It was Faz who did the kicking when Wardle was in the academy regularly. it’s hardly likely they are just going to have pulled his name out of a hat so if he’s the choice there’s a reason for it.

Joe only playing centre because Jake has a niggle.

Joe seen as a 2nd row all day long.

Jake apparently first choice place kicker followed by Lee Gaskell.

Isn't he left footed?

you would have expected him to take the kicks against bradford no?

every one else seemed to have a go that day! or maybe he had another niggle and didnt want to risk it

yeh fully expect joe wardle to be second row if he gets ahead of mellor, murphy

ferguson long term injured.

mellor or murphy may even slot in at centre tonight!

Expensive night for you guys last night with McGillvary tearing his hamstring, I would imagine is a 2 to 3 month recovery at least, when is Cudjoe due back? BBC mention McIntosh switching to the wing and Grix coming in at fullback.

Gaskell looked like he should get the full time kicking gig from his performance last night. Kicked a couple from out wide that looked really tricky.

Yep 12 weeks I heard. Cudjoe will miss first 4-5 games. McGillvary and Cudjoe knocking on a bit now so need to look after themselves more. McIntosh and Senior twins options for wing. Grix seen as a coach but could play if required.
Pauli Pauli out for you lot but not sure how bad his injury is.

One of the Senior twins on the wing.

It's all good - then big players back for the meaty end of the season

Heard Jake Wardle will be our place kicker with Gaskell as back up.

Not d me, glad we lost tbf cause them pussycats will get so big headed and just feel embarrassed when we slap them during the season

It was us who pointed out to you that friendlies are meaningless? Bring it on as they say.
