I’ll reserve judgment on Josh until he plays outside Inglis. Which looks to be the way we’re going.
It looks to me that Charnley hasn’t had a settled 3/4 throughout preseason. I’m off his back until then.

Charnley had a bad game, it happens. The bounce did him twice and his steal was deemed illegal among a couple of other things.

His try scoring record for us is 1 in 2ish which isn't that bad, but he's a winger that used to score 1 in 1. He can't be having that much fun out there getting poor service or not being used as the threat he is.

100%. I know have good Charnley is. With the right centre, he is devastating. Everyone has a bad day, doesn’t make them poor.

Agreed with this, although I would keep Charnley on the wing for now. If his form continues to nose dive then Ashton should get an opportunity to run some games on the wing.

Mulhern potentially could be the option at 13 at some point, I just feel like we get ‘more’ from Philbin when he comes off the bench 20/25 mins into games. Mamo needs to play centre, I was impressed with his form at the back end of last year.

Hughes at 13 and someone with a passing game at and row for me.

Philbin and mulhern on the bench. Alternatively we could start cooper and mulhern and bring on hill and Philbin that is stronger for me.

We need to be better at the play the ball, as we were too slow for Cas both with and without the ball, last week.

Dont hold your breath, anyone who thinks we are going to become a good team under Steve price is just plain deluded. This season is a write off until a new man is appointed and if that doesn't happen the whole season is a write off.

It shouldn't matter if you or I were the coach, that team isn't putting a shift in. That's not acceptable to me, regardless of what I think of SP (and I'm not defending him, for the removal of doubt).

I do agree but the job of the coach is to get the best from their playing squad and that isn't happening. Something is amiss in the camp, the players aren't responding to the coaching. I don't want this to get personal to price really as he does come across as a guy who shares our pain and I do think he is working hard. Unfortunately it's not working and hasn't been for a long time really.

Cannot disagree with anything you say, but not all the blame should be laid at Price's door.

No but the coach is usually the one who pays the price. It just hasn't worked out unfortunately.

Yeah i'd agree with that, i think Butler will make the bench this time.
