First of all well played on Friday and I hope you continue to perform well as the season progresses.

Secondly can I ask is Frankie Mariano injured? Or is he not a first choice under Agar?......I'm asking because I selected him in my Fantasy team :p (told you it was cheeky)

Cheers

Stephen

As far as i know picked up an injury pre season but think in contention for Sunday.

So he's worth keeping in then?

Last time I answered yes to that question, I got violated by an off-duty nurse; for that reason, I'm out.

Would say so as far a forwards are concerned as he is more likely to cross the white wash more than any other forwards.

I reckon mariano will be on the bench we had 3 props on the bench last week

Yeah, I think it was a toe injury. I reckon he will be forcing his way in soon, good player.

Think Southern will be having an extended run at prop in Amors absence so there is a spot available for another backrower. Marianocould well be that man.

Mariano may play prop himself at some point.

That worries me as Southern, as good as he was at Widnes, isn't a prop. We struggled against their pack early on, and in my opinion we need to bring Wilkes and Johnson in to the front row to start this week as I'm sure Hull KR will take advantage of our lightweight front row and steam roll us.

Who says. You are not born to play any position. Steve is small for a prop but so was JT and Belly and they did just fine.

Being big is not what propping is all about - in most cases it makes you a big lump. It's all about attitude, ticker, quick PTB and being in the right place to do the job and he wants for none of those. Southern will do just fine in the short term, absolutely no worries there. Will this prop obsession ever end

Tonks Was a Big prop Hickey Was a Big prop

We struggled against their pack early on because their pack set off at 100 miles an hour, and promptly ran out of steam after 60 minutes (it did help having Cross sin-binned too !!), but we played the full 80 and didn't run out of steam !!!
