Hodgson to full back and Armstrong to centre.

It will be much the same as the game tonight. The difference is we've actually got 15 players unavailable rather than simply resting them.

Armstrong on the wing for me with Senior in the Centre until Tesi is back.

Armstrong would score a pon full !

[Thunder Road]

Senior at centre fills me with dread.

 

 

Maybe ok tonight seeing as Hull have a pon  ful out.

Hodgson may be better but he is far better at Full back

Senior does a good job, but both him and Towse last week was 'questionable' defensively.

Given the reports this morning of Hodgson signing for hull, we may as well keep Armstrong at full back. He’ll come good as he gets match fit

They love an early transfer leak Hull. Sure they put word out of Asiata leaving the day of a game. Bit naughty.

Armstrong would have been keeping fullback regardless of Hodgson staying or leaving.

[Old Frightful]

Apparently Hull have 9 players under 21 in tonight’s team including 2 debuts. No Sezer.
Are the bookies still taking bets?

[Thunder Road]

Old frightful.

I literally feel you pain mate.

Its pants when there are so many injuries. 

 

There's no joy in beating a team thats full of kids.

 

It dilutes the comp.

 

Yes, we all start off with 30+ squads and its a flick of a coin if injuries befall.

 

Leigh have been there and even today after a week off there are walking wounded. 

 

Were there this many injuries in the 1980s ?

And only a couple of days since Lam was lauding the Las Vegas trip saying it was a filip for his Player Retention and Recruitment, 6 Our Father's and 6 Hail Mary's for lying Adrian.

[Thunder Road]

Yes..

Adrian you were telling porkies...

Id make him do the Rosary..Twice..

Just go back to last week’s game, when we only came back in the match when Hodgson replaced Armstrong at full back. Use Armstrong at wing or centre for his pace,

Hodgson replaced Armstrong in the first half and was on the pitch for our worst period of the game.

The difference in performance was, and continues to be when Ipape and Joffa get spelled. It was 16-2 to Leigh in the time they were on the pitch, 0-18 without them

[Old Frightful]

Just been trawling through the internet bookies...does nobody offer high scoring winning margin bets any more?

This is a serious question, btw!

You can get Leigh at 2-1 giving 24.

Senior is no centre- 3 tries conceded on his side last week in 10 minutes
