Any ideas?

He may be off.

Got to admit I've wondered if were hoping someone will overtake him in try scoring chart so we're not losing our top try scorer when we announce his departure. Think he's done enough to justify a starting SL spot but is unfortunate to be behind Kearney at bulls. Combined with Sykes and platt already under contract as utility backs we may not offer him best deal in that role. Suspect he may go to hull kr or widnes for a starting spot.

He didn't get picked today because Potter was always likely to go with an unchanged team



Why hasn't he been in all season? Hard to say. But I think he suffers from not really having a main / settled position. What seems to be his best position happens to be where Kearney plays.



You know the phrase 'Jack of all traders, Master of None'?

would there be anything wrong with playing BK as stand off with Royston coming in at FB cause on bulls website it does say that BK's position is Stand off

If he's not in next week then Potters mad. Realisticaly the play-offs are gone, and there is no benefit to us playing Ah Van or Herbert.



Royston

Raynor

Whitehead

Platt

Crookes

Kearney

Jeffries

Lynch

Diskin

Kopzcak

Elima

Sibbit

Donaldson



O'Brien

Burgess

Scruton

Bateman



That's what I owuld like to see next week. O'Brien and Bateman both had good games in the u20s and Crookes didn't do much wrong before he was dropped. I'd like to see Finigan given at least onw run out before the end of the season too - he looked good in the u20s today.



The seasons over, let some lads play who have pride in the shirt. I know they aren't all ready, and i'm not suggesting they play every game until the end of the season, but they can't do worse than today.

I'd like to see:



Royston

Finigan (my man)

Platt

Crookes

Raynor

Kearney

Jeffries/Southernwood

Burgess

Diskin

Lynch

Elima

Whitehead

Addy



O'Brien

Scruton

Donaldson

Kopczak



Royston can switch with Kearney before the game but NOT during the game as Royston had a stint at SO in U20's.

Also if needs be, Donno at LF, Addy as bench HK, O'Brien OUT and Bateman as Bench LF/SR.

Wouldn't mind seeing that team either. Koppy deserves to start though imo.

I know but we need impact off the bench. No good stacking it with kids. My team is the perfect mix of Youth and Exp. Not a worldclass side but solid enough for rest of season imo.

I have to agree with yourself and Ewwenorfolk in that there is no point at all in playing Ah Van and Herbert now we 110% know that they are leaving the club.

Did you watch u20s Mick?



O'brien, Bateman and Finigan all looked useful.

Are Johns always been good





Before Finigan made his debut I said to my cousin from now on thats my man. And boom 4 tries in 2 games
