Whether Warrington this weekend comes too soon or not, Yates should be in the side at 7 every week with Wilkin moved to 6. He would take some of the kicking and organisational responsibilities off Wilkin and could be looked after in defence. Charnock will be in the squad soon enough but I believe Brown is still trying to find out his best position moving forward!

That means it will be hiho.

Brown seems to stick with lame ducks.

I don't think anyone thinks Lance is Frank Myler, and I feel embarrassed to say he is the safest option. If he is up for it his defence is pretty strong.

Both, Brown will want to have a stable half back partnership and I would agree with him. There are other players that could play at 6 (we all have our favourites) but they were available for the Leeds game (was Hohaia injured?).

Pick your halves and stick with them.

So after seeing Ashe's performances against Widnes and Leeds, you'd be happy for him to continue at 6? I'm shocked at that.

Hohia injured his back in training prior to the Leeds game but I read somewhere he should be ok for this weekend.

Is that a threat or a promise?

I knew I had missed a few in charnock and swift. I know it's a baptism of fire but it is only the same as Percy had. My only concern is defence. I be seen the rest and attack does not offer much. Lance and ashes have been caught defensively at times. I included Hogwarts as he will defend and can draw a man. Not a hooker but could offer to fill a role at six. It's picking the least worse option.

Auto correct really is great at times.

That's probably my worst post ever. Or maybe it's the best.

It takes time to form proper combinations. Ashe being a young player will not get involved as much as he should but the more he plays the more effective he will become.

Given Wello is out injured it will be interesting to see which way Brown goes. I am not sure if Makinson at full back has worked plus his try on Monday show how well he works well outside Percival, I would stick with him on the wing. Brown does have the option to move Ashe to full back an put Charnock or Hohaia (if fit) to stand off. Hohaia as a full back is another option, again another player suited to the position. Brown may have no option but to chop and change.
