Huge game this with the three losses in a row. Although early on and playing well with the youngsters, we don’t want to be losing pace on the pack above. Expecting Hurrell, Handley, Sutcliffe, Thompson and Vuniyayawa to be back in the squad this week
Yep could really do with a win. Those players if they are back should really help us get over the line a bit more. Half back is still a big issue though.. Eastmond looks a long way off yet and L Sutcliffe is no half

Eastmond will have benefitted from a proper game, he showed a couple of glimpses of quality, his pass for the mellor try was a beauty
So, we’ve got 3 tough games out of the way. These are games we need to be winning despite the injuries, if we have any top half ambitions. Eastmond will benefit from the wigan game and can see him getting better. But he needs a partner who can organise. Be interesting to see the approach we take.
I cringe as I type this, but Myler would be the best option to partner Eastmond in Gales absence. Should be due back in the next couple of weeks I think.

Saw the highlights this morning Eastmond defensively was very good and his pass was excellent for the try. Martin looked like fish out of water at SO. His defence was woeful
Rhyse is holding his hand up, but struggling at the moment, you have to wonder how much the CV-19 he caught has affected his underlying fitness level. We need another option at halfback so I'd if Myler is fit I'd play him at 7 with Eastmond at 6. Broadbent would stay at 1. If Myler isn't fit, I'd play Leeming at 7 and Eastmond at 6 with Dwyer playing at hooker with O'Connor as the interchange.
None of this is ideal, but until we get some experience healthy again we will have to make do and mend.

His pass did not make the try it was Briscoe brilliance that created it
