I was always under that impression, but if memory serves at one of the Leigh fans forum they said this either no longer applies or was just a common misconception. Will try and find out.

Quote Builth Wells Wire="Builth Wells Wire"Adam Walker missing for Sunday. One match ban www.therfl.co.uk/the-rfl/disciplinary/item?4171'" Team selection is going to be interesting this week. If no Briers, and Bert is rested for the Saints match, Ratch is going to have to run very fast from halfback to FB and back again. He will be exhausted. I hope TS gives Currie and or Laithwaite a run as well.

I just hope we don't rest too any players and have a Salford or London 2012.

I only watched Salford v HKR this afternoon. It was the game that had everything, apart from tackling and a crowd. Some of the tries on both sides were pure comedy.

We have been in HKRs position many times ourselves and we have always managed a shock victory. As someone said previously, it has banana skin written all over it.

If Briers and Brett are out/rested then currently i'd go with backs of



1.Riley

2.Evans

3.Grix/Currie

4.Atkins

5.Monaghan

6.Ratchford

7.Myler

Or another possibility could be

1.Ratchford

2.Riley

3.Evans

4.Atkins

5.Monaghan

6.Grix

7.Myler

Nah Ratchford at 6 is better than Grix, it's a more important position than centre

He's not at centre, though, he's at full back, which is just as important IMO. Ratch is a proven performer at full back, if Hodgson isn't playing he has to be there, IMO.

Of course if we had GOB, this would be a very simple decision. I don't know what the rules are, but I suspect the RFL will not allow clubs to move players around at will. But it does look as though Castleford will only use him sparingly now that Chase is back.

Think a few years ago you were probably right, but franchising is dead in the water it seems. As for Salford I have always argued for a Manchester rebrand, but then reverting to London Broncos has hardly been a success. Salford fans will maintain that they are a city in their own right.
