Hall with whitbread was our best today got to stay in centre not sure if langi be free to play but if he is hes got to take lynne place who unfortunately is a shadow of his former self.so yeah butterworth his he ready i dont know did ok for reserves tonight but salford were dire

There has to be some doubts whether Butterworth is ready and I think in an ideal world at this point you’d have him out on loan for a good stint in the championship to help his development. We might not have any option though so if he gets the gig fingers crossed he rises to the challenge.

Pitch inspection 11am this morning. I can see the headlines if/when it passes. 'Death pitch scrapes past judgment day.'

RL journalism is at an all low for me, it’s atrocious. So any negative news is literally jumped upon. Jamie Peacock wrote an article about how he believes we’ll go down and not get back up etc

To be fair he's probably not wrong, but in this day where perception is everything I feel we are been done over from many avenues, setting the scene that we arent worthy of top flight status. Rugby League family my .

Any update on this mornings 11am pitch inspection?

Too true.

The fabled 'Rugby League family' never pass up a chance to put the boot in. They were gutted when we started sorting the ground, but grateful for us having a pitch issue which allowed them to put the boot in again.

Rugby League family my arris.

Love it "Death Pitch"

You know someone is going to pick that up. Lol.

Assume that the pitch is fine and dandy, as WT twitter is 'advertising' Friday's game at the BeWell Support stadium, which for me is Belle Vue

So, apparently, the "Death Pitch" lives!

If Langi is fit I think it would be interesting to see how he goes at 1.

Having played at 6 and having a strong carry he should have the ability and basic core skills for the role.

That would leave Hall and Lynn at centre.

Not ideal but maybe the best option of a bad bunch.

You have to be the fittest guy on the field at full back.
Langi doesn't strike me as a full back.


I'd either put Hall there or Kershaw as he covered in the last game.

Death Pitch or The Pitch of Death sounds like a good marketing tool.

If I was a cynic, I'd think other clubs could be using the pitch as an opportunity to gain an advantage when playing away from home, especially if said team were going to be missing a few key players.
