench to his preferred left and Ratchford switching to the right.

How about Philbin in the 2nd row in a Waterhouse type role (asking for a friend…because there are probably a million reasons why this is a stupid suggestion).

That is quite a lot of change for one absentee

Not at all, pretty sure Ratchford played all his
3/4 part of his career on the right side, before moving into the halves.
He won a challenge cup at right centre for Wire too.
I think he’s more natural on the right. Wrench played the left side very well.

Never thought this idea was a goer. He is a middle man only for me.

I'm guessing that challenge cup that he won at right centre, that was recently? Right?

11 years ago? Oh.

You might want to file that justification along with.

"John kear as Head coach, cos he got Sheffield to beat Wigan in a challenge Cup final"

Nope. I’ll dine out on it for a few more seasons.
Plus you don’t forget how to ride a bike.

The comment was allegedly a disparaging remark against Charnley’s son who is autistic.
If true he should be sacked and if proven he faces a very lengthy ban.

You’re saying….McGuire knew about the condition of Charnley’s son (which I didn’t btw), and then makes a remark about him to his face.

I find that completely too wrong to believe. I don’t believe anybody would say something like that.

McGuire knew about Charnley's son?.. Obviously spent his time on the sidelines doing a forensic investigation into Josh.... if true he goes but seriously If anything is in this at all. this sounds more like Charnley having an agenda that needs nipping on

I would very much doubt this, as accusations from Charnley would be more widespread than just McGuire. The only facts that I know of are that McGuire was banned for using a disability derogatory word in the preseason match against Leigh. I've heard the rumour of what that word was, and the census of opinion on this board was that 7 games seemed to be harsh. That's the second fact, as appropriate punishment set by the RFL (whether we agreed with it, or not). If Maguire has not learnt from kicking his heels in the stands for that length of time, and has come out with the same, or similar, then there is nobody else to blame but himself.

As has already been posted by others, innocent until proved guilty, but if it's the latter, then there should be no place in our team for such an individual.

I'm not buying into this... Yes he definitely did this the first time... But twice....with the same player ..having been warned by the club??!!... if true He's arguably very stupid and needs sacking or alternatively the other player is very manipulative and needs to be brought to task for bringing the game into disrepute

I agree with the latter.

I was brought up with the mantra "sticks and stones" so I don't believe naughty words on a pitch deserve more of a ban than smashing into a head with an elbow or shoulder. Especially words that were common place in the British lexicon until recently (indeed it is a medical term).

However this is the world as it now stands and we can't be paying cap space for a player that is banned more often than he plays.

Of course I hope he did not do what he was accused of.

This sounds highly unlikely to say the least.

if he as said any thing there might be a method in is madness home sick ?

Played his last game for us, I believe.

Good. Massive salary to spend on someone better(or a new coach!)

So I hear, not a loss at all…no confidence in getting a replacement though and heaven forbid we give a youngster a go. Powell will probably shove Minkin in the SR.

What an absolute pillock.

Goodbye and good riddance!

Now spend the money Warrington, wisely!

What makes you think that?... If true we have got a problem as there is no second row cover now
