Quote: NickyKiss "I said before the Leigh game that due to how bad the vast majority of the side were last year that I’d have that as an open audition for the first game. Whoever played the best gets the shirts at Salford. I thought Flower, Nuuausala, Isa and especially Hamlin went well whereas Sutton, Tautai and Joel Tomkins were pretty quiet imo.
It’s tough to split the three so I suppose I’d go back to last years form. I thought Sutton played well up until the last month or two so it’s one of Tautai or Joel. I probably cut Joel more slack for last season due to a run of injuries so on that basis I’d leave out Tautai. An early rocket up his backside won’t (hopefully) do him any harm.'"
I just think that SW knows exactly what the established players are capable of in competitive games but as yet, Hamlin is untested. We need to give him a go at 13 in Lockers absence to see what he can do. With respect to Salford, I’d rather test him in that game than against Hull or Warrington.
