King was like a fish out of water on the right.
That was a strange situation with Sita . He copped a big hit straight after the 2nd half kicked off & had an assessment on the field ,played on then went off a few minutes later straight down the tunnel . He played a lot more minutes today though & got some decent carries in.

Nobody thinks to drop him because he is a top player. He knows cause the opposition problems, the more players you have that are able to do that the more you stretch them, the more mistakes they make, the more opportunities you have and in theory the more sets you get and points you score. He's incredibly consistent and has never complained or given a poor performance when he's been shifted around all over the place.

If we're going to be without Ashton then it's a straightforward swop with Inglis; yes he will still be rusty but we're talking about a great of the modern game here, not Bob Smith from Runcorn Highfield. At least he'll see plenty of the ball at FB.

Inglis
Lineham
Mamo
King
Charnley
Rathford
Widdop

Duckie, I would have Hughes in the back line only in emergencies as he stops every attack dead in its tracks by continually coming inside.

Yeah, I'd move Mamo back into centre and have any two of Charnley, Lineham, Ashton, Thewlis on the wings. Hughes back in the pack.

I'm on my phone, using the android app, I cant use a spit take gif, you'll all have to picture it in your minds

Wont Lineham be available friday

Yes

At my post?

Hughes is a very accomplished centre. Not saying he’s a star centre, but he isn’t a revolving door. We were rolling forward after the switch all over the pitch but for one error blip....
Did what I said would happen ‘smashed’ them.

I’ve no issue with Mamo and Lineham btw. I’m a big Lineham fan. We’d have to lose a forward to accommodate him.

But ideally you want your centre to offer more than secure defence, especially if you have ambition.

I would have thought that we will have Charnley, Lineham, Mamo, Inglis and King available for Friday, so no need to use Hughes in the back line.

We shouldn't be shipping 5 tries in a match, and ought to defend better.
