It's lower risk playing a hooker than a 6 IMO though.

Playing anyone in any position at such a young age is a huge risk.

I.e Aniscough, S. Tomkins most recently.

Playing Flan and Farrell will be a risk, some might not think it is, but believe me it will be!

Marsh is a centre or winger not a 6.

I think he would make a very good fullback.

Far too early for first team yet. Ian Thornley could do a job at centre but he is also too young at this time.

We may have no choice!

Besides, they have to get a chance sometime, they have been ripping it up in the reserves - leave them there too long without a sniff of the first team and they are going to be frustrated or lose enthusiasm. Sometimes the action that it is forced upon a coach is the one that pays dividends in the future - if they can cover for 3/4 games thats fine, then if we don't see them again until next year at least its a bit of experience and they'll know the areas that they need to work on to secure regular first team places.

Too early for Logan Tomkins - Joe Mellor, Stefan Marsh or Sam Gee should be considered if required well before him.

Briscoe will come back to Wigan as a long term full-back so he will not be playing there for Wigan I don't think.

I do not think playing Flanagan and Farrell is a big risk.

Does anybody think that Hansen will be alright for Friday?

He played on, could he have done that if he really had broke his hand? He is one hard b@stard if he did

Riddell - so good we've cloned him.

Oddball

That would be a nightmare, two of them

I guess he is the size of two players - easy mistake to make.

He's still the best hooker at the club and by a good distance.
