Can honestly see Fages being excluded again. Really hope not but he does seem to favour Knowles.

Have we already seen the last of Jack Owens? Shockingly bad start to the season from him, but the speed of his removal from the 19 kind of makes Cunningham's pre-season comments about him seem even more laughable than they did at the time.

I think he was always going to be our 3rd choice full back with SMD returning and Lomax getting ready next month, Owens will cover the wing positions alongside Dawson. I reckon Knowles and Fages to miss out but possibly get a gig next week against Wakey.

Can't just write a kid off on the strength of a handful of performances mate. Just needs time to settle in. Can't all start our careers like an house on fire.

I agree can't write him off. He's not the only one who's been poor. We all know he's only back up anyway.

Totally bizarre signing. McDonnell was out for 2 Super League games, surely we could have found a replacement from someonE already in the squad to cover for 2 games without wasting salary cap space on bringing someone else in.

We could have lined up with Makinson at FB and Dawson on the wing for a couple of games.

Ah!! You must have forgotten who's running the show. Having watched his recent interviews it appears your leader is living in a different world to the rest of you.
