I know he's only a youngster and he is learning his trade, but Joe Wardill's performance went into reverse against Widnes last weekend. Frankly he had a shocker. He didn't back himself on 3 occasions going for the line and in the process bombed 3 tries most half decent wingers in SL would score. He didn't challenge attacking high kicks put up for him in the corner and he didn't make any effort on defensive high balls to the corner. Then there was his composure meltdown flapping at a bouncing ball, leading to the Thompson try.

Luckily, we had enough overall against Widnes, but against Hull he could be exposed big time and will be a massive liability if he repeats the same or fails to front up better.

Roll on the return of big Josh. As for Dixon in his place, no way, ever, ever, ever.

I don't want to be to hard on him but to me he's bombed a few tries in other matches also he really doesn't back himself but he's young and wouldn't really be playing first team if not for injuries unlike you pickers I'd put Dixon in or even Oaks

No neither do i, just stating as the above questions were asking if he should play on Sunday but it's irrelevant while he is injured

That team would be the strongest line up by far we have been able to field all season and certainly good enough to be competitive.

The only major absentee is Mantellato , ok there's still Larroyer, Salter, Shaw, Dixon, Mulhern (have I missed anyone?) unavailable but it's doubtful if many if any of those could displace those who will be playing.

Joe Wardill in any other season would have been told well done a couple of weeks back and would now be furthering his education again in the COHA. If he plays against Hull he will be targeted and exploited he doesn't need that. Thornley is a highly experienced and prolific try scoring winger so Horne can play at centre and Blair back to his best position in the back row.

I think we might win this game. Hull are a very good team and will be there or thereabouts but like everyone else will have their blips now and again. The mental part is the biggest thing, they have been massively intense - they knew they had to be - in beating Saints & Wigan so however they talk this game up they may not quite have the same edge 3 weeks running. They are due a dip and I just sense Rovers will give them a challenge they don't need.
