00:00Paul Wallens was asked after the game
00:07what he felt his best spine was
00:09and he just said
00:10I prefer to keep that in-house
00:12but I think I agree with it
00:14I don't think he knows
00:15the 10th combination in the halves
00:17was pretty telling
00:18and with George Whitby sat on the sidelines
00:20you're just sort of thinking
00:21I don't think he knows
00:23which way to go
00:24and you know
00:25penultimate round of the season that was
00:28that's pretty alarming isn't it
00:29it's worth noting as well
00:31there are 10 combinations
00:32but they've not necessarily
00:34it's not been through injuries
00:36they've not had like
00:37you look at Huddersfield
00:38who've had like
00:39half of their spine out all season
00:41and then they'll get one back
00:42and then they'll lose it
00:43and they've had to make changes
00:45because of that
00:45since obviously
00:47Walesby was out for a period
00:48but they haven't had
00:49like loads of injuries in there
00:52it's just kind of been
00:53just changing up almost
00:55for the sake of
00:56well this might work this week
00:58it might not work
00:58I think it's
00:59it does look a bit
01:01directionless
01:03which
01:03feels quite harsh to say
01:05but I think it's probably true
01:06yeah for me
01:08you mentioned
01:09M. By going to the Q Cup as well
01:11I think he might be the man
01:12to come out this week
01:13you throw George Whitby in
01:15just to play that
01:16just to play more of that
01:18scrum half role
01:18you know
01:19personally I'd put
01:21Jack Wellsby back
01:22to full back
01:23I'd play
01:23Wells
01:24I'd play
01:25Whitby and Lomax in the halves
01:27and Clark at nine
01:28and I'd bring
01:29Tristan Saylor off the bench
01:31as I've said before
01:32I really like him coming off the bench
01:33as that impact player
01:34but also
01:35he's played it a couple of times
01:37this season
01:37playing hooker
01:38yeah
01:39Saylor off the bench
01:41reminds me a little bit
01:42of when Mikey Lewis
01:43came off the bench
01:44in the series
01:46international series
01:47at the end of last year
01:48obviously
01:48I'm not sure
01:50it might have been 2023
01:51but
01:51Lewis kind of
01:52he came on at hooker
01:53and he did have
01:54a lot of impact
01:55and he's kind of that
01:56X factor
01:57Saylor does that
01:57he brings the running threat
01:58and I think
01:59you can't
02:01you can't play him
02:02at full back
02:02because Wellsby's the better player
02:03and he's not a half
02:04you also can't really
02:06put him on the wing
02:06so I think if you want to use him
02:09you've got to use him
02:09in that impact role
02:11and when
02:12Wellsby came back
02:13from his injury
02:14against Huddersfield
02:15that was where they played him
02:16and yeah
02:17it's Huddersfield
02:18they were already losing
02:19by 30-40 points
02:20but he looked really sharp there
02:22and I think
02:23you've got a game
02:24against a team
02:25that you should beat
02:26I mean Casford looked defeated
02:27their grand final
02:28was against Wakefield
02:30they won that
02:30and then
02:31last week
02:32on Friday
02:32they were terrible
02:33and I think they're probably
02:34going to be terrible again
02:35I think Chris Chester knows
02:36that so many players
02:38leaving that team
02:39and you can't really
02:40get a tune out of it
02:41so
02:41yeah
02:42like you said
02:42throw in Whitby
02:43give him some confidence
02:44because you're probably
02:45going to have to call him
02:46in the playoffs
02:46because he may well
02:48be the answer
02:48and Saylor playing at nine
02:50against a tired Castleford
02:52when he comes off the bench
02:53I think
02:53that spells points for me
02:55so I'd agree with
02:56what you're saying
03:05and he's both
03:10and he's pushing
03:11out
03:12so
03:12that's
03:12why
03:12to be
03:13good
03:14than
03:16I think
03:16could be
03:17he'll be
03:18I'm
03:18and he'll be
03:19all want
03:20and he'll be
03:22with me
03:26man
03:27and
03:28we're
03:29he'll see you
03:30and
03:30but
