Perhaps edge at 6 with Taylor and Jack in centres ?
where is junior - it’s been ages since he played, saw him at our home (Wigan) game and he looked fit as a fiddle
but again no update from club
Where’s this thing of edge playing 6 come from? You’d be better sticking Owens there and keep edge centre where he does most of his damage
@scouseviking55 agree, Edge has never been a stand off. Full back converted to a centre. I see him as a back rower later in his career like Westwood or Ellis.
After Warringtons performance last night I cant see Hayes playing for them next week. Attack was absolutely terrible against a rubbish Hull side.
What’s your line up then ?
if you play edge in the centre he needs to get the ball from the stand-off
I’d like to see Frank Sergent come into the side with perhaps Owens going to standoff… back line of Butt & Sergent wings, Edge and Taylor in centres (give Ince a rest).
We shall see tomorrow…
1.Connell
2.Butt
3.Taylor
4.Edge
5.Ince
6.Owens
7.Gilmore
8.Murray
9.Johnson
10.Langtree
11.Wilde
12.Roberts
13.Hall
14.Fozzard
15.Lawton
16.Houghton
17.Billington
18.Sergent
By the looks of that squad it's screaming Owens is playing 6...the only gripe I have with that is we've recently gone from in very good form and good shape with a 6 that's happy to carry to the line with the risk of getting whacked for a late offload ...to jack that won't take the ball to the line even as a centre for the fear of getting whacked .
As we are past the halfway point of the regular season would like to see Sergent a run out to see what he can do.
suspect next week will be our strongest team selected
I would like to see Sergent play as well as sounds like potentially an exciting player. Only problem is Ince and Butt don't need a rest as they have just had one. Could play vs Doncaster with the short turn around for a Wednesday game. I think we should pick him vs some of the League 1 sides, especially Crusaders as all their decent players have moved on. I would have played him vs Salford to be honest.
Agree there chap - but he won’t feature next week for sure
