But it really does look like old, bad habits have crept back in. Ok in bursts, then seems to go missing for large periods. Maybe Peet can whisper in his shell-like & stick a wasp up where it'll motivate a little.
To be fair it is not easy when you are in and out of the side. He has little chance to develop his understanding with his teammates.

I can’t see Leeming being back any time soon. Wardle I think was more precautionary. It looks like O’Neill will have to do long minutes and we will run with four forwards on the bench. Cooper will come back for the big games, it looks as though Peet is managing his game time carefully.

I seem to remember Rocky has had a few spells as hooker at Cas - he could take Leeming's place on the bench, and be a similar type of player able to inject a bit of pace at dummy half. Closest like for like swap we have.
Then its a decision on FB and No 6 . Do we keep Eckersley in the team and move him to FB or keep him at Centre , and Adam goes to FB, or keep French at FB and put Farrimond in at 6 - he looks to be able to take a similar running threat and has a short kicking option too close to the line similar to Bevan leaving the organisation to Harry .
I'm favouring putting Farrimond in at 6 as it's the closet like for like with Field and French offering threats at both FB and 6.

Hopefully Wardle will be fine by the time Leigh comes around then it's Eckersley at fb for me if not, French at fb and a decision to be made at 6 between Farrimond and Hampshire

Farrimond all day long,should be a interesting few weeks.

There probably is but he is now keeping a youngster out of the team so this should be his last season

Eckersley looks class and has pace to burn, I'd certainly be playing him in the centre and trying Keighran at 6. We really are blessed at centre at the moment.
Peet seems intent on sticking with Hampshire though (Rocky must have some dirt on him!) despite a very poor first half, knocking on a few times, missing a couple of tackles and jumping the line
Wellens 3/10 Like public transport. Late, slow and stunk
