BJB picked up an injury, Reece Lyne was already injured, so was put on the wing. Damage limitation.

Is Geoff Wraith still alive?

If we got any spare cash I would much prefer Morgan Escare.

My twopenneth, Miller to fullback, BJB to wing, Hall a try out at Stand off.
Two contenders for fullback are out on loan, don't know if they can be recalled before the month expires. But the way Paul Anderson was talking in a recent interview it seems as though they were looking at a trial period for a longer deal. ps Tansey is a magnificent player Paul , well worth £100k imo

You want grafters but you also want mathers back?????

Wow.

He was being sarcy. He doesn't rate Mathers a jot!

Jowitt is the best fullback we have

If BJB is injured along with Lynne then surely Jowitt has to come in at fullback and Morris/Arundel on wing?

I don't think it would do him much good coming into the team in the current situation. He'd be better off going to York with Jordan for a few weeks until we get our new coach and the team are playing a bit (or a lot) better

err, yes it does.

Also I reckon you should take your blinkers off and watch Howarth - the lad can play.

I liked Howarth the first time round and whilst no world beater he doesn't let you down and think he is the closet thing we have to a natural leader. But my bug bear with him is at hooker he doesn't offer enough of a running threat purely because he doesn't do it often enough. Six games in he has only made ten runs, and he's scored from three of them! 37 meters made in total and just nine against saints and none at all the previous week. It makes us much easier to defend against. We need him to keep the defence guessing a little more which would help our halfbacks although i accept when our pack is getting dominated it isn't easy.
