Goulding at Workington

<t>I've just looked at the team sheet for the Workington game and a Goulding seems to be playing at 7. Does anybody know if this is Darrell? If he is there for some match fitness I wonder why at 7 and not in the centre. If he plays today I think it's less likely that he'll play on Wednesday too whic...

Re: Sam Powell, George Williams or Ryan Hampshire

<t>Sadly I think that Hampshire suffered a serious injury last night. Looked like a dislocated shoulder (possibly elbow) to me as he walked off. If that's the case he's out of the picture for some time and we'll need Powell at 6 (he played well) and Sarginson to cover for Bowen. Could be a big oppor...

Re: Sam Powell, George Williams or Ryan Hampshire

<t>Can anyone give an example of a team that has won the challenge cup or grand final with a 19-21 year old half back? I'm not saying that it can't be done but it is unusual. Odd results when very young/understrength teams beat a 'top' side in a one off league match often result from the fact that t...

Re: St Helens on the prowl?

<t>Waney has been quoted today as saying that Sam Powell, George Williams and Rocky Hampshire are all in the frame to be the long term replacement for Blake Green. I'm sure that he wouldn't have said that if he knew that Rocky had signed for another team for next year. Hopefully Rocky will now get a...

Re: St Helens on the prowl?

With this morning's confirmation that Blake Green is going back to Australia at the end of the season I'd expect (and hope)the club to announce that Rocky has signed an extended contract in the next couple of days.

How do Leeds do it?

<t>Leeds rarely seem to lose their top players or most promising youngsters to other super league teams. The loss of BJB form next year is one of the few examples of them 'getting it wrong' in recent years. Clearly they are a very successful team but there must be something else. How do they make th...

Re: Cas on Friday?

<t>I think it's an important game in terms of out attitude for the rest of the season. There's no point sulking about the cup game and I'm looking forward to a good match with some improvement from us. If Sam Powell isn't fit I see no reason why we shouldn't give Rocky a full game at 6 just to see h...

Re: Are we weak in the front row?

<t>Many of us thought that we'd have a problem at prop this season when it became apparent that Powell was leaving and we didn't sign a suitable replacement. Props invariably get injured/need a break during the season and Burke's long term injury deprived us of a back up prop (still think he's a bac...

Re: Squad for Saturday

<t>With Sam Powell out it looks as though Hampshire will get his chance at stand off. I know that many of us have high hopes of him in this position and this will be a big test. I understand that Waney sees Ryan as a fullback at present but am I the only one who thinks he could have been given a cou...
