I thought Paterson was outstanding when he played at 6 against the Bulls at Odsal last year. Maybe a solution?


Disciplinary is a joke, Ryan Atkins not charged....... What he did to Dixon was one of the worst cases of intent EVER, he deliberately tried to injure the player, as they'd been in each others faces all game.

I agree with you 100% on both subjects! I knew Atkins woulnd'nt be banned,just as I knew any of our players would have been! His deliberate Elbow into Sammutts face should have brought a Ban alone!

Paterson would be my choice for Stand off at Wire, I thought he could have moved there during Sundays game as he was punching holes in the Widnes defence, unlike some of the others!
Cory is a very talented player, much more ability than Stewart with the ball in hand! Dont forget, Cory was the goalkicker too at Salford!! Drnkwater just does not take defences on with Ball in hand and, he needs to run a lot more! Perhaps Hampshire should be give a chance at Scrum Half? Hampshire however, would definately play for me and, I would pair him at Hooker with Pelisier as both of them like to run direct with the Ball and Wire are suspect at the back! Mickey deserves a rest for me this week, we could have three massive games to come?
We need to bring back Maria and Higson for their go forward, could Higson play in the back Row
Changes are required, both to personnel and methods and the Wire game is the one to experiment in

One match ban for Ben, after taking the EGP. Needless to say the other two 'trippers' also took the EGP, and escaped a ban. So, nobody was prepared to do a 'Myler' and chance getting away with it then!

I wonder how many matches Greg Bird will get? My guess is three, then he could be back for a possible £1 Million game!

Atkins elbow in face and a tackle we have had players suspended for no charge Disciplinary charges are a joke

Along with a five year coaching contract. Nice way to end your playing career.

Just how has Myler been cited for it seven times, and got away with it each time, yet Reynolds is to be banned for his first one?! Reynolds' name has cropped up a few times this season, at the Disciplinary - all for being hit off the ball, in late challenges! Perhaps that has counted against him? Just watched the incident back on LCTV, tbh i couldn't see anything serious or sinister in it. To be fair,if there is another angle the MRP have got their hands on, then maybe they've seen something different, If not then i think they're guessing.

Well Cory would be up against Brown and, I think Cory is as mobile as Brown and certainly tougher!
I just hope whoever plays against Brown they dont take that pathetic Dummy of his Just tackle him,hard, he's going nowhere then!!
What do you think of my other team changes? Higson back row and Hampshire at Hooker with Pelisier?

I think you're right about Brown. When he drops that shoulder the bigger guys don't tend to read it so quick, think Cory being a tall fella would get exploited by Brown.

Higson to back row,my only concern with that would be his passing ability,you very rarely see him pass even when he has the opportunity to.

Hampshire and Pelisier at hooker is an interesting one obviously the cost of that being Higham.Can we really afford not to have him on the park? Although we need some sort of kicking game,which not ideal but Rocky would suffice.

I have real concern over Mortimer wasn't this the same injury that kept him out for months in Oz.
