if it's just popped and gone back in ok he could be ok, but with our next couple of fixtures it might be worth risking resting him for a couple of weeks and try Powell out in the halves for a couple of games and have Matty back fully fir for Leeds at the magic weekend

Unofficially the most boring poster on Cherry and White.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_5733.jpeg



Quote: DaveO "Early on in the season Wane said he was going to replace like with like position wise and not play players out of position. This is his first real test to see if he has the courage of this particular conviction. He didn't handle Tommy being out at all well last season and if he does as he did in the CC last year and play Lockers at 6 it would show he hasn't learnt from that game and that he struggles somewhat when he has to deal with injuries in key positions.'"



Out of interest who would you have replaced Tommy with, or handled the situation differently?

Fans Forum 28.08.08 Fan from Haydock "I've got one word for you Mr Chairman - Penalty Count" [quote="The Daddy"]I've got one word for you all......Steve Hanley[/quote] Some Salford fan said to me and I quote "You are by far and away the most Handsome & Knowledgeable Rugby League Fan in England!" I thanked him and went on my Merry way! RIVERCAVE DWELLER OF THE YEAR 2015! "The club used you last night and didn't tell the truth." Officially one of the 119 Mugs used by the club:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg



Quote: TrentBarrett "Many have said if Pat Richards was moved to fullback when we played Leeds in the play offs we would have won that game, Wane can't win but I agree with your opinion like for like replacements seem the better option.'"



Mmmmm eusa_think.gif
I wonder who one of those people who said moving players out of position and not using a like for like replacement and it cost us the game was?

I think we have lost a few players over the last couple of years, where we haven't been replaced with 'like for like' .

I think Wane made a huge 'boo boo' of placing that young lad in, in the semi/play offs instead of possibly Pat Richards.

I still don't think the lad has recovered. He was inexperienced, it was not really his fault.

Like people have said Wane can't win. Replacing Tommy with Lockers rather than throwing in a young kid was the wrong decision and on the other hand not playing Pat at fullback and picking a like-for-like young replacement in Murphy was also the wrong decision.

ATEOD Wane has shown if he thinks a player is ready to step up he'll pick them. Look how many debuts he's given in the last 2 years!
