I'm with giving Bowman and Charlesworth some gametime against Blackpool and Loughborough. Can Charlesworth kick?

If we are trying to get Flanagan, he can play stand off.

Did anyone watch Flanagean last season? Did he look like a stand off?

why all this about a stand off, we have one and nobody as even mentioned him, dwayne barker, played stand off at dupper league level, give him the chance while playing in the northern rail cup,if it dont work out then go for it get another player in

I'm sure i've read cas and hull kr fans say that barkers best position was second row or centre though. If govin stays fit i'm more than happy for him to be stand off, he looked very lively of sunday. Plus Govin has got to have a bit of luck with injuries sometime soon.

I would presume those who haven't had much game time will be given it against Blackpool and Loughborough, that includes Wrench and Wilson as well.

Charlesworth missed a fairly simple one against Fev given his reputation he gained at the Irish but he does seem to be the obvious back up kicker for Haley, although Govin is a very good goal kicker as well.

Gov did some kicking practice before the Barrow game, and didn't miss the few he took, (which were out toward the wing).

Paul Wellens looks like a Prop, still doesn't stop him playing full back does it?

Remember the pass he threw outwide against leigh (i think) in the TV game then backed up to score i think? Any stand off would of been proud of that.

Flanagan can also kick goals according to his profile on Wigan site.
