he has been excellent and seems to have spent nearly 240 minutes on the field over all 3 games. if he sticks to dominating the ruck i can see no reason for the return of brough to upset the dynamic

now that is the big question can they play together when broughy is fit to return,
I personally think it looks like he has a lot on his plate at the moment and limped of to the applause of the crowd, would hate for them to fall out but would also not want to see him take to much on, hope the two can play together

I saw him limp off, is he injured?

We need him on fri, Obst, Latu and Skully are all a bonus.

my own view is that if all the players were fit we would use brough and obst and drew as, heaven forbid, a rotation situation, ie dont all have to play every week, latu the perfect bench player.
for now id pick obst every week as his defense is awesome, so its brough and drew competing for a start place, might give them both the incentive.

again siad it before but this places jamie r in a difficult stuation and much as i like the guy.......

just saw him get up from a tackle very slowly got back in line and tried to run it off, I think they took him off to be safe as the game was won, but there was some big hits today, Bibey for one

Agree. Would like to see Bibey's hit again, was he penelised for high elbow? Seemed harsh from behind sticks

I'd like to see the hit that Bibey put on Lueluai again, the in the 1st half where Smith penalized him for a high shot.

It looked a good one from where I was and the Salford fans dud'ny blow about it

my view was from behind the sticks to the right so his right arm was obstructed by his body it certainly wasn't around his head or we would of had the stretcher on to carry him off

do you reckon? for me they are an out and out 9 and a 7, cant see how they are competing for a place. if anything obst would go to 6 with latu rotating with drew, rooney fighting to get a spot. considering our injuries i imagine we will need all 5 this season

god knows!
and for me grix when fit would need to play! good to see a debate about the riches we have though!

grix certainly deserves a starting place on this seasons evidence. unfortunately for him players may take his place whilst he's injured and if they play well may keep him out when he's fit.
