He does look to be carrying bad weight. Looks far more creative than Rankin though. Rankin really is very poor at half back, and when combined with an ageing Brough it's no wonder we have zero creativity on the pitch. It is a rather large hole we are in now. We do have some good players but noone has the vision to use them.

Trust me it’s bad weight and been a concern all year

I'd like to see Brough and Turner in the halves. Problem is moving Turner leaves us light in the centre's. Mamo is a good player but because of his injuries has been poor value for money. If an NRL side were interested in him I'd let him go and use the money to to bring in a quality half back.

I don't think an NRL side will be, they hate players that are suspect defensively and sadly Mamo is one of those. He's made for the english game and the more broken style of play but he has shown up badly in the poorer conditions. I think if he were fit at the start of last year instead of making his debut when the ground had firmed up noone would have a good opinion of him.

For me id like to see us try line up like this when everyone is fit.



1. McIntosh

2. Jerry

3. Leroy

4. Murphy

5. Mamo

6. Turner

7. Brough

8. Seb

9. Leeming

10. Clough

11. Mellor

12. Lawrence

13. Hincliffe



14. Roberts

15. Taai

16. O Brien

17. Walne/English (Although Walne is a crock similar to Symonds)

There’s no way you can play McIntosh at FB. His catching is worth three tries a match to the opposition.



He did it again today, although the commentators were convinced it was Simpson.



The lad has to find a position in field or drop down the leagues I’m afraid.



Any SL halfback will take him apart.

Mamo is exactly the same though. He cost us tries against Hull,Wakefield and Saints due to knocking on, just before half time in 2 of the games. We need to give McIntosh an extended run for me and see how he goes. Mamo is fairly quick and im sure would finish quite a few tries on the wing and make many metres coming in also.

How many spiralling bombs did Mackintosh take perfectly against Leeds under pressure??? He was fantastic against Leeds- a young kid who’s not played for weeks and then plays two in three days and you get on his back!!! Think there a more senior players who you should be demanding be dropped first!



He dropped one- Mamo drops theee a game and can’t/won’t pass for toffee but he’s the messiah according to a large number of our clueless.

One tough ball dropped and you want him in the championship . Jeez!

There's some fickle people on here. McIntosh was superb at full back on Friday. Dealt with some very difficult balls. Had a poor game today and some have written him off. We need to be patient with the younger players, give them game time to enable them to develop.

Fans are going to turn on young players quick it’s not right but we ain’t saints Leeds or Wigan who can carry a few young lads having a good game 1 week and poor game next because we ain’t got the senior player to carry them the position we are in now we can’t afaid to bed in young players

Sadly, the club doesn’t have the time to be patient with younger players.



People wanted the structure changed to bring “jeopardy”. Fine, but the flip side of that is younger players don’t get the time to make mistakes. They need to perform. The middle eights are upon us sooner than you think



The system is crazy, but it’s what the fans want.

Spot on. Clubs at the bottom end of the table don’t get the luxury of bedding in young players.
