Or we can just play the kid who's started breaking into the team.

Indeed, Aydin needs the game time. Use it and he'll be better for it next year (as long as its more than the 10 mins or so he's had over the past two games).

I'd take him on a month's loan to cover Green's absence and assess his fitness with a view to deciding whether to sign him for rest of season and whether worth signing for any longer than this season

Could have a point there Stevie, not to mention Tangata.

I think had we have beaten Salford the other night, we would have made it difficult for Leigh to catch us. I think it is now, but that extra win could have given us that cushion, so we can start planning 2022 and beyond.

It would be good to get a couple of decent signings in the forwards early doors to give the fans a lift, rather than waiting until everyone else has done their recruitment, leaving us with the dregs, which sadly always seems to be the way with us.

Give the coach another deal, that’ll bring the fans flocking back.

I thought he didn’t even bring the young lad on against Salford.

It was a very strange decision to play with 16 in those conditions.

He could have been carrying a knock we don't know but there must have been some reason he was not brought on,
And if we were looking for a british prop for next season personally i would'nt turn down Amor for his last season or two.

I think if he’d have been unable to play any part then he wouldn’t have been picked and O’Donavon would have been in his place. It has to have been tactical.

As for Amor he’s still doing the business for Saints, i reckon he’ll do one more year there then retire.

While ever we think that we are safe from relegation, the club will probably be looking to keep their belt fastened as tight as possible.
Having said that, they are going to have to work really hard to get supporter numbers close to where they were pre pandemic.

Our crowd v Saints looked some way short of where it had been for our previous home games this season.

If we cant manage to "sell out" the reduced capacity, "opening up" and the potential for more away fans, wont get us close to the attendances of 2019
