While I agree with his stance overall I think extending it to Easter Monday, given the injuries we have and it being a 2 day turnaround is not smart. Point made for me. No need to shoot ourselves in the foot.

This. Wakefield are no push overs and will be out looking to even the score after their CC loss to us. Zak plays for me, as does Powell.

Whilst serving his ban who will you be turning your attention to?

17 squad named on super league site no Hardacker, looks like Bateman and Farrell to centre.

Lynn and Hall both playing well will be a big test for Bateman and particularly Faz.

Bateman seems a cert for centre. It could depend where he plays Bibby and Halsall.
Good to have Ellis back and hopefully O'Neil will get a bench place to interchange with Powell.

I'd prefer Isa at centre - Bateman needs to be in the forwards. Bibby should be dropped after his performance on Friday - he was dreadful in all aspects I'm afraid. He will likely play but if he does I'd want him on the wing.

Thought French was worse than Bibby tbh.

I had sympathy with French - played out of position and simply didn't trust Bibby after his early struggles. At the very least I would have played Bevan on the right (where he played in the NRL) and Miski on the left (where he played all last year).

In the context of what he's done in the past, this breach is minor. He breached an alcohol ban in the run up to Good Friday.

However, he's supposed to be a professional. How hard can it be to stay off the beer for a few days, like the rest of his team mates did?

If he can't do the basic things asked of him and his team mates, he's not a team player so the sooner he's moved on the better.
