I would hope that "bending down" would be one of the fitness tests required for 1st team Rugby League.

Thank goodness none of the amateur teams I played for had that in their training regimes.

I haven't been able to bend over since 1996.

Do you really want a player recovering from back surgery spending time at dummy half in his first game back? Just a thought.

JJB will fill at hooker for Diskin again.

If he was still recovering from back surgery, he wouldn't be playing. If he can't bend down at dummy half now and again then he's going to have a problem.

I still think Gibson looked the more composed of the two centres at Warrington, so dont see a reason to drop.

Yes, missed that one. That does seem tad unfair too, although maybe that is just keeping him level headed. Personally I would have thought Wigan was the ideal game for needed two hookers, but maybe a different game plan.

I guess that him, allan, and watkins will receive their game time in bursts where possible so that they don't break, or get fatigued, or get a massive ego

If they start Fekka we should gameplan to run straight at him for the 1st twenty. We'll have a lot of joy. Have you seen how fat he has got?

I predict his first stint will have one barnstorming carry (cue Eddie's self abuse) followed by much huffing and puffing and a general avoidance of any defensive duties.

I know a fatty when i see one (every day) and here's a photo of Fekka sunbathing earlier this week.
