True, Ben Gardiner coming in to replace him.

10 games in we are 4th. I would suggest the next month,  with games against Hull at home, Cas away, and Wakey at home will be pivotal in terms of our season. Win those three and suddenly we look like contenders. If we can manage to bring Hastings into replace Frawley I think our squad (without the sparkle of Wigan and KR) bats deeper than any other in the league. Interesting times.

Do ok in those and the run of games that follow is very interesting too. Even if the Hastings for Frawley thing doesn't happen we still have good depth although I wouldn't want Connor to miss many. Really hoping that Ackers comes back strong, that really would be a bonus.

I think you would have to put Warrington in there as well. To push Wigan so close yesterday with their side decimated with injuries to key players and all their main playmakers missing takes some doing. They also beat us with their entire first choice three quarter line out injured. They’re doing it tough but not being blitzed that often. They’re will be thereabouts when they get everyone back fit again.

Wilkin is a nasty greaseball. He should be pulled from punditry when Saints are involved. He loses any sense of impartiality and starts getting vindictive. It seems Jack Sinfield is going to be his point of reference for any high shots for the rest of the season, as was Richie Myler for months on end when simulation was questioned. Barrie McDermott also needs to be stood down when Leeds are involved. He becomes an absolute buffoon by saying Leeds have got lucky whenever there’s a questionable decision in their favour. He comes out with some child like comments to try and prove his impartiality and sounds like the idiot down the pub that everyone avoids when they see. I didn’t think he could get any dafter when he said it was Lachie Miller’s fault for nearly getting decapitated at Salford last year because he bent down when catching a high bomb, but he was up there on the daftometer again at the weekend.
