[quote="mwindass":2z0j7wxj]Briscoe was probably selected at centre for the same reason Rapana was at 1. Catalans are a physical team and we needed all the help from back field as possible. Westermans time will come, but away at Catalans round 1 probably wasn't it[/quote:2z0j7wxj] Yeah I said earlier on in the week on the Catalans thread that I’d play that exact backline for that reason, didn’t think it was a game for Moy either TBH and the meters the back 5 got through justifies that. Regardless of opposition though think Briscoe is a good option in the centres in any circumstance, was just intrigued as to why Bonaire would rather see a young lad who still qualifies for the academy flogged needlessly when we have a good option there.

[quote="Chris71":s169wwq7]I'd say given the way Salford have willfully acted since announcing this issue almost as soon as the IMG grades were confirmed and released that the RFL for all their faults (of which I am critical) in this instance are correct in maintaining their stance until Salford have met all the steps required for the good of the game. It might just be me being cynical now I've passed 50yrs old but not a lot adds up for me with the Salford takeover and I wonder if its just more delaying tactics.[/quote:s169wwq7] Looks like the money has gone in now so they’ll be able to name a full strength side for Saturday.
