Nantwich One….
You are Prof (honorary) Stephen Broomhead and I claim my £5.

We just have to be able to play without Williams ... cos injuries happen.

Well, you all wanted Matautia and Ratch out of the centres...

A penny for Riley Dean's thoughts this week. Goes to Cas on loan because it's deemed that he needs to be playing Super League week in week out, and now Wire, without both first-choice half-backs, are taking on Cas, and Dean can't play for either side!

It’s strange isn’t it that the positions that we are desperate for (half back and second row) we have players in that position out on loan (Dean and Longstaff).

Perhaps at Cas he had a team of players that wanted to play with flair. Our days of flair seem to have deserted us . I'll see what's in my wardrobe .

plan A and B as gone through the window what next no back up very poor from club to me it seems if your face dosent fit thats it

Is it outlandish to recall Toby King? There’s money in the pot, he’s allegedly coming back next year anyway. He’s played second row before, could slot in there until Nicholson comes back and make a start on building a consistent right side for next season with a partnership of the two mention, plus Drinkwater and Thewlis.

Didn't King move on because he didn't want to be here ?
No matter what their skill level or age ,i would prefer players who want to play for the Wire to be turning out on match days. Had enough of freeloading journeymen.

There was recent reporting that he’s coming back at the end of the year, despite being wanted by Wigan. So it must be a club led decision.

This is part of my gripe with the club at the moment, lack of communication is letting rumour run wild. If he was a bad apple, why bring him back. If not and it was purely financial, why suffer now we have lost two salaries and are desperate for players right now. If he’s coming back anyway, let’s just crack on with it and get him in now

We've not been able to play well with Williams in the side, so that might be a problem.

With Williams now out for a month, we have to bring Dean back from Cas [iand give him a chance[/i alongside Ratchford.

A HB pairing of PM and SR strikes me with terror.

Shame its unlikely to do the same to our opponents.

You would hope that the recall option was triggered the moment that Williams pulled up with his injury. Fingers crossed that, if this has already happened, then Cas decide that there's not much point in bringing him over for just one game meaning that he would be back with us in time for the Leeds game
