I think Philbin has really upped his game recently, almost back to his best.


Agreed, I thought the game against saints the other week was the best I've seen from him for a long time.

I’d play Stef at 13 next season, put Thewlis at Fb. Ashton takes a wing spot with Jc

Ratchford then plays as an extra link player with Williams and Widdop.

We just signed Minikin, that puts questions on Ashton.

Hard to say what Powell favours, they converted adam milner from hooker to 13, but he tends to start on the bench a lot, but with cas always having injuries, they have a lot of players filling in. I might have a look through some team sheets to see who's there more than others


I’d say Powell like players that play, a bit like Tony Smith. Now Powell at Cas in recent times he has lost a lot of these players. When he rocks up at Wire I’d like to think Powell has some very good link players who play, and will create opportunities for others.

Nonsense. Minikin is back up to Ashton.

So a prop at 35 36 years old is going to give you two good years. No sorry I don’t see it. Let’s go spend that wage cap on a prop


Agree with this too, if the correct replacement isn't available this year then a 1 year contract is right for the club. If we give him 2 years we miss out on any suitable replacement prop who would be available at the end of 2021 and 2022 or we have a massive amount of cap tied up in props for a season.

I am hopeful we have got someone signed already rather than the last minute KFP mission to Australia for recruitment which has so far yielded very little other than wasted cap space.

Powell wouldn't have let Hill go for no reason, he'll have somebody lined up to replace him. Gutted he's gone and whoever comes in has MASSIVE boots to fill, so we'll wait and see who comes in.
There's no way Bullock (if signed) Is Hills replacement. He'd take up Sita's spot in the prop rotation and if he gets his form back will be a very handy addition. But we still need a Big Solid Prop.
Ashton i don't think will be retained but we'll find that out tomorrow after the match i suppose :-)
This is his last year contracted with us isn't it? Or did i forget he signed a new deal?

If as a club Wire thought Hill was good enough for two year deal, he would signed it. But Wire don’t. So Hill signs elsewhere and for me that’s a professional club been right in its decision. Yes, Hill has been an absolute class act, but we move forward.

Hmmm. But the same club thought Asotasi, Ryan Bailey, Gary Wheeler and Latu were worthy of deals so I'd suggest that someone, somewhere has impaired judgement.

Or is just plain dumb.

As disappointed as I am that Hill is leaving, I'll be absolutely fuming if we let Ashton follow him out the door.

I can't see Ashton staying if he hasn't already signed really. Same goes for Jason Clark.
