But you said earlier that you get why we would rest most of our first 17, suggesting (extrapolating just slightly) that it isn’t unreasonable. Our need was short-term, hence short term deals were most appropriate.

Most yes, but could have either played a couple more first teasers or academy players.

You also have two players out on loan at Newcastle you could have called back, one played today, about as experienced as the lad from Warrington.

You haven't broke any rules, but I think it's poor what you have done and it could have been avoided.

You also had 4 players in your 21 who didn't make the 17, including Fishwick who has played a few first team ganes.

I think we ate done here MR, not sure we are going to agree on this and I respect you and your opinion (even if I don't agree ) to get into this anymore.

That's enough then, get him signed, doesn't matter about his coaching experience as he has a few mates in Australia.

Are you telling me you would rather have Sam Burgess as head coach at Hull rather than Paul Rowley?

I probably would yeah burgess has worked under the best coaches in the world and would get the respect of the players which in this day and age with player power is what's needed

So can see why wire are going for something different

Rowley done ok but I've seen coaches at Salford flop at next bigger job as salford never have any real expectations

Rowley is a steady choice at best hasn't exactly set the world alight either !

Sam Burgess one of the favourites for the Wire job. Can't see it ending well if he's appointed

Completely agree as Warrington are much like we were in terms of needing an experienced coach with a proven track record of turning a fractured club round.
Reading the interview with Middleton their chairman in saying they all need to learn from the mistakes I’d be very surprised if they appointed Burgess or anyone with a lack of experience.

Only they hadn’t really as Middleton intimated in his interview as Powell has little experience of rebuilding a squad. What has Powell achieved as a Coach of any real success? Granted he got Cas to a GF but that imploded with the trouble behind the scenes with Hardaker. Since that point they went backwards and Radford inherited a mess which he compounded further himself.

Huge gamble by Leigh, surprised they are playing their three best players today, only a head knock away from missing the final.

Appears to have paid off. A first win at Leeds since before Rovers' last trophy win plus no HIAs or injuries it seems.

Whether Rovers will get an avantage from a week's rest remains to be seen of course.

Yes fair play to them, going to be favourites, got some great form and momentum going into the final, the big pitch will suit there style, Lam amd Ipapa should relish wot the space. Doesn't always work out that way though.

Matt Shaw excitingly put out a report that Asiata went off before half time and didn’t return. He claims he could be injured
