We’re going to get dogs abuse for Ellis and Smith not being banned when you look at that list of who has but they’d do it for any English club. It just adds more weight to the fact they need to separate the competitions and bans should count in the one you committed the offence in, unless it’s somet...

It’s something that should’ve been changed permanently years ago. It’s the same with players missing internationals, like Williams in the Tonga series. That Williams ban only goes to prove there will be no leniency from the disciplinary and I fully expect us to be without Smith and Ellis.

Early days but sounds like Rocky Hampshire is doing a good job with the reserves again. Wish I'd seen the game. I'm sure the youngsters are benefitting from playing with him. I hope he gets a game or two with the First Team. I'm glad he stayed. Saw the repeat back on Wigan TV and he looked a real t...

Playing Chan at second row in the reserves will be a must you’d imagine. I wouldn’t be against them picking out the next person in line who they feel could go in to second row if needed and give them time there as well. I look at our props and how they move, how mobile they are etc and it would pro...

Over the 2 games I think he’s just about been our best prop. He looks like he’s had a great pre season and in that form, he can push for a place in the first 17.

Still unbeaten in pre season

Wakefield looked strong. We looked rusty and error prone but like Ted says, that’s what the games are there for. Walters a big positive for us.

Another great watch. The squad seem really close and they all look in excellent shape. It looks an environment where they’re all pushing each other to get better.

And on a side note plenty more tickets look to have been shifted in the last 24 hours. There can’t be more than 600 or 700 tickets left in the whole stadium.

My biggest worry with this game is the amount of people that think the south stand is unreserved. I've spoken to friends who bought separate tickets and there's quite a few on Facebook who still think they can sit anywhere. I know it's definitely set seats but I think there could be problems when p...
