00:00yeah i actually think it's the right way to go i think if he's if he's above 75 percent i think

00:11it's it's the place i think you're only using mickey mac for 20 minutes i think that's it he's

00:17asked to go do 20 more minutes of his of his career that's it and i think it's worth it for

00:23him to set the tone i i probably agree that it's broadband or that it's the bench i think would be

00:28if maculorum starts would be litten uh whitbread um luckily and then uh you're probably looking at

00:36reese martin or bachelor whichever second row doesn't start um i think it's probably i'd that's

00:43the way i'd go i look back to the i can't it was an early it was the early game which it was the

00:48first loss when they lost to wigan at home and it's the game where maculorum gets injured and

00:54for the opening wigan actually took the lead but they only took the lead after

00:59maculorum goes down with his injury and then zach eckersley basically pinched the ball and exposes

01:05the fact that maculorum's maculorum comes across the sideline they have the scrum set and wigan

01:10see that shift the ball to that right where maculorum's effectively depending on the wing

01:14and he obviously gets skinned by zach eckersley but the first 20 minutes of that even though the score

01:18was nil nil hulk are well on top and maculorum was a big reason for it you then get obviously

01:25litten coming on fresh at 20 minute mark which potentially is when wigan might change their

01:29hooker as well i think that's a lift when litten comes on because like you say he's been the best

01:35hooker in the competition so bringing him on having with mickey mac having played that final stint of

01:40his career and you get the lift there as well you also get the big game experience and another point

01:45to note as well is if jared warrior hard grooves gets a ban we don't know if he will but if he does

01:52then mickey maculorum in that front row there's there's your experience these these hooker plays

01:56are experienced enough but he's one of the genuine like winners in that team so i'd probably be saying

02:02you start him regardless but if jwh is banned then i think his case strengthens even more

02:08and i think it probably is robin who's the unlucky man because peter said he wants that specialist left

02:14center and if a center does get injured he's being he's proved that he's really happy to play james

02:19bachelor there as well so i think that's the way that they'll go but again there's obviously fitness

02:24tests to be considered so i guess we'll see

02:27thanks for joining us please like and share and we'll see you next week

02:37you
