Carried straight on after it was put back in and fielded some kicks after that which came down with snow on.

Butterworth links in, as mentioned elsewhere check highlights of Butterworth putting numerous passes out to try scorers, 3 in one game at Whitehaven, magic catch n pass to Gill fortnight ago. Yeah he had a shaky couple of games early doors but not since. There's other positions to strengthen before full back.

Check highlights videos of the number of passes Butterworth has made to put outside backs in for tries, latest being the catch and pass for Gill's uphill try v Eagles, the catches he makes from kicks are immense, especially again v Eagles with a dislocated finger. So basically you're saying 'oh great, we've got Joe Bloggs back sit Jack Spratt out? Can we then be surprised if Jack Spratt says right then I'll go somewhere else?

I'll get crucified here, why? We have a capable no1, there are other positions we could fill, we're down on a winger, we have only 1 centre and can't be sure of getting Myers or Gill, a more proactive 7 would help, a big blockbusting prop or good running 2nd row with youth.

So McGowan returns, thoughts on positional changes, hope it's not a Butterworth muck about.

Whenever it was....fact still stands. Now McGowan returns.

They BOTH went straight back into Bulls' team last Sunday....

Sadly our 'leg-up' from Bulls went as quickly as it came, Gill and Liu straight back in their side v Hunslet, wonder who JK will conjure up?

Topic now closed.

It was an enquiry....wasn't looking for 'a story'....

Slightly off topic, but we trumpeted the arrival of Jacob Bateman on a season-long loan, had a fair game v Bradford, then didn't get picked v Eagles and now he's picked in Bulls reserves....what gives?

Agree BullyXL, if you look back to JK's previous tenure it was an exact copy; stick with the plan, performance intensifies at the game goes on, strangle the opposition into submission then just take over. It worked on Sunday, Eagles were blowing by about 50 minutes their forwards didn't come after that, not as a pack anyway, just individual efforts.

Gill got tries 1 and 4. Although James Chapman and Benny Kaye were still in charge, clearly JK had impressed his requirements on them and the players and the game followed the Kear pattern we are already used to. Watch the highlights, some keep telling me they're not convinced about our no1, but he dealt with every kick, even the one coming down with an ice spiral on it and watch the pass to put Gill in at the top corner....

White, always looked for the break and handled superbly today. Brown, immense up front display, rolled a few years back today, probably the oldest man on the field and spent a good amount of time out there in the heat. After much consideration of several names; Walshaw. The whole back line in my opinion was very impressive, Gill threw everything at it, I don't think he knows how to play any other way, who ever he's playing for, Liu didn't get much ball but was impressive in the tackle. Both we could use for longer than a fortnight!
