dont think the club has released him, we were able to replace him as the rule was he was injured before round 3, same with Leeds with Sivo, they were allowed to replace him whilst still employed by them, they just dont count on the cap.

As I understand it, he hasn't been released and is certainly employed during the duration of his rehab by Hull FC. You are allowed to maintain the employment of a player, should a club wish to honour his contract, but once he has been de-registered he can't return to playing for the rest of that season. Registration and employment are two different things and he is now just a member of staff on the pay roll. .De-registration and returning of the players wages to the cap allocation is only allowed in the 'Initial" rounds of the comp and then only with the permission of the RFL who 'consider the circumstances' before agreeing to it.  

Free hit for me, too many out and Wigan getting some players back.


Have a good crack and hope you have a couple of bodies back for Magic, then a week off.

Looking at the reserves squad, with Kirby named, think Chamberlain must be ok.


Think the bemch will be


Ashworth 
Balmforth 
Aydin
Laidlaw

Not sure loaning out Salabio was wise, would be on the bench for us Sunday, good chance he doesn't get into the Cas 17 with Amone there now

All out rugby reporting that Wigan have Thompson and Keighran back


i'd be happy to have Thompson back, even if he starts on the bench, but would leave Keighran for another week or two, as we arent down in the backs

If everyone in the world was the same we?d all be robots 

I take a way different view and don?t mind having a proper wind up on here 


Makes me mental ?


I?m not offended - I don?t mind being left field and always will be left field zany deliberate over the top


I find same same just too vanilla and
Beige 


Beware the Beige people 

To be honest I think the biggest difference under the new regime with the bench or match day squad as a whole, injuries aside is they are in there on merit/form. 

Laidlaw aside that's not a bad bench.


Personally I'd rather have Kirby or Wainhouse on the bench, can't see Laidlaw being here next season and will get limited minutes anyway.

 I think Laidlaw is a little small but tough but needs a chance this season so can decide if he?ll make it. I thought Salabio was good looks like a 2nd rower where we are lacking

The issue with Salabio is his English is really poor. During tactical briefings, he was struggling to follow and hard to communicate. 

Gardiner be on the bench
