I think Newton may have to sit this one out he was knackered and obviously carrying an injury if I was Morgan I would give bell a go at scrum half as Dobbo is our pivotal player and gets the team more motivated on the pitch than vella imo. The players obviously didn't stick to a game plan yesterday and green needs to keep his gob shut to the ref and we might just scrape a few wins in the next ten weeks but we were pretty cr@p.

I've seen quite a lot of Rovers in the past few years (I was a pass holder for 2 seasons) and it's looked that way to me, with Dobson running absolutely everything, and being the one giving the orders behind the sticks after a try. Would Morgan maybe be inclined to risk Newton and just spell him this week, as if he doesn't play that would be Rovers 2 most pivotal players not playing this week, possibly a big risk.

I will probably get shot down as I don't attend the U20 or academy games, but isn't Bell a stand off, I thought it was Hardcastle who is the scrum half. If I am right, why would we bring in a young 6 to cover 7 when we have a young 7 available to do it. Bringing in a lad to play out of position against Orr and Chase is just asking for a pasting.

Bell is a stand off but when he made the step up to the reserves last season he played mostly at scrum half. Luke Hardcastle who you mention as the scrum half actually played most of his rugby last year at full back or looseforward. Good player but no-where near ready for Super League yet.
