More than happy to keep him on his form so far. He’s putting in one hell of a shift for the team and looks happy to be at the club.

^^ this

Part of that is that Farrell has been a constant for 10years + in the side
he runs some excellent lines and has worked with Green, Williams, Tommy, Smith etc, and they all seem to be able to hit him and put him into gaps. He is also very difficult to put down, just note how often he is tackled and is stood and ready to play the ball

Wardle has been at the club for a couple of months and played 6 games, so it will take time, not only to understand how he runs best, but for others to get used to him as well.

Once we've sussed the best way, and you have both of them running at pace, then surely it will be a nightmare to defend against as they wont know which player is getting the ball.

What happened to King? At Wire he could jump and contest a high ball....has Peet given him lead boots?

I was expecting the same, with him and Wardle and KPP added in to be more of a threat from high kicks

I got shot down for this on the wire board, but I think King would make a very good second rower. He played there a couple of times for us and I thought he looked good. He is FAR too slow to be a top quality centre and he gets exposed a bit defensively. However, he makes good yards running the ball in hard and straight, plus he can get an offload away. His speed would also be perfectly acceptable for someone playing in the back row.

That's not a bad call. Might be worth a look when Thornley is available.

i'm gonna shoot you down on here as well *pew pew*

he had one(his first) good game at back row and every other time he's played there he has had stinkers

Wardle hasn't hit top form yet but neither has half of the team.

I'm confident over the whole season we'll be glad we have him rather than having Bibby or Thornley (for 2 games until he gets injured again).

When you say "every other time", could I ask how many times this is. Genuine question....

Probably about 4 max.

Price used to do the annoying thing of making 2/3 changes to cover one injury, and despite what jonh keeps saying, he played the majority of his time at left centre, but when playing back row, it was right sided.

Ieveryone remembers the first game where he did play well, so there's a heavy dose of confirmation bias going on

tbh with you, i dont really know what wardle's top form is, he wasnt someone i was overly enamoured with at huddersfield, he got talked about a lot, but i can't say i saw much, he was ok with us last year, but i wasn't that bothered about him not signing for us, save needing a body with what was going on with toby.
