There is 0 chance of marzhew being dropped. We have a fullback going backwards on his carries, no best .. no chance our best back 5 carrier is dropped. Honestly dont know how that can even be suggested.

Cogger has to go. 28 games for us and they’ve all been poor. Pryce is a risk because of poor defence so Crossland/Hastings is the only option.

Play like we did tonight tans were by 70+. Need to be way better.

I second that. Riley to 14 to maintain the energy coming off the bench.

Armstrong should be given the chance to make amends after today. It was only a matter of days ago that people were chelping about the Roosters trying to poach him.

Greg needs to stay for his yardage out of our end if nothing else. I would also bring in Moceidrike (injury permitting) for the same reason. Plus we need height out wide to go up against Coates.

For all those saying Phoenix should come in at 7, I give it two weeks and you’ll be calling for his head too. I would put him at 6 though alongside Hastings who had a stinker today but then again who didn’t.

Didn't get a chance to watch cup at first opportunity so will go back and watch that to potentially inform selections.

Hastings needs to be out of the side until he signs a contract with Wakefield. Crossland on the field for 80 is a net positive irrespective of what he may lack in the creative department, though I suspect we'd be pleasantly surprised given how much he's grown as a player. We finally get someone in the halves with a long kicking game.

Cogger - sigh, was much better than Hastings tonight. Still looks like he has no idea what he's doing out there which beffudles me, should've probably has 2 assists to Lucas and Hastings but was let down by the other party, actually looked like he might go through a few times when taking that random hitup he defaults to when having a brainfreeze. I saw 2 spiral bombs! Didn't end well but it's the thought that counts, also has our best short kicking game which again Friz messed up for him today. Half his plays still leave you going "wtaf is going on here" but the bar has been set that low at this point in time.

Maps - personally never really seen anything out of him even at Cup level that would suggest he's got it. Probably not ready to throw McCarthy to the wolves yet and don't want to change our future backrow so he gets a stay of execution. Tuala has basically never played a first-grade standard game at centre so I'm not willing to throw him back under the bus when he's been going ok on the wing. Send Ricky whatever he wants to give us Schiller is the only actual answer here.

R Jones and Croker deserve a shot, get Riley on for a short spell to provide some running threat through the ruck - covers everything else as well. Would honestly probably bench Friz and start Hetherington in this lineup just so our rotation isn't such a big drop off.
 
So how did Hetherington and Croker go as starting middles in reserves I hear you say?

Minutes
Hetherington 59 - 73 Croker

Fantasy points
Hetherington 28 - 56 Croker

Number of runs
Hetherington 8 - 22 Croker

Run meters
Hetherington 75 - 174 Croker

Post contact metres
Hetherington 23 - 68 Croker

Tackles
Hetherington 23 at 85% efficiency - 26 at 96% efficiency Croker

The other starting middle was Sebastien Sua - went off with an injury and later returned to play only 44 minutes - still comfortably beat Hetherington in every stat other than minutes played.
