Great points about Shorrocks. He proved earlier in the season that in attritional games, that his lungs and fitness were an asset. His performances v Wire and Saints on Good Friday are definitely worth considering at this time of year. KPP has gone very well at prop at times, so it's well worth a shout.

He has also cost us two games this season.

I would rather pick Hampshire.

The pen at Wakey was a joke to be fair to him and I’d rather look at the ridiculously dumb performance for the 79 minutes and 55 seconds before that. I’d also look at games like Wire away and Good Friday before looking at the two games you mention. He was absolutely immense defensively and you need that in play off rugby.

That game still hurts, not to mention the ridiculous knock on call in GP that pretty much decided the game.
On Shorrocks, think he’s been at the centre of a bit of unfair criticism, the harsh penalty at Wakefield, was unfairly sent off in the semi final, and just not found his way back in with the squad being settled and playing well together, I’ve heard he’s had meetings with Peet over his future though.

He did pretty well off the bench on Friday, setting up that Mago/Powell try. I think he'd be the best bet for a bench spot too. I do wonder if he'll end up at Leigh.

That’s what the chat with Peet was about apparently, wants to play week in week out, can’t blame him, it’s a short career and was open about how much he enjoyed those couple of weeks at leigh.

Would be gutted to lose him. He’s a fantastic utility

I’d be worried if Shorrocks wasn’t talking to Peet about his future.
I think that it will be difficult to keep him.

Brilliant, card carrying Latics fan for our biggest game of the season. Some will still say the RFL don't have it in for us.
