Doesn?t play many minutes atm but when he took a hit up he was very strong and difficult to put down. Good metres after contact.

Defence is a worry and something he needs to work on.


Like him though and would keep him if Wigan release him.

Thought about this myself but Jed is by far our best second rower. A really really good player, just can't get a good run of games going. Would be gutted if we let him go but would fully understand the reasoning. But ultimately I don't think we will release him anyway.

He was massively fatigued yesterday but  had clearly put his hand up to play long minutes. I think his wire performance is more of an indicator of his undoubtedly quality

Knight was absolutely gassed yesterday, think he played the entire first half and about 30 mins second half, he and Herman both played big minutes (which would have really reduced their impact as the game went on).

All stemmed from Chamberlain going down early. No doubt Ashworth playing at prop would have reduced the minutes Herman and Knight needed to do. As it turned out Ashworth probably our best player but puts more stress on Herman and Knight, who now have to back it up again against Wigan next week which will be a massive task. Could do with Watts coming back in.

Laidlaw was 18th man I think for us yesterday so wonder if he'll come into the 17.

I agree nothing will happen about JWH but was good to see someone to stand upto it and he didn?t like it did he.Hadley also got his knickers in a twist as well when Briscoe nudged him and Lewis acted the hard man until Litten got hold of him?we have got a bit of mongrel in us now and it?s good to see the players backing there mates up

I'd like to have seen the litten cousins going at it.  I used to fight with my cousins all of the time. It's just what you do innit

While SKY have had too much power for too long the game has got to be careful it doesn't lose the mass appeal SKY brings. It's often the default channel in pubs and RL has a lot of old fans who simply won't know what DAZN is. 

As an example I've never heard of this Union player Wigan have signed because the Union Premiership has been hidden away in BT/TNT which I don't have. 


If we are pushing mote games onto streaming then we need at least one game every week on BBC/Channel4 for free or the game risks becoming hidden away.

American wrestling has moved to Netflix in a multi billion dollar deal. 
You can see where other sports are starting to adapt to the online market. 

whilst sky hold  the biggest share of Premier League football and football league matches, every other sport will be fighting for the loose change




change is needed, maybe allow clubs to stream their own games for extra revenue

I agree, if the Bell deal isn't done we have to question which is the better option. Both are the same age.
