Yea can’t move eckersley for me. Sure it was mentioned by Peet that he was last min cover for saints ideally could do with him building games at FB to face off against Warrington. Hampshire still think should go at 9 and swap out with O’Neil

Watching Eckersley in the Saints game , I couldn't help thinking how much he reminded me of a young Kris Radlinski, with his running, reading of the game, agility and tackling, not to mention appearance.
If he matures into something only approaching 50% of KR, we're onto a winner.

Wigan appealing Keighran ban

Passi should be charged after the shoulder to Dupree's head

Head clash they said on the night, which is some form of miracle, as Paasi's head is therefore doubling up as one of his shoulders. It was more obvious than Havards, which they also called as a head clash on the night but that was then charged and a fine given.

As I keep saying, I don't want to see anyone banned, so good on Paasi for getting cleared but it all continues to make no sense and be totally inconsistent.

Eckersley should be FB until Field/French return, he seems a better fit there.Nathan Lowe is probably the furthest on of the Reserves centres but still raw, maybe Walters to centre with Cooper returning.

Eckersley
Miski
Walters/Lowe
Wardle
Marshall

Farrimond
Smith

Havard
O'Neil
Thompson
Farrell
Nsemba
Ellis

Walters/Lowe/Byrne
Mago
Dupree
Cooper

Who’s Lowe mate? Matt Peet prefers to have one of Havard and Thompson on the field at all times so I think one may start on the bench.

Lowe plays in our Reserves and is a decent prospect (there are a few!) but most physically mature I'd say. Problem is he doesn't have much experience at the Senior level but that's was true of Eckersley/Farrimond/Nsemba
