I think it’s forward thinking to put reserve kickers in a game environment by practice rather than just Leyland.
Use the game for the benefits an easy tie gives us.

Well you certainly do use Ratchford, sorry Smiffy, as you don't learn anything BTW Ratchford played well enough tackled well but ran out of bit of steam towards the end, understandably so, a lot of minutes on a heavy pitch.

Just seen the tries via our website.
The pitch reminded me of times gone by ... looked heavy which of course is a great leveller. The radio commentary I listened to didn't flag it up as much as they might have done.

I thought Leyland had a much better game as a halfback, than Ratchford did and should be the starting half with Williams against the Giants.

Glad that Whitehaven didn`t get nilled and didn`t begrudge them their try, but the guy that scored it should have been sent-off for a blatant trip on Walker before that.

How the ref, didn`t award a penalty try to Walker is unbelievable. Great break by Taylor-Wray who passed to Walker who was tripped by the Whitehaven left wing to stop him from scoring.
