I don't think you could drop Cockayne after the game he had. Look solid under the the high kick and brought the ball back well. Also helped out at dummy half from time to time.

I think Eden used to play centre at Castleford before moving to full back.

GE only played 3 games in the first team at Cas, so if he has much experience at centre it'll have been mainly in the academy team(s).
It'd make me nervous him playing there. I'd pick him at fb or not at all. Cockayne had a very good game, but could revert to wing. Which'd be a tad harsh on OC or AG, but it has to be about winning rather worrying about what players deserve.

Nice to have an option, despite the injuries. Wakefield will be a reet tough game though, they're playing well.

I'd leave him kicking his (broken) toe in the stands for another week. We have to make a change the week after as Saints don't want Gardener cup-tied, so bring him back then.
I was his biggest fan last season, but I'm not a patient man and his performances thus far have proper annoyed me.

And ben at fb meant that when he went to acting half we still had two wingers on their wings

...for a reason

Eden has to play for me, it was very evident against the Bulls we missed him immensely on our last play moves, he is our extra pivot.
Yes Ben did well at fb but was rarely tested against a very poor Bulls attack.
The option is to leave Gardner out and put ben back on the wing.
Or put Ben on the bench to come and freshen things up instead of keal.
Langley will be a loss if not fit but hopefully have Rhys back.

Does a broken toe normally heal in a few days?

No but you can have a jab!

Broken toe or bruised ego?

my thoughts exactly stan

Either way, I'm sure playing for Gateshead has helped his recovery

If he is getting game time what is the problem?

Nothing, Oldham were happy with his inclusion.

Good. Everyone's a winner then.
