| James Webster said after the game that Washbrook had a torn calf. Can't see him playing next week.

| With Washbrook out for weeks I'd be really surprised if Molloy didn't get another opportunity at 13 against London after his Catalan performance? Tautai is playing a blinder at prop being spelled so I'd leave him alone he has found his niche and Anderson is injured more likely Raleigh will be fit for London won't he?
On the subject of Sykes, I like him as he has genuine utility value across the backs and has made the second highest clean breaks according to the stats he's also got good hands for centre so could create for Riley?
But if not seen as suitable for 4 over Lyne (who is making the top yardage) it's a waste of place on the bench IMHO with the need for 3 forwards on the bench (2 props and 1 second row) and a utility player like Wildie who can cover 6/7/9 to ensure we have zip around the ruck area for the full 80.
Other option would be to move Godinet to 9 after 60 mins with Sykes coming on at 6 but I'd prefer to leave pivots as they are and Siejka may be looking for an opportunity like that off the bench in the next few weeks.
As said positive times with some genuine depth in the squad now there...

I think he mentioned Anderson could be good to go next weekend.

Mathers to remain at fullback. He had a good game yesterday and is our only specialist fullback, knocking him is negative so is replacing him unless you put someone better there. Sammut? Definitely not, leave him where he is. Sykes, I think now too slow. That said, I think Sykes has done a good job for us and deserves a place on the bench for his utility skills. Rest of it I'll leave to the coach!'"
I agree with the majority of this. The only thing I'd add is that whilst Sykes has done a brilliant job for us in the halves, there is no sentiment in sport. You're only as good as your last game and he is now well done the pecking order in the halves with Harry coming over too, so he has to prove himself in the centres.
For me, Wildie offers us more on the bench then Sykes, but that's my personal preference

| I work with BJB's cousin. Got him to give Ben a ring and asked him. He was approached but has declined all loan offers at the minute.

| Collis is our best back so has to play, so Sykes to fullback for me. Mathers looked ok going forward yesterday but refused to put his body on the line for one Catalan try yesterday and was badly out of position for the last. Maybe a week sat watching might just give him the kick up the backside he needs.
Molloy did enough yesterday to get Washbrooks place and if he is fit then Anderson to come back in. Nice to have these problems for once!

| Agar said yesterday on the radio that BJB has decided to stay at Leeds. For me that means the matter is closed so ourselves and Bradford need to move on and forget about him.
I've only seen the last 2 games in person this season and the first half of the Bradford game. As a result I don't feel in a position to comment on any changes to the pack. I did think they went well yesterday.
As for the backs, I'd leave the half back partnership as it is. It is forming well.
Collis is a must, for me the best player we have.
I'd move Sykes to FB and drop Mathers for at least a week. Until now I've always defended Mathers to some degree. As is the case yesterday his go forward is very good. However defensively he is sub standard and I think this was blatantly obvious yesterday.
If we move Sykes to full back then defensively we will be stronger as a team.
We have plenty of creative attack ahead of FB so we need to work on improving our weak areas i.e. defensive FB.
Whilst I'm not a massive fan of Lyne I thought he worked well yesterday. Scored twice and I didn't see him letting us down defensively from where I was sat.

BJB would have been a great signing but if that isn't to be I thought Reilly did ok yesterday. He shirked nothing and got stuck in and I think he would score some tries for us - I think somebody has said he's only for a month though?
Lyne is a bit of an enigma to me. There's no doubt he has some qualities, including pace (although he's not as fast as was made out when he came to us!) but has had some poor games. Didn't look out of place yesterday however, maybe he is better at centre because he has to be more involved

I agree about Lyne but my only reservation is that his winger is playing outside a runner not a passer. So Lyne may do well but the winger outside him is only going to get the ball when a break is made and he backs up rather than from a pass in to space (a la Collis and Fox)

Agreed. To be a regular centre he needs to improve his ball handling skills.

| After coming back down to earth from that win would it be fair to leave anyone out who played yesterday.Collis is a cracking player and we need to have someone to feed Riley while he is with us as yesterday he was constantly in support of the man with the ball.

Would be harsh but collis is our top class centre . Sounds like Anderson in the squad for washbrook and collis in for Briscoe , real question will be do the bring sjeka straight into the squad which would be a bit harsh imo
Would be amazed if lynne keeps collis out myself - he did well but then again so would my granny against that defence
