We are currently looking at Isa going to 3 who can't play centre anymore. Hankinson would be a better option than that. How Lam sees it going forward is anyone's guess. Zac says he wants to play fb, so where's French going to play? The way it's looking Bateman could be centre for some time as when when Gilly returns he goes left side.
I just hope the lads have been given some good direction by the coaching staff this week as Trinity are a big squad and pretty mobile.

Leeds dominated Trinity in round 1 in the pack.
They hardly made any meters unless it was on the edges.
It will be interesting comparison to see how we go.
It will also be interesting to see his pick and the right edge as Toupu and Johnstone could have a field day down that side. |

| Quote Father Ted="Father Ted"These things about loans I've never understood.
First is sending a player out on loan who can't be recalled. Whether that's due to the contract or as suggested distance and not logistically possible. Although I don't get that as its only 2hrs from Euston to North Western or three and a half in a car.
Second is allowing a loaned player to play against us. Never understand the logic surrounding that one.
So we'll face Trinity without backs of French, Manfredi, Gildart and Marshall. At least Hastings returns but nothing yet on Tommy's possible disciplinary matters. It's difficult enough winning against them with a more or less a full team. Makes the Hankinson situation really odd.'"
So you would be fine doing that commute every day or multiple times per week?
Train - It isn't just 2 hours, its the commute to the station and from the station. Plus the fact tickets can end up being over £100 return.
Car - 7 hour round trip. No thanks |

Exactly.
When I was living in SE London it has taken me on occasion 9 hours to get back to Wigan when visiting family due to bad traffic etc. Very rarely did it take less than 4 hours (that was on Christmas Eve) |

When working on Manchester airport many years ago a group of 8 of us would travel in a van from Millom to the airport every day, 7 days a week for 6 months, We would set off at 5am, start at 8am, finish at 5pm and get home around 8pm, Young uns these days are pampered softies |

200 miles divided by 8 of you, minus fuel costs. Got to be about a fiver plus meal allowance a day each for doing nothing but travel, work and sleep 7 days a week for 6 months. Prisoners have it better than that. It sounds more made up than when you said Wigan would sign Faf De Klerk  |

You are obviously working it out in some sort of modern thinking young Grimmy, Company van = free fuel, , A tenner a week would sort out 7 days of bait and drinks back then, Time and a half on weekends, Money was good back in those days, People had proper contracts etc etc |
