I think Amor will take the EGP and miss Leeds. We risk losing him for the cup game as well if he doesn't use the EGP.

I don't expect us to win Friday so might as well let Amor have a rest.

Doesn't work like that unfortunately. An EGP is still a guilty plea and so will automatically attract punishment. Had the charge been Grade A then Amor would have received a fine only. But with it being a Grade B, he simply gets the lower of the range which is a one match ban.

I'm really annoyed at Jon Wilkin. He knew we depended on him in the absence of Luke Walsh. Why couldn't he have been disciplined for once?

I agree on the last bit. It was a stupid moment of madness from him. Very disappointing.

Got a feeling that Brown will go with Wello at 6 and Hohaia at 7.

I'd go for;

Lomax
Makinson Jones Percival Swift
Wheeler Charnock
Laffranchi Roby Masoe
Flanaghan Manu
Wellens

Hohaia Soliola Walmsley Richards/Thompson

With greenwood stepping in if one of soliola or Manu isn't fit. Tell masoe to "smile" at peacock, and I wouldn't fancy our chances masoe vs burrow (who I imagine will start on the bench) so I'd give him the start. Tell jones to stick to Watkins like a limpet and make sure he has as little space as possible, lance is the ultimate utility and wanted in the NRL to play him in the 14 shirt, and we should use him that way too, if one of wheeler or charnock doesn't work out he can step in, else spell him with Roby so you can tell him to go all out and tackle anything that moves (as well as being able to do a job in the centres if needed) - similar tactics to the playoff game, keep it tight, focus on defence, and hope a few plays come off. We still have Roby and lomax who are game winners, but it's an uphill battle now

Do you think NB will gamble on Charnock? I haven't seen him so can't comment but Brown is quoted somewhere as saying he doesn't feel he's ready yet.

I think he'll go with Wello and Lance as there are simply no guarantees Wheeler will make it safely out of the dressing room.

Re: Amor to be banned? : Mon Mar 24, 2014 9:20 pm  

So does this mean Wilkin is almost certainly out of the Huddersfield game?

I guess there's little choice, we simply can't get away without multiple kicking options vs Leeds, he had a very good game in the academy last week (scored 2 and created a couple) and he has to make the step up at some point. Nathan brown likes to target games though so I'm sure he'll have a plan. Charnock would be the choice I would take.

Saddened: yes, Wilkin will almost certainly get a 2 game ban assuming he's found guilty (which they always are) - I've just gone through the disciplinary outlines and can't find a single area he can use to apply for leniency.

Depends if he gets one or two games.
