Well done on his performance on Sunday, he looked okay in the halves and his two kick re-starts gave us a lot of momentum at crucial times in the match. We should be trying them sort of kick offs more regularly than the standard deep kicks.

I think you can accommodate both Dagger and Jowitt like we did yesterday.

Dagger offers something different at 6 than any other half we have in pace.

For me it’s a bun fight for the 7 shirt with Dagger at 6 and Max at 1.

Should form fade then we have options to replace players which is great and creates competition for places.

If Gaskell has gone (although for some reason seems a secret) Then it's probably Dagger and Lino in halves. Bowes and Smith at hooker, Max to FB. That's our strongest spine with our available squad in my opinion.

I have not included Gale in my reckoning as yet we have to see him play, if ever that day arrives

He's definitely a handy player, very pleased with what I've seen. Happy for him to stay at stand off.

Max looks to have lost a bit of pace since returning from injury. Hopefully he will get back to pre_ injury form soon

Agree with all the comments especially Dagger at stand off, he was every bit as good as milky & better on his ball in hand kicking.
With Max his attacking & cut out passing is one of the best in SL, his cut out of two players defending against our two attackers sending
the ball to our winger on over lap was sublime, to miss out two for a 3rd man catch ie, four men unable to touch the ball is skill & should be
recognised ! However I don't think he is 100 % fit & he got a further knock which he shook off.
