He has only played two games hasn't he?

Poor on one ( whole team was) and did well against top of the league in the other.

I think if Radford thought he was doing well we would have seen Tuimavave continue at centre (which seems to be his best position)instead of moving him to 6 and bringing in Yeaman.
I expected to see a fitter, leaner, faster Abdul this season given his extended run last season but he doesnt seem to have done that unlike several of the other younger fringe players who seem to have added bulk but not fat.

Re: Whinos (A) : Thu Apr 14, 2016 9:36 pm  

Abdul is only 20, Radford like other young players is easing him in, if Pryce is out he is the best option.

Although it wouldn't surprise me to see Washbrook play there.

Big game tomorrow now considering it could put us 4 points clear of 5th if Wigan win and we do

Re: Whinos (A) : Thu Apr 14, 2016 11:35 pm  

Not sure I buy the Shaul story tbh. Even if he has got a stomach bug, Thursday morning is very early to rule him out. They would wait and see how he is tomorrow. I also fully expect Ellis to play.

Even if it's worst case scenario and Shaul, Ellis and Pryce are all missing we should still have enough to get a result.

Smacks of mind games. Feel like a 'big club' now.

All clubs do it although that doesn't mean that we'll see Ellis and Shaul playing.

Why does everyone keep saying bring Whiting back we have lots of talent in his position, he's been a great servant but his times passed Washbrook will go 6 if Pryce out

Naughton
Michaels
Fonau
Yeaman
Talanoa
Washbrook
Sneyd
Taylor
Houghton
Watts
Manu
Pritchard
Bowden
Subs

Think part of it is a chance to say goodbye and thanks. Would be great for him to have one last swansong. Hopefully he'll be in attendance at the Catalans game so we can give him a good send off.

Back to tonight, that looks a good team, but hopefully we won't miss Shaul too much (if he is out), as he has dragged us back into games with his xfactor.
