Hardaker at second row seems a perfect fit to me. He's lost a bit of pace required to be a top centre, but he's still got plenty of it to cause problems in the second row. He's tough and combative and a good defender. He can run a good line and break a tackle, and he's got a good engine. I suppose the issue is whether it leaves us short at centre, but I'm liking what Litten is doing, and both Briscoe and Rapana are solid if not spectacular options. I think we've stumbled across a really good solution here.

yeah we don't want smith.  he gave rovers everything on Friday night including a ridiculous decision to go try on that burgess one where he was nowhere near grounding the ball and 2 clear wigan tries where he went no try but was overturned.  Hopefully as it's not at the caravan site whoever is reffing won't be giving them everything.


kendall is my guess.


We've beaten wigan away so no reason we can't beat the dobbins at home if we up our game.  

No way I'd bring in Watts over Eseh. I like Eseh and disappointed he didn't get any game time against warrington 

Litten didn’t train for them yesterday, not sure how bad it is but be a massive boost if he didn’t play .

I think we need Eseh not sure what he’s done wrong- needs game time. Same with Salabio he looks like a second rower to me. Perhaps they have weaknesses JC sees that us fans don’t ?

Well at least he went to vid ref. I never bother with who referees it’s a tough job. We just need to control our discipline. I would say that’s I don’t feel the touch judges do enough eg forward passes offsides
