| Quote NickyKiss="NickyKiss"It's certainly heading in the right direction and in a way these kids have been held back a little by both the quality in the Wire squad and that injuries have been reasonably kind.
I think everyone's in a boat of uncertainty at the minute in terms if how they replace their best players. The quality isn't coming over from the NRL and the best players from over here are going as well.
I suppose all fans over here ever said was we need more English players coming through. There's rafts and rafts at the minute and if in the next few years we can get some investment in the game and buck the trend of lads going to the NRL these last few years worth of pain could have a massive long term influence.'"
definately the right direction and i may be in the minority that say that these young lads should get more opportunity. yes we may lose a few games but in the long run it would be priceless, it has to be better than just sending them to swinton? |

I wonder how many times Eddie will mention how many players we're missing. Off the top of my head:
Green
McIlorum
O'Loughlin
Flower
Prescott
Dudson
Thornley
Taylor
Granted I would say only Green, McIlorum, O'Loughlin, Flower, Prescott and Thornley would get in the 17 if every squad member was fit but that didn't stop Eddie and his "Leeds are missing 10 first team players" comments last Monday when it was realistically only 5 or 6.

Taylor and dudson would be in mine.
Flower and mossop being the other 2 props. |

I'm so glad I'll be in the ground tonight listening to Bilko rather than that twonk on the telly.
I'd love to do a comparison between how much they actually talk about what's happening on the pitch and how much time they spend having their own conversation. |

Lauaki missing tonight with a hamstring strain. Chance for Tom Spencer (if he's fit)
I wonder if Powell could be a surprise inclusion?

This is all a bit worrying with these injuries sustained in training - reminiscent of last year when the same thing happened. SW said that Thornley was injured in training - and how did Turner get injured? He seemed ok when scoring the decisive try with only a few minutes to go in the Widnes game?
Or maybe SW is making sure we have 2 props ( Taylor and Lauaki) fully fit, not suffering any knocks and raring to go on Friday against Cas.......
It was this time last season when things started to go wrong - end of June defeat to Bradford at home after the Exiles games, then CC capitulation to Leeds a few weeks later. I really hope SW and the coaching staff have learnt from this. |

Bloody hell, yet another! I suppose it's a possible, it's a bit of a baptism of fire throwing him into his first game against the hardest pack we'll face all year but I suppose he should be big and strong enough. 20 minutes to give Mossop a breather? |

Powell playing would be great - particularly if he mixes it with some of the Warrington pack. Morley, Westwood, Carvell etc - nothing to lose really!
