I watch every game and for some reason when people have been subbed and come on usually sticks in my head. So i just quickly scanned the games to make sure my timings were about right and corrected where needs be. As you say, the superleague site doesn't show it. Sometimes it doesn't even show a sub on the events section which is pretty poor but about what you'd expect from RL.

I'd defiantly have Wood ahead of Musgrove. Philbin is a tougher decision. I'd compare Max Woods stats but again RL shows it's amateur make up because his name doesn't appear on the player stats page for the matches he played in. He doesn't even have a profile on our team page on the site even though he's been a first team player since mid last season.

Has he? I thought the line was he only signed on in January this year after trialing during pre season

Well it looks like Dufty is definitely out for this week. Having a scan this week, club don't think it's to serious.

Just read this on Guardian website, I was all for him having the week off anyway. Doubt he himself will want to be out to long if the comments made by Williams in jest about Dufty obsessed with MoM and MoS he will want to be playing.

I watched him play for Wigan in their Academy Semi against our Academy at the end of season play-off.

He was a substitute and scored a try in that game.

Wigan won but were disqualified for using too many interchanges.

Yea, I'm not sure why I thought he signed last season but for some reason I did until you pointed it out. It's still pathetic that he's not posted as a player and doesn't appear in any stats on the SL site

Those Musgrove stats are interesting. He is definitely not a bad player. But if you are playing <30 minutes per game, as a senior pro, you should really be blasting the opposition off the park when you are on the field, and I don't think he does that. Otherwise you are just getting someone else to do your job for you.

I've been disappointed with Musgrove and voiced it, but sitting back and thinking about it he's not actually doing a bad job.
He comes on, takes the ball up well and defends well. But i still think he plays low minutes and I think he's a bit lazy at times with little things he does.
But he's doing a job and letting Vaughan and Harrison etc get rest during games so helps avoid putting too much work on others.
Yates has been superb for that, really really happy with his signing.

I think that's why I struggle to get too exercised about it. Musgrove isn't a guy who is going to come on, give away two penalties or knock on near our own line. He averages one error in every four games and concedes one penalty in every three.

What I'd like to see is him playing longer minutes in Hull/Cas/London type games because we shouldn't have to burn out our top guys by making them playing 60-70 minutes in those sorts of games.
