Are you referring to Herr Pes that famous German prop? Apparently he has blistering pace.

Apart from Lineham we obviously don't fully know how fit the lads are that have been MIA due to knocks. I know it's sudden death RL AND WITHOUT JINXING ANYTHING but do we think that there's still an element of squad management left in the competition?

This isn't meant a pee take but for example it might mean us starting with Lineham to get him into contention for the next round IF we can pull off a win whilst having Ashton at FB and Ratchford on the bench would give us cover options and means that mighty only have to go with one of D Clark or Walker if they aren't quite ready.

Interesting selection for Price, yes we will miss Cooper but the emergence and form of Ashton Thewliss and Longstaff does give us something to think about ...my head hurts, so perhaps strongest 17 this week and worry about next week IF we get there

You know if ashton drops out altogether and we get beat we'll hear about that from the usual suspects all off season, even though price is leaving

I think the question is which one of Ashton/Thewlis/Lineham plays left wing.

Given Lineham wasn't played vs Cas, it seems as though Price has lost his patience with him. Would be surprised if he gets back in.

Thought the same, i'm going for 'no substitute for pace' and 'Price picking his favourites' in the hindsight bingo.

Yes the time for Lineham to play was vs Cas, unless he had an injury we didn't know about. I think Thewlis will be the pick for the playoffs

My view too.

I don`t think we will see Lineham play for Wire again.

Unless there's an injury and I think Lineham thinks the same judging by the look on his face when he got pinged last time out

And if he plays and knocks on to gift Hull KR a try, then the same people will say he shouldn't have played (remember Salford they'll say).
