I’m prepared to give him time to get right... it’s early season. To state after the game that he may not be ready for Cas, the Wigan coaches must have known it was a risk to give him a go.
We have adequate cover with Bullock
If clarke isnt picked again im inclined to think it was wasted salary cap space

I wonder if it's against his old club will influence the decision or not ? It could work both ways.
If I remember after he signed for us, Powell never picked him, and then when we tried to bring the signing forward, Cas refused and instead loaned him out to Leigh.
Typical Powell that, although I know we were battling with them for a Pay-Off spot.

Anyone who has Wigan TV look in the archives at the Saints V Wigan game 1992 that's what forwards was all about the props are whimps in todays standards and whats more they played 80 min. Skerrett and Platt were our props .

Why was Burgess even on the field he never looked right from the start Should have been picked up in training ?

His selection certainly did him no favours. Time to get him fit and ready to play, if that takes six weeks then so be it.

I'm hoping we replace George with Joe Bullock until George is fit. Any more games like the last one and his confidence will start to suffer. I'd also play the 'great performance against a former club' card that we see so often and include Clarke too. Great to see young Harvard play so well but Cas away is not an easy one and we have to feed him in gradually. It's early days but Toronto at home looks an easier task than Cas away if we want to try new things/rest people.

I would agree with that 100%.
