I’d give Currie a couple of games at full back see if he can do it

Is this a wind up

Our attack might suffer from ratchford being out. But let's be honest, it hasn't been great recently anyway. But our goal line defence(whoever fills in there)will improve massively. And that's what wins grand finals.

How do you work that one out? Has Mamo or Johnson suddenly become Adrian Morley overnight?

I'm sure he could...3+ years ago.
He's struggling to regain anything near that form atm.
I expect it to take a season.

Currie to full back? Is that what is called “thinking outside the box”?

Currie at full back? Watching Saturdays game,he was easily brushed aside for two of KRs tries and was caught ball watching when they kicked through and scored.

You sure you was at the right game?

Mr Currie is, to a certain extent, trading on past glories right now. I would expect that his fitness is no longer the issue, he needs to rediscover some form.

Returning to Ratchford, the BBC are reporting a 12 week recovery with him expected back in August. In the meanwhile we'll just have to get on with things, we're still a lot better off than most teams with regards to major injuries / squad depth. Having Mamo and Lineham back this week is excellent timing. I've not seen any reports regarding the injury that saw Atkins go off but I'm expecting that Mamo will go straight to full back, Lineham to wing and Goodwin back to centre. I'd like to see Matt Davis back in for this week as I'm afraid Bennie Westwood is looking as though this year is a season too far.

Could this be a psychological problem? Going in ‘half cocked’ for fear of ending up back at square one perhaps?

I dunno, just a thought either way.

We've missed Lineham
