One match ban for Ben, after taking the EGP. Needless to say the other two 'trippers' also took the EGP, and escaped a ban. So, nobody was prepared to do a 'Myler' and chance getting away with it then!



I wonder how many matches Greg Bird will get? My guess is three, then he could be back for a possible £1 Million game!

Atkins elbow in face and a tackle we have had players suspended for no charge Disciplinary charges are a joke

You will get away with Paterson at halfback at the hole in the ground,unfortunately it's Halliwell Jones we are going to..

4 match ban for dirty birdy.

Along with a five year coaching contract. Nice way to end your playing career.

Just watched the incident back on LCTV, tbh i couldn't see anything serious or sinister in it. To be fair,if there is another angle the MRP have got their hands on, then maybe they've seen something different, If not then i think they're guessing.

Well Cory would be up against Brown and, I think Cory is as mobile as Brown and certainly tougher!
I just hope whoever plays against Brown they dont take that pathetic Dummy of his

Just tackle him,hard, he's going nowhere then!!
What do you think of my other team changes? Higson back row and Hampshire at Hooker with Pelisier?

according to the rumor mongers on Leigh Market this morning Higson suspended by the club?

I think you're right about Brown. When he drops that shoulder the bigger guys don't tend to read it so quick, think Cory being a tall fella would get exploited by Brown.

Higson to back row,my only concern with that would be his passing ability,you very rarely see him pass even when he has the opportunity to.

Hampshire and Pelisier at hooker is an interesting one obviously the cost of that being Higham.Can we really afford not to have him on the park? Although we need some sort of kicking game,which not ideal but Rocky would suffice.

I have real concern over Mortimer wasn't this the same injury that kept him out for months in Oz.

What have you had for breakfast? In over 50 years watching RL, I have never ever seen a player make so many mistakes and give away penalties so many penalties as consistently as Higson does, whatever he manages as a positive during a game he usually capitulates with a mistake, Hampshire? he is not the smallest player I have ever seen on a professional RL pitch but he is the most dominated I have ever seen, the opposition throw him around like a rag doll, It has come to pass that Shaun Wane and Daryl Powell know a little about this game, hence he is no longer employed by either, he is not good, full stop.
.

Well Hampshire is just about the only realistic option at half and hasn't looked too bad when given the opportunity

Don't think you need to worry about Higson playing- believe his season may be over

McNally to halfback, Brown Fullback, Corey Centre.

Now that is an interesting concept !!

My preference would be Hampshire as he runs in hard and has pace but his passing isnt exactly that of Darren Lockyer !!

BUT, Greg is a natural halfback, great passer and create gaps with ball in hand. I recall him as a kid having a wonderful passing game at Whitehaven and tore us to shreds in the last ever game at Hilton Park !!

Brown is a better fullback than Centre.

What has happened to Crooks ?

Higson ??? with the sounds of it his attitude has become as bad as his golf !!

Warrington are not cracking any pots and were very very poor against London who chanced their arm and created alot of opportunities. If we go into our shell and play with anxiety, i can see us getting absolutely pummelled !!

With Halifax and London coming up, the MPG may well become a distant dream as London WILL fancy their chances against us !

Sami Langi is a stand off.

We have got to add more aggression and pace on Saturday! My suggestion of Hampshire at Hooker was based on his direct running and his enthusiasm, he always wants the ball which, is not a bad thing! Reynolds for instance is to quick to pass the ball on, its as though he is unaware he's supposed to be our play maker!
The fact Wane and Powell didn't keep Hampshire is irrelevant in fact, on his way to scoring his try in our thrashing of Wigan, I'm sure I saw him wave to Wane as he past the dugout

Wane didn't keep Scott Taylor too and I only saw him play that one game for us on loan at Fev when, he inspired our pack to victory following Parkers late withdrawal


As for Hampshire being 'dominated' I thought he had been out with a former Man U player



Ive over 60 years watching the game and that's a new one on me

just goes to show, your never too old

Playing golf with Hock.

We presumably have to replace Mortimer and Reynolds on Saturday. I think it best not to make wholesale positional changes to cater for that. For me, it would be Hampshire to stand off - ironically the position he was clamouring for, when he was deemed 'out of favour' (

) and Hood or Pelissier at hooker. Let's keep it simple - they would be 'like for like' replacements.

I suppose the begging question being,is Hampshire available? Sure we will find out shortly.

Your right it is irrelevant it's what Jukesy wanted that matters, and he wanted Hampshire that much he phoned him up in Aus where he was on holiday and told him the half back position was his if he signed, haven't a clue what's going on as to why he can't get a game at all never mind in the backs, but the kid has got all the attributes your asking for maybe it's time for Jukesy to give him another chance.

I'm sure NJ's brought him in to do just that job. Unfortunatley forced changes due to injuries and spitting out of dummies,forced him to re-think and resovle the situation.That came at cost of playing players out of their primary positions or the position they wanted.

Now a true professional should be able to deal with that scenario and accept it. It's been quite obvious this season some can and some can't.

Could not agree more the club should be more important than a player's ego, I'm sure you and others on here will know more of what's going on than most of us, hopefully your luck will change for what's left of the season, because one things for sure you haven't had much up to now, and irrespective of the rumours regarding the coaching staff and the players the fans certainly deserve a lot better, and lets hope the players do it for you on Saturday.

Not 'available' apparently.

Unless he's now refused to play stand off!

Sort of kills the thread that,doesn't it.

I asked Hampshire if he had fallen out with the club, personally, as he walked across the Car Park with Ben Crookes on Sunday. He just sort of smiled although, I did say to him that thought he could have done better! he just said thanks!

Well we certainly have had a few who have just said thanks,these last few seasons. Lets hope we are left with the cream.
