Find this a bit concerning tbh, if Chambers and Marshall are meant to be running it till end of season then Burgess interfering could cause problems. So if Chambers wanted to drop Dufty I have got assume Thewlis was going to Fullback, but also I’m disappointed they have still elected to include Mata’utia and the bench as not been disclosed because Dudson will be on it and that will disturb our sleep tonight

Why on earth isn't wrench in the starting 13 ... I find it incredulous that a man who has become a turnstile in defence for every opposing team is still holding onto the number 3 shirt ...when is that message actually going to hit home ... It's not fair to blame Peter I'd argue but rather coaching teams who for whatever reason seem unable to make the necessary play to drop him and try a different direction rather than the same doomed to failure approach all year and then look surprised each week

Burgess out

If Gleeson has managed to make that centre partnership look anything other than complete dross then he is a genius and we should offer him a blank cheque to retain his services.

Joking aside Burgess’ contract doesn’t start until next season so I’ve no idea why he’s getting directly involved in this years selection, another example of a very odd way to run a sporting club.

Does David Brent secretly run the club. Do the dance.

That 13 looks right for me.

Wire good win.

I think it’s good he’s involved, shows a level of commitment. He’s spoken to Dufty this week, so probably wants to see if there is any response, I’d say Dufty is on borrowed time with Burgess unless his performances improve the attributes that Burgess showed throughout his career are sometimes missing in Duftys performances- he needs to sort it out or he’ll be on his way I reckon.

Mata’utia, I just don’t see the point, he’s playing poorly and is probably on his way out at the end of the year. Give Wrench a shot!

Mata'utia must be picked on what he's showing in training. If that's the case it must be amazing and we don't need Gleeson let Mata'utia take the training.

If Wrench can't get ahead of Mata'utia we really need to recruit strong there next year.

Let's hope Dudson doesn't make the interchange, otherwise we have learnt nothing from Powell ball.

So ,subs not published ...we are either waiting for late injury news or there is doubt over the strength in depth & quality of the remaining pool of players. We may even see a radical approach of throwing some of the up & coming kids into the mix .

If fit today ... it looks obvious that Wrench will not be first choice next year. Price/Powell & now Chambers obviously don't think he is/was ready. At the moment it looks like King & Ratchford but it's a long time until next season.

There’s not a lot wrong with his attack, or at least there wasn’t, but his defensive organisation is extremely poor.

Given that attack is Dufty's best aspect perhaps he could be the elusive centre we need . Stick Thewlis or Ratchford to fullback & Mat'atia in the pack if he is staying.
Hopefully ,we may even see an exemplary performance from Dudson this week & a win from a super tweaked squad.

Definitely not a centre. A winger yes.
Straight swap for Thewlis.
