The game v Swinton is perfect. We have an opportunity to shuffle a bit. Ashton must play and I'd like to see Mamo again (assuming no Inglis) as his pace is always handy.

For me Wrench must be included somewhere if only to repair his confidence.
And - with all due respect to Swindon - if he cant get a gig there when will he get one?

Ashton, Davis, Walker should all be in the 17 as well as Mulhearn and Butler.

I read somewhere that Blake was carrying a leg niggle - in which case Ratch to replace him and Ashton at fullback.
If GI is 'almost' there, then it could be a reasonable intro to play him in this match - good prep for Hull.

Decisions decisions

You will more than likely beat Swinton, but you should deffo beat Swindon.

Credit where credit's due a much better performance from the majority of players who were poor last week. As good as the left side looks the right I feel is still a concern. However onwards and upwards.....the game against Hull will show where we really are!

What are the thoughts on squad for Swinton game ? Hopefully will give fringe players a much needed start but knowing price I think he will go with a strong / nearly full strength squad

I'd go strongish against Swinton. Need to make sure the momentum is kept and as we only had one pre-season game, we could do with another game in there. Give Ashton the left wing spot maybe, give Hill or Cooper the day off. Give one or two of the young forwards a bench spot.

Good response after the Cas performance. Much quicker and sharper in both attack and defence. Some tries I'd imagine made Morrisey think of reaching for the HBC. Hope Widdop continues to show what he can do, and the pack go on to dominate better teams.

Fair post. One moment in Austin's favour, was him taking it to the line and passing which made the space for Charnley and Mamo to finish the move. I'd like him to do more of that, rather a telegraphed dummy to try and break the line, which defences are now only too aware of.

Would imagine a lot of changes for Swinton game, not impossible that Inglis may get a run out.

Heywood Road is a mud bath at the best of times. Wouldn't be great for GI's hamstring problem sliding around on there.

Many criticisms can be levelled at Price but not sure about this given the Salford league match.

Excellent diagonal run from hughes which pulled in the defender.

No coincidence we had the back rowers actually running on angles and it cause problems in the opposition defence

One of my pleasures in life is ... watching the game a second time. You see so much more. It is more relaxing than watching it live.
I record every game. Mind you I've not been able to re-watch the Cas game. I have started dissecting the Leigh game ... much more fun.

Good god. Really? You mean voluntarily or are you a long term inmate in a psyche ward and it's cheaper than sedatives?

I’ll reserve judgement on this one. I’ll be surprised if Leigh win more than three games this season with that Championship standard squad.

Hull and Cats next up in the league. Two mongrel packs against our pussycat pack. Let’s see how we go.
