Yes, Ben, has really improved under Adrian Lam, especially his goal-kicking. Even if we do get Tyrone May, who wants to play 6 apparently, Ben would be a good squad member.

I could only see the highlights. Can’t get it live because of my location. Are defence was terrible, as Lam says put that game to bed, it was always going to happen. No one wants to miss Wembley. Next week is going to be difficult also as what team do you put out. I would rest Lachlan and probably go with Reynolds and Mellor in the halves and Smith at hooker and Ben Davis. We need to give Kai some game time also to be match fit for Wembley.

Could be a few factors regarding Bens departure, should it be confirmed as true.
Longer contract, closer to home or being paid a boat load of money to spearhead their promotion, should they finally win promotion.

Not a great performance all round, but Reynolds in particular had a stinker. I am not surprised that Chezzy has been been charged with finding a quality overseas half back.

As for Smith playing, I think he is very much out of favour.

Played out much like our first match against them did. A very tired squad and performance.

Still, given Wire's and Salford's results, ours isn't the most embarrassing of the week.

Leeds shouldn't be as difficult a tie but it depends on the squad we put out, it's difficult to gauge if going into the final on the back of two straight defeats is good for morale or the best policy if we can get a full squad complement in contention to be selected from.
