Does duel registration not work in the opposite direction? Have Rochdale or Workington not got a half back we could take on duel reg?

Well after the initial oh no.

I must say get well soon Walsh. It's been a breath of fresh air having him in the team. I would let him have his time recouperating back in OZ. let his family have that much needed time there.

Our main problem is a kicking game working off our tremendous pack that we have at the moment.
I would be tempted to try Percival or Charnock at 6, Wellens should be in at 13 for Wilkin, O'Donnell in at Full Back. We,ve got plenty of options in the centres and wing.
Didn't Swift start at the club as a stand off.

They have Ryan millard.

We can't go with wello in the halves. He's just not a halfback and certainly not good enough.

Shows that it's always worthwhile not taking what Brown says seriously. Last week Hohaia was going to be out for 8 to 10 weeks. Now he should be back before the season is out.

Damn shame Brown doesn't have the nerve to play a young gun in the halves. He should take some lessons from Simmons, who at least did have the nerve when we found ourselves entirely without halfbacks.

I think Brown has had to focus on bringing the young guns forwards through when we had a depleted pack for a spell. Somehow Brown has managed to convert Lance into a half back this season, Simmons took a gamble which worked for a couple of games the rest is history.

I guess Sundays under 19s game will be watched very closely this week

Luke's injury is dreadful, I feel for the Guy. I hope he makes a full recovery.

May the force be with you Luke and hope you make a full recovery

Clutching at straws there! Let's face it, our trio will be McDonnell, Wellens, wheeler or Wellens turner and wheeler.

I'd rather the latter

I think he's putting wello there as he's more of a leader and looked up to by the players and will talk and try and direct. Turner is a little to laid back IMO and won't try and get to grips with the game.

At least we got a week off to prepare.
