Think Peet will stick with Field at full back given his interviews.

Field is the fitter than French and that’s key for the distance you cover as FB.

Field doesn't look up to full speed yet, sure it will come once the pitches firm up, having said that he was quick enough to cut down Burgess last week so happy days

That tackle was superb same one as the tackle on the Leeds player last year. He seems to lasso his legs almost haha.

We have looked raw for a couple of games now. These 3 fixtures seem to have come at the wrong time for us really. Having said that coming off the 2 ground out wins we’ve had we might be able to hang on in all 3 games and win.

Leigh are looking good and playing some good rugby. We shouldn’t be taking them likely. Not overlooking Leigh or saints at all but Wire’s forward pack is a handful for even the more stacked forward sides. Really need to be looking at ways we can tackle this game

Seems almost ridiculous to say but on current form the Saints game looks easily the most winnable of these next three fixtures

Interesting to see if Shorrocks gets a game or not. It seems like Leigh have been happy with him but when you look at him statistically, he’d still be getting stick here for not making much ground. That right sided second row spot is available though for anybody who wants to take it, so maybe he’ll get a chance.

Why not, he has more experience than most of our squad playing at that ground.

But we know it won’t be.

If we play to our potential we win a Leigh no problem. If we don’t it is definitely a banana skin.

Budgie definitely doesn’t have the pace he did a few years ago.
