Our prop interchanges are going to be the difference between being in and out of the 8 this season IMO. I said all along we were too light in the front row and god help us if watts and/or paea get injured
Green was poor and lost the ball from the kick off return after we had set ourselves up to possibly nick it near the end. Salford scored from the subsequent possession.

No idea how many mins but given he's made more tackles than any prop I assume it's been during a period of limited ball. It's interesting he's made more metres a carry than any of the others. 3 metres a carry against watts stats. That's not much to judge on though with only 6 carries opposed to 17. But last game v wire greens carries n metres per carry were identical pretty much to watts n paeas but more tackles than paea n just short of watts n on less game time I'd guess at. Green isn't a world beater but personally think he's getting unfairly singled out. All that said I'd like to see feka. Love the energy he brings

The props should be Watts, Paea, Feka and either green or Bowden.
Thompson should be played out wide as he can cause serious damage out there like he showed last night. Other option is Ellis at prop, but again I like he out wide.

I wasn't there last night but I'd stick with Yeaman. By all accounts he had a poor game but he tends to play well against Leeds and a bit harsh dropping him after one game imo.
But Thomson has started the season great. I can't think of many players that can play back row, prop and centre aswell as he does.

Think thompson better at prop. He's unique in that position. Gives us something different
