We are missing Mckinnon's ability, but not his attitude.

Great on effort, poor on ability.

's himself on high balls, poor positioning on defence, slow on up take when joining the attacking line.

will make a far better hooker if he can tighten his defence.

Good news, but the bad news is it's Stephen and Reg

unfortunatly this lad wont make a good full back gud quick hands though and is evasive maybe a half back in the making for wigan because tomkins is set for fullback for the forseable future

Pies to recall him due to leulauis injury ?

Depending how long Horne is out for , Horne fullback , Whiting 6. O r Whiting Fullback , Kent in .

There are the options of recalling Russell, recalling Mellor or moving O'Loughlin to stand off. Hopefully it's one of the latter two.

I thought we had him for a month?

Would rather see Shaul there, hes looked good when I've seen him.

It was extended for another month, however who knows what is written in the small print.

mckinnon showed us the value of a good specialist full back. No co-incidence that our downturn in form has been at the same time that mckinnon was obviously unhappy and subsequently left. No doubt russell will develop into a good SL standard player but he isn't a very good FB currently. Let him go back and start missing high kicks at wigan and see how long he lasts in their 1st team

Agree about McKinnon. I'm not enamoured with the idea of Horne there as 1st choice next year. We've had utility players there since Briscoe went - Tony, Byrne, Hall, Whiting, Horne etc, and the difference McKinnon brought was obvious.

Agree 100% about Mckinnon and all those moaners who slagged him off should now realise how very very good he was.

McKinnon has been a massive loss for us, his offense was great and he was top drawer under the high ball, made a couple of dodgy decisions but what top drawer player doesn't!

Was a huge fan of him when he was here, massive loss this season.
