Albert was great for us, a proper running half, but he’s not the answer now, a running kicking scrum half will balance out the side, Lewis fits this option, and Smith will probably know him better than most.

This decision regarding Knowles is disgraceful, a further proof of favouritism, and worse by those in charge, a sad day for rugby league, there is no honour in our game.

Completely agree Rider and as a Hull fan looking as both the Rhyse Martin and Morgan Knowles incidents for me there is no doubt which incident was the worst of the 2 and that is a fan that does not particularly like Leeds but they have been shafted by the RFL and disciplinary.
The game or rather the RFL just have no integrity at all and found myself emailing the RFL this morning to say as much though no doubt my email will be consigned to the FRIVOLOUS category and deleted.

Some talk on the Warrington board that Joe Philbin, might not get into the Warrington 17 and might end up going out on loan, I'd definitely take him on loan, Smith will know him well too, could play in the backrow or prop (move Sao to backrow).

Would certainly take Philbin, always puts a shift in

Only player it could be was Connor, take Longstaff and Philbin.

I'm not saying I would, but that's the only player I think they would take.

Surely they wouldn't take Griffin, not on last years form, injury issues and the wage he would demand.

Just a suggestion. I've always rated Philbin but like a lot of other Warrington players he has been very poor this season so they may be some truth in him being loaned out.

Like Griffin maybe a change of club would revive his career.

It could be that for whatever reason they just don’t work well under the coach at the time. Philbin looked decent under Price but poor under Powell but then again who didn’t at Wire. Griffin was ok under Radford and looked ok until his Achilles and has looked off it since so maybe a lot to do with lack of confidence.
