"sick of hearing" it? Why, it's not an unusual position switch and we are hardly on about it every 5 minutes. Hughes' enforced rest for ONE week why not give it a go bit OTT OT IMO ha ha

It's constantly mentioned about putting him in the 2nd row, anytime an injury or suspension it's immediately put King there. Why because he plays well there aswell. He's a centre and a great one that's getting better every year, leave him there.

I'm not getting into a row OT but "constantly"?

BTW I'm not unhappy leaving King at Centre this week, it's a debate after all and our opinions differ which is fine but I'm not stressed about it. I certainly wouldn't move him if our first choice 17 was available and on form BUT it isn't and that's the difference for me. I'm not saying move him week on week a la Westwood,

We played around with Atkins swapping and the likes of Bateman has done it the other way it's very similar role these days especially if they're big enough and King is.

Play Davis or Robson in the back row.

Since we signed Rob Butler as the next up & coming forward ,i don't seem to have seen or heard much of him . Is he injured or not yet up to our exacting standards ?

With Hill, Cooper & Philbin fit & Mulhern only having missed one game I guess there's not been much opportunity for him, he's in competition with Sita for that 5th prop spot, Price must think Sita is ahead of him right now. He went a long tome with no games, maybe a loan deal with immediate recall option should be considered for him to get some games under his belt with the reserves not running.

With games on Monday and then Friday I would expect us to be using most of our available players some at point during the week.

The Cas home game is billed as Saturday afternoon on the club website.

Liam Watts now misses the game against us due to a frivolous appeal. Obviously if you want to avoid the wrath of the disciplinary committee stick to cannonball tackles.

Yes. The BBC are now showing it as Saturday so it looks as though it has moved.

I read this as "The BBC are now showing it on Saturday". My eyes were tricked into seeing "on", until I read it again. Ah well, if only I suppose!
