Cas 40 mins apart, I don't think Cust has been great, better than  we have had, but not creative enough IMO.

Also to get the best of of Bourouh I think he needs spelling, he hardly runs if he plays a full game.

Don't think Litten has the link up skills to play FB.


One thing is it's good to have options, last year, we got excited by having Ben Reynolds in the side.

I'm pretty sure Salaibo has played back row previously so maybe our best option especially as he's a big unit with decent pace. 

trouble is nothing happens at full back if Moy plays apart from his usual couple of errors from a high ballnever seen him break the line or produce a scoring pass.
if we move Rapana to centre then Litten to full back is a better option although he does look lazy when played there

Injuries aside, we need as much consistency in positions as possible. That inconsistency contributed to our poor form in recent seasons. You need partnerships all over the park, centres and wingers for example.

I’d keep Rapana at FB, Pryce at 6, Cust to 14.


When we get chance, I’d let Moy and Charles go out on loan. They’ve both had a tough SL baptism over the past year. They need to go and play in the Championship for a while and learn their trade being a bigger fish in a smaller pond. 


Tough games coming up. We’ll be underdogs v Warrington, Rovers and Wigan in the coming weeks. If we can put our best performance together, we can win at least one of these games. Main thing is we compete and keep developing as a team to allow us to stay in the mix for the plays offs.

Just shows how ridiculous and unbalanced the loop fixtures are, we're playing Wigan for the 2nd time in about 8 weeks but haven't even played Salford or Leeds yet. The sooner they do away with loop fixtures the better.

I wonder if we maybe start Cust at 9 rather than Bourouh. Now we have Pryce at 6 would like to see how we go spelling our hookers, plus means Amir isn't doing full 80 again. 

I would also maybe start Ese'ese and have Knight on the bench. I know having them together was effective but when they were both go off we didn't look so good in the middle


On the FB debate, I feel that Hardaker might be the best option but he is also our best option at centre so not sure, at least we have options 1 - 5 unlike the back row

Or saints. It's like they paly the loop fixtures then start the season again

Have to agree about Litten at FB. Was far too lapsydasical for my liking.

I think Cust played well at Catalans also. He’s perhaps less spectacular than Sezer but when fit I’d have him in. Whilst Balmforth is unavailable Hutchinson could have a bench spot. Cartwright is mindful of too much youth I think. As you say Bourouh is doing it tough at the moment but I thought he made metres in the cup game?
