Anyway, Robson will get recalled and picked there, probably

Robson straight in to Second row for me and for christ sake leave King in the bleedin centres, sick of hearing lets put him at second row......lets not.
Austin can miss out again for me, he's basically just a body in the line. Ratchford back in the halves if fit and re-call Robson and put in in Hughes place.

Austin 2nd row, he is not a small guy?

That would be my guess. All the younger players coming through will be told where they are in the pecking order and what they need to do to get to the next level so I would imagine Robson would be expected to get the nod. The only fly in the ointment is that it is only 1 game and would disrupt Widnes.

"sick of hearing" it? Why, it's not an unusual position switch and we are hardly on about it every 5 minutes. Hughes' enforced rest for ONE week why not give it a go bit OTT OT IMO ha ha

He would probably enjoy it, as he enjoys bashing it up, and be OK.
I remember when Ratchford moved to loose forward last year, one or two screamed no, and he was fine.

At 70-0 last time out they may need a bit of “disruption “.

He isn't and could potentially go well there but King has actually played there before and went well so would be a less risky move. We'd need to shuffle centres though and I like Inglis at full back organising numbers etc.
The sensible thing to do is to recall robson and play him there or just play Jason Clark in second row that's pretty much like for like then anyway.

I suspect he'll go 3 props and ask Cooper to do some extra minutes. One of Sita, Philbin, Mulhern or Butler to be given the task for me
