Hopefully Moylan is fit to play, and can come in at stand off, with Hughes moving to the bench and Norman out of the 17.

If he’s not fit, I’d put Davis in as an interchange hooker and put Ipape at 6

That first half must be the worst we have played under Lam. The selection of Moylan massively backfired given he is clearly still injured.

They didn’t train between Cas and tonight. Suspect he’ll have them in before Sunday.

Philosophically we appear to still not be able to fight history even if the promise of being in with a chance with no field or French and some momentum lulled even me in but if we'd played that match in week 2 we wouldn't have won it so nothing lost in the scheme of things.

I always expect a player to have the final call as to whether they think they're fit enough to play, hope that hasn't done for us for future matches

Playing Moylan in that game backfired massively. A rib cartilage injury is very painful. Four mistakes made by the team and four tries scored. That first half was woeful. Second half was better, but the game was over. I don’t think the result makes much difference as we are still five points off top six. The next three games are massive and very winnable. Other teams will take points off each other with the remainder of games, so it’s not over yet.

Not over yet, but running out of games now.

Suspect we will ultimately finish 7th, and to be honest if you’d offered me that, along with Adrian Lam’s new contract and the new academy. I’d have taken it at the start of the season especially with Asiata and Ipape missing so many games

Some good signs , Trout probably had his best game , Halton sill looks good but made a few mistakes .Feel sorry for Jack Hughes , it was a clumsy tackle and should have been a penalty given that the game had only just started . We missed Amone and Ob , but we still don't look well drilled , disciplined or have that consistent work rate to compete with Wigan . They just out worked and out kicked us .

Picking a clearly unfit Moylan was a very poor decision and we paid the penalty.

It was a fantastic sight last evening to see the whole of your support applauding Billy Boston who turned 90 years old yesterday. That’s what RL is all about .
