Not saying there wasn't a gash to his face. He clutched his face as soon as it happened, and before he was tackled.
The tackle looked innocuous at the time, but he made sure the referee spotted it.

Rugby players have been known to play on with ruptured testicles. Currie would fall over if he stubbed his toe.

Anyway, for Cas next week the only thing I’d change would be Crowther in for Holroyd. As others have said, Wrench needs to up his game in defence but that edge needs time to gel

I agree about Wrench, but unfortunately he's the only creative centre we have. I hope he can sort his defence out, because his attack will be invaluable with only King or Ratchford available as centres.

I don't think this is the case at all. Watching the replay he doesn't seem at all bothered by Brown's tackle, he looks at the referee for guidance because he's got quite a lot of blood, and is unsure whether he'll be allowed to play on without getting patched up.

Our big guys are taking the ball on the 1st n 2nd a lot more.

Support play looks better from the little we have seem, the Harrison try doesn't happen under Powell or price because there were very few support runners, they were too busy getting in position for the next ptb

Not the best conditions to be playing the rugby that ppl seem to be expecting on game 2 !! If this is the start and there's progression and consistency then it will be an improvement on last year

There was no reaction or animosity from Currie so i think he accepted it as an unfortunate accident.

I really want wrench to be great but I just don't see what others seem to, maybe I'm missing something but I don't understand what people think they've seen him do that warrants a starting spot.

Thought Nu Brown made a very dignified and measured statement on his Instagram, very classy fella. Fair play.

Play acting? He had eight stitches.

In my best Kevin Keegan style, I would love it if we just ditched the body clamping and wrestle tackles, and just go for the legs.
They can’t run without their legs and completely removes the head tackle dangers.

In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is King. He looks our only centre that can beat a man with footwork and pace.

He set up the try for Lindop vs Catalans quite nicely I thought.

Yes he got on the outside of the defender with footwork and pace.

I don’t think anyone is of any doubt about his attacking ability, he has pace and agility. But, his defence needs work. We’ve conceded four tries this year, all on our right. Granted, the Abdul try he could do nothing about, and you could argue that Walker’s he was scrambling but never likely to prevent it. But the other two are down to bad reads by him.

Lots of potential though, just needs some support and consistency around him.

Can`t understand why King isn`t playing right centre for us this season?

He played all last season for Wigan on the right and with him playing left centre, we currently have 2 inexperienced 3/4 playing together on our right edge.

It would make more sense to play Wrench as left centre to Ashton who is an established international winger and King playing inside to Thewlis.
