Iirc, he played in our first SL play-off game at Headingley, but was dropped when we played Wigan at CP the week after.

I'm thinking of the last league game I think when we couldnt move from 4th

Looking back at the results, I think third must have have still been possible at that stage. And tbf, the timings would have been a bit odd potentially. What if he'd been needed against Wigan having already done his big farewell?

Cockayne is very lucky that things have fallen as they have, rather than Gene being unlucky.

I think I'll bow to your superior knowledge

and yes Cockayne is very lucky I still can't quite believe it myself

Because Blair is going home, and Jewitt is the most senior front rower with Scuton going for surgery soon.

Is this Blairs last season?

He's got another year left on his contract and has apparently stated he will be staying.

Cannot imagine Bobby wouldn't want to play for us next season.

Cannot see why Blair going home means you include him in the team.

Bobby made it perfectly clear on Saturday after the game. He will be here in 2018.

I love Bobby Blair. Top player, phenomenal workrate, useful utility, tough as old boots, fantastic bloke. Shame he drives an Audi.

10 changes to the squad that took the field on Saturday, Heffernan latest one to go under the knife, chance for some youngsters to impress,atkin and harris in halves I believe, leigh supporters wont be impressed , but earned the right ,I should imagine catalan will try to bully us ,but our younger players will not be afraid of the challenge ,
