Love it "Death Pitch"

You know someone is going to pick that up. Lol.

So, apparently, the "Death Pitch" lives!

There has to be some doubts whether Butterworth is ready and I think in an ideal world at this point you’d have him out on loan for a good stint in the championship to help his development. We might not have any option though so if he gets the gig fingers crossed he rises to the challenge.

If Langi is fit I think it would be interesting to see how he goes at 1.

Having played at 6 and having a strong carry he should have the ability and basic core skills for the role.

That would leave Hall and Lynn at centre.

Not ideal but maybe the best option of a bad bunch.

You have to be the fittest guy on the field at full back.
Langi doesn't strike me as a full back.


I'd either put Hall there or Kershaw as he covered in the last game.

Death Pitch or The Pitch of Death sounds like a good marketing tool.

If I was a cynic, I'd think other clubs could be using the pitch as an opportunity to gain an advantage when playing away from home, especially if said team were going to be missing a few key players.

We’ve put ourselves in this position by using the pitch sooner than recommended.

Perish the thought, thought this was the Rugby League family, they wouldn’t do that to the poor relations, Would they?

No doubting that, but an inspection this morning should've confirmed it either way. We saw with Covid how some clubs used the rules to their benefit. Now all they have to say is they have concerns about the pitch and bang a neutral venue.

Not quite right, in fact not true.
