Let's hope there's no Wigan players picked until 3rd october

I'd imagine its also because most of the 2nd rowers (Farrell, Tuson, Mossop etc) are playing first team or are injured now, and he's leaving us anyway so we can stop developing him as a centre!

Not wanting to sound like 'Leaguefan' as long as you have teams like HKR and Wakefield with 9 or 10 overseas players in their team it won't make difference if McNamara picks them or not because they won't be playing enough SL games to justify selection.

For me the biggest improvement that needs to be made is in the standard of our reserve and U18s competition, at the moment its pretty awful and the step up to SL is far far too wide at the moment.

Partly, yes, but also to accommodate Roberts at fullback as he continues his rehab, which means switching Veivers to centre.

Going off what I hear on here about Roberts, do you think the club would want to offload him if they could? He seems to be taking an extraordinarily long time to recover fully.

No. It was a bad injury, and the way we're managing OK without him, I'd much rather see him properly recovered, so he can start next season as he did this one.
