and in the mix for MoM in my humble opinion. Does anyone know when in the game the pull happened, my guess was the offside decision when Wire went 2-0 up?

Peet said it happened really early so you are probably spot on

On one of the highlight packages this week I think I noticed Field reach for his hamstring just after the early Warrington penalty was given (which they kicked).

We missed him last night, he is vital to our team performance.

The only positive is there are worse times in the year for this to happen.

Hope we give Farrimond a shot at 6 this week then.

If he goes the full 8 weeks he would be missing for the run of 3 games in 10 days, so despite the international break he could be missing for a decent chunk of games and we also have a critical game in Saints at home coming up. We need to find a combination that works, and i am not convinced that Hampshire is included in it.

Had a read on the other site before, and somebody pointed out that he is playing jabbed up and injured? if that is the case then fair play to Hampshire for being willing to do that when the team needs him and it could explain his performances, but it also makes his selection even more baffling.

Will make finishing top a hard task but at least he should be back and firing for the playoffs.

Last year when he missed a similar length of time we opted for French at fullback, with Shorrocks/Hampshire in the halves.

French continues at full back for me.

He’s had a couple of bad performances and everyone’s getting on his back but I feel with a run a games Hampshire would improve and be a steady option.

Farrimond is also an option but seems like a Smith type player, kicker/general rather than a runner.

I would mind see Keighran playing 6, he played there a lot for Catalan last year and could be a running threat in that position. Eckersley’s pace and athleticism could benefit us in the centres.

Leeming in the halves is another option but can’t really recall how he played there for Leeds.

I could see us going with Hampshire and Farrimond in the halves on Friday and then you can have a look at them side by side and see how you feel going forward. If we do go with Farrimond after Friday, It's a tough ask for such a young kid to play 6 or 7 consecutive games, including games against the likes of Leigh, Saints and Wire but there's no doubting his talent and Hampshire has really struggled in his opportunities this year.

Adam Keighran coming back in for Leigh will open some options up. You could put him in at fullback or move Eckersley in there, with Keighran going back in to the centre or you could just put Keighran in at stand off himself. He was very much a utility player prior to settling in to the centre spot at Catalans. To me those sort of options feel like they could be the best for the team in this short spell without Field.

Come off it, its only one player! I know you have Isa injured too but would he make your first choice 17? You've got the strongest squad and barely any injuries plus you have more home games left than anyone. I'd be staggered if you don't finish top

Remember that we are still without Walmsley, Batchelor, Whitley, Knowles, Lomax and now Makinson. That's not even counting Wingfield.

If Hampshire is carrying an injury and there is another option in Farrimond i would like to see us explore it, from what i have seen of Farrimond he doesn't seem too slow and has a bit of a step on him. Not saying that instantly means that somebody can make the switch to Stand Off, but giving it a shot against London isn't exactly throwing him to the dogs either. If Hampshire is injured that could be a factor in his poorer performances and if we feel he would benefit from a couple of weeks rest then leaving him out of London gives him the international break also to recover from whatever is niggling him.

Keighran or Leeming could be interesting choices, though in Leemings case it would be a shame to lose him out of the Hooker rotation as it has been really potent for us this year.

I do agree with you on this Stu, i don't see it de-railing our season and we should have enough for 90% of the league still, it is just about finding that right combination in the spine for us now.

As Field is not out for months then I guess there was no need to look too far for a replacement?
Maybe throwing Eckersley/Sumner in may have knocked their confidence if it went badly.
However, Farrimond looks to have the confidence and ability to step up into the halves now and his kicking is a bonus.
