We do have more centres than just Bridge and Ratchford - how is Rhys Evans getting on?

Rhys put in a very good defensive stint against Saints last Friday, but he doesn't seem to have fully regained his attacking flair. He has been out for quite a while, so I suppose we can not expect too much from him.

Hate to be the one to make sense but Blythe, if fit, would do perfectly well against Saints. He's played well against them before, we still have the best back line in the competition in Riley, Atkins and Monas, and he was MOM when we beat the try hard Pies last season.

I'd just put Blythe in and hope for the best.

Blythe looked very lively when he came on at centre on Sunday.

See, plenty of centres. I have to wonder if this kind of discussion would happen if, say, Carmont was injured - how much cover do they have?

Good thing about Blythe is also he can help out in the forwards if needed.Hopefully do enough to win this week then have a little time to get some players back

It's harsh to say, but, if Westwood is anything less than 80% fit for that weekends match, then he shouldn't play.
We cannot afford to be carrying passengers.
Sport is rutheless.
Teams will target him.
It's just a shame Ben has got injured at the wrong time.
Hoping for a speedy recovery.
Did Cullen take that hyperbaric chamber to Widnes?????

I tend to shut my ears, until the 19 are named.

So do I, but hasn't the chosen one already said Westwood wont be playing (it is, after all, a lengthy injury, from what we've been "told")

Isn't there a good young second rower called Curry who might be given a chance this week ?
