I would rest a few players for sure after Friday. Will be a lot of aching bodies. Still need to put out a team what can win though.

Evalds back at full back

O'brien and Richardson in the halves (Trueman back in week after and Richardson out)

Eden in and rest Shenton or Turner

Would like to rest McShane but he's our MVP so not sure we can.

Just watched a re-run of the Leeds game and Blair did'nt come back on after the head knock, Maybe playing in the pack is too physical for him at the moment. Other players are making more yards than him, If we are going to rest players for the Leigh game i'd rest him.

Not coming back on after a head knock is taken out of the players and coaches hands through the Head Injury Assessment protocols. That’s like saying GOB not coming back on v Warrington was his own fault.

Absolutely. He surely can’t be criticised for that.

Unfortunately, some will always take an opportunity to stick the boot in. Even when the facts don’t support their views

Looks like Leigh struggling on the injury front, four definitely out and three classed as doubtful. With the strength in depth in our squad we should be able to rest anyone struggling after the cup game and still have enough to put them away.

Agreed. They put that much in to the Wigan game on the opening day that they don't seem to have recovered. Between them and Wakey for the drop, but think they might just edge it.

Powell won’t play youngsters unless he has to but I agree I’d like to see him given a go again. Reminds me of Joe Philbin when he first came through where he used to run and tackle at 100 mph.

Well the early betting has Cas at an unbackable 1-14,or if you fancy Evens Cas giving Leigh a 22 point head start. Way too short in my book but there'll be plenty who'll take the handicap odds.

Anyone know if you can pay £4.95 to watch the game on Our League App? I know season ticket holders can watch it. I would be willing to pay the club for a code to watch it if possible.

Great question usacas.

I e-mailed ourleague@streamamg.com this evening and asked for some help with it.

I don't understand why it's free (I think) to season ticket holders but anyone who is unable to have a season ticket (mainly geographical reasons but there are others that apply) can't pay to watch - even if it was more expensive than £4.95. The fact that we can't go to games at the moment makes it even more difficult to understand.

I've had the standard RFL response back ("as you are a season ticket holder....." :roll: ) but will update when something more helpful comes back.

Ridiculous if you can’t pay to watch it - they are streaming it anyway so what’s the issue? Well, we know the issue - 3 letters, RFL! If they won’t do it then the club should use it as a chance to make a few quid and sell streaming codes for non ST holders.

Exactly. I would always prefer to go and watch a game live but there are times when it's just not practical when you don't live locally.

All clubs want to get fans into grounds but there is a balance to strike by providing a pay per view offer for those that can't get there - even if it's not a live stream. I'd happily pay £10 to watch Friday's game.
