If the future starting second row is to be Walters and Nsemba, what side do you think they'd play? Am I right in thinking they are both predominantly right sided players? Not that it's impossible to switch / retrain to the other side if that's the way forward. I'm not too familiar with where Nsemba ...

Thanks, Exiled Wiganer. I agree with it being a tough place to go and I hope you're right about being at it from the first minute!

I'm not sure if this will be the match thread for tonight but, how does everyone see it going or what are you hoping to see differently from the Cas match last week?

Good question! Funny you should mention this. It came up in conversation last night with my dad. I feel like it's a tactic, mostly because there's not that much deviation from what he's doing. If he were that bad, I think you'd see more errand kicks. I think after the Penrith match he said something...

No apology necessary but, thanks!

Thanks, WarriorWinger. I thought someone referenced it but I couldn't be sure if it was something I read about Union, from watching the first round of Super League or the NRL pre-season!

I found this article from a week or so ago that suggests the smart mouth guards will be used in league so perhaps we'll get more of a real-time idea of how the technology develops rather than seeing what happens in other sports. Is it okay to share a link without copy and pasting the entire article ...
