Jesus, Mitch Brown has had a hard paper round then..



Talking of old timers, is Hock likely to play this week?

Not likely to play this season.

Age is just a number. Would feel much more comfortable with 33 year old Gareth Hock playing than 26 year old James Green!

No he has been ruled out for the season and with Dane Weston having recently retired and the idiot Jamie Acton being suspected, it has left us a little short of some grunt in the front row IMO.

Forgot about Green, whats happened to him? If he plays I'll give it 20 minutes til he smacks one of his ex team mates and gets sent off.

If we lose Masoe for this match, what are the options..agree Greenwood has not been anywhere near last seasons level, Clarkson(meh) been ok so far but no world beater, Mitch Clark usually gives impact and go forward and would be my choice but doesn't seem to be Sheens. Is he fit to play?
Re. the half back, I would persevere with Atkin, he is a half back and we must have some creativity. We are low on options and have got to try something...horses for courses and all that.

I'd imagine Clark would be a direct replacement for Masoe if his shoulder is shagged. The perpetrator got 1 match for that chicken wing, which will no doubt benefit Widnes.

Not that it matters but aren't we unbeaten at LSV

There are some at Leigh, who wish James Green would show enough fire to smack someone!

If he plays 20 minutes, he wont have enough breath in his body to smack anybody. May as well have McNally at prop forward!

If we want to have a chance of beating Leigh then we have to drop Ellis in my opinion. I would love for him to prove me wrong but on current form I simply don't think he's good enough, pure and simple, he offers little with ball in hand and his overall kicking game has been nowhere near what it should be if he is going to trouble top sides.
Atkin looks a good prospect, it's a real pity he wasn't brought to the club much earlier and given more game time to get used to playing with the first team, the same could possibly be said for Masoe though I'm not sure what his commitments were over in Aus.
it might be a gamble playing Atkins against Leigh but in my opinion he offers more in attack than Ellis.

Quinlan is our best back and apart from Lunt the only one who can unlock a good defence. He has to play if fit. Carney may change that and become our best back but he needs to sort his defence out or Mortimer may make his life difficult.
We have a decent chance of a win but have to defend much better than this week.
Keep it tight in the first 30 and Leigh may beat themselves.
Will we ever have Minns Heffernan and Quinlan fit for the same game...
Who plays at half I have no idea..Marsh was ok Sunday. Defended well took a good try.
We will miss Abdul in this one but as others have said this is a bonus win if we get it. Widnes at home and our fellow championship teams are the pressure games.

After another Solomon type display on the other thread I nominate the goose as board moderator.

Disagree with you on the halfbacks, we've had some of SLs finest over the years but not enough quality around them, especially in the forwards. Having good halfbacks is all well and good, gotta have good players around them though.

Mortimer is a fine looking player from what I've seen, could be an excellent signing for the future providing you're still on SL but I don't rate drinkwater anywhere near the same.
