That's still not a reason for moving your best player. Put anyone there - Gildart, Marshall, Smith etc. Just not JH.

It's like sticking Ronaldo in centre mid because "he can do a job' there, but totally ignoring that he's he's your only attacking threat.

Ive seen nothing in Hanley to suggest he's the next big thing - would people be saying persevere with him if it wasn’t for his name?

if Isa picks up a ban, surely time to bring back the Hank

Hankinson is on a season long loan . Does anyone actually know if it is possible to recall him ?

To be fair Hanley is our only available full back so I think in this case yes people would still be calling for him to be picked. Having said that, I definitely think he got a crazy amount of slack at the start of the year, that wouldn't have been afforded to other youngsters. I hope him not being called up is related to his personal life rather than ability, because if he can't get a game at FB when French, Hardaker and Field are all missing ,then it isn't going to happen.

Ahead of next week's season opener with Leigh Centurions, Lam could be without four senior members of his backline. Liam Marshall continues to recover from an ACL injury while Dom Manfredi is set to miss the first three weeks of the season after sustaining a thumb problem. Oliver Gildart has a groin injury which means he is a doubt for the opening day battle with the Centurions, while new signing Jai Field has a back problem which could rule him out too. The continued uncertainty over Bevan French adds further doubts to Lam's team for round one. That has left some fans wondering whether the club could recall Hankinson, who has joined Championship club London Broncos on a season-long loan. However, the Warriors can recall Hankinson at any time should they wish to do so.

No this is from the Manchester evening news in MARCH when we were playing forwards in the centres.

Re: Hastings needs To Kick : Sun Jul 11, 2021 10:10 am  

If we are so short of backs, why has Sam Halsall not been recalled from his short term loan?
