Inglis
Lineham
King
Mamo
Charnley
Ratchford
Widdop

Yes Inglis could do with more game time yet but I would still go that way.

The short time that Inglis played at full back and how he coped makes me think that a cup game v. Cats is not the time to take the chance.

We have plenty of games coming up. Bit rusty at the moment and I thought he stopped us moving ball to left.

He’ll only get better with rhythm though. Playing him then taking him out the team and then playing him again will do no benefit.

You could see his influence off the ball today, organising and always talking.

The fact that there probably is only a few better than him is a sad indictment of the standard of rugby league at the moment.

2 Questions,
1.How did Sita do, Did he look ok or was he back to huffing and puffing after 10 mins?
2. When hughes moved to right centre who took his place at 2nd row?

Well that will do. Hull KR are a decent side and we came through it, we certainly scored enough points today anyway and I expected to leak a few against a good attacking side who will have been confident after their last 2 matches. Hull KR will turn up to have a go everywhere this season, Lord Tony is doing a great job for them.

I couldn't watch it and didn't get a good idea off the radio how we played but a good result anyway.

I don't think so, although I do think he's even better at 2nd row.

This.
Inglis first touch as FB took the ball up better than any player ive watched recently and I include Ratch in that. He took the ball full on and ran forward. Made plenty yardage. This then influenced the forwards down the middle and we score.

He wasn’t even the best right centre today. Hughes covered while King switched to the left, until that point, King stunk the place out. He was great on the left though..
Hughes stopped the flood at that point.

'And I include Ratchford in that' implies he returns the ball well, the difference between Ashton and Inglis' kick returns and Ratchfords were huge. Today Ratchford knocked a ball on whilst on the floor with no-one near him....led to a try, threw a ball into touch under no pressure, gave away a needless six more on the last leading to another try amongst other aberrations. We shuffle everyone around and no-one EVER considers dropping him....even to the bench. Wire played well today, very good win. I'd want Inglis or Thewlis at FB if Ashton out.
