Can Horo cover 9 as well or, did I dream that he'd played there in the odd game

Ashurst has also covered in the past.

Good job you’re not the coach. Jeez

I dont blame the wingers for last weeks shambles!! Toupou had his worst game for Wakefield in a long time, yet still ended up the most metre maker. The main reason was the pack selected by the coach. The pack was completely out played and lost the ball in the collision many times. The ball never reached the wingers once in attack, as any passing movement was stopped by a forward, just running the ball in. Hope this was not down to the coaching again.

The optimistic view is that we always had our eye on the Saints game and took London for granted and we've been planning to "do a job" on Saints for half of the close season.
I'm clinging desperately to this theory as the alternative is slightly unpalatable.

Come on Trin !

Fantastic coaching there with a knee jerk reaction.
We moan about not playing the best 13 and you want to prat about with the best centres/wings we've had for ages.
Glad you're only on here.

Unbelievable that after one game someone would drop a dream team centre and an England centre for Arundel.
Fair enough if after 3 or 4 games they are under performing give Arundel a shot.
Really is a load of poop on here at times.

Belly is talking about wingers. not centres, Tupou moves on to wing and a quality defensive [and with a natural rugby league brain] centre in Arundel moving in to centre to take his place. its not rocket science given we are playing Saints who will run us ragged if we play like we did against London.

Stick rocky in at hooker ,move bish to fullback, arundal on at centre

Re: Next up - Saints : Sat Feb 09, 2019 8:43 am  

Stick to what we know, the only changes will be in the forward imo.

Although there were mistakes a plenty last week, our main weakness was defending down the middle.
Our forwards, on the day, weren't up to the task in hand.
To start and change all of our three quarters and FB is leaving the main problem unsolved.
Although there are a couple of injuries which necessitate changes, there is a case for putting the same players back on the park to show that they can defend.
Having said that, Saints have some real grunt in their pack and England coming back in is a must.
