All being fit I suspect we would see them playing the numbers on their back, question then is what to do with Matty Russell, or rather what to do with Lineham?



Well, the question is, what do we do with fullback?

Initially i wasn't keen on the switching last week at widnes, that's molly coddling rusty imo, last night worked ok, but i'd probably just go with leaving penny at fullback full time.

Just my opinions unless it's a FACT, in which case it's a fact.

It's been fun.

Russell is very one dimensional, don't get me wrong what he does well, he does very well but the more i see him the more i think we should play him similar to Carney (Salford), they have similar attributes.

Who else could do what Russell did last night when he burned up the middle? Penny could in free space; Russell just made the space by knocking players out of the way. Someone else will be injured by the time that Sandow is due back so it won't be an issue, but I'd guess if not, then Ratchford will end up on the bench.

Well that would mean dropping penny or Lineham.
I would much prefer to see Russell off the bench. Fresh against a tyring defence he could be even more effective.

Well I did say it when it happened that we need to learn to win without Sandow. I would still prefer all the key men in positions of key areas. That is a natural FB Gidley 6 Ratchford and 7 Sandow.
All this Ratchford is nothing but a centre I've read over and over is proving many poster talk some tosh.


I don't fully agree RD, as surely it's about balance and partnerships particularly as far as HB combo's are concerned. Perhaps Gidley with Ratchford just works as did Gidley/Sandow, as they compliment each other, but would Sandow/Ratchford?

It might do and we might find out during the course of this season, but, if it doesn't then do we conclude that Ratchford isn't a SO?

If we are suggesting messing with Russell after that performance, the lad might as well pack in because he has no chance of winning over Warrington fans. All of our best sets of six contain a run from him, either in play one or later in the set.

It will be a surprise if TS does not have Gidley and Sandow at halves when both are fit. Russell will stay at FB and the wings will be Lineham and Penny when fit. That is our strongest and best brains in the right places. Centres will probably be Atkins and Evans.

I don't think getting the best from Russell is messing him about?!
Getting the best from him means getting the best for the team. The team is far more important than the feelings of Matty and that goes for any player.
