Agreed, Same as last week.

I'd like to see Whitehead or Olbison get some more gametime before the end of the season, but when we've been playing well there's no need to change.

I think Whitehead probably will get some more time. Not sure Olbison will, but it would be nice for him to get the chance to shine aswell.

Yeah, Whitehead has impressed me quite a bit tbh, I didn't expect that much from him. 100% effort every time, good tackler and offers a good offload in attack. To be fair though, Olbison didn't get much time to show what he could bring us.

well i dont think whitehead has done anything that would preclude him from selection and as we're supposed to be getting ready for a youth revolution at odsal i think he should be getting a decent amount of game time

To be fair, he's played 7 games already since he broke onto the scene, I think that's a decent amount of exposure for a young player in his first season. We don't want to hold them back to much, but we've got to let them have a feel for it.

It sounds a fair deal but how much actual game time does it equate to? To be honest I don`t really know but I doubt it`s all that much.

As Roofaldo says he`s hardly done anything to preclude himself being selected, which, though it sounds a bit like faint praise, is really a good report for a young player breaking into the squad. He`s been solid and looks the part, and one thing`s for sure, he won`t get better playing for the reserves.

only minor change I would like to see would be dropping cook and letting one of youngsters who'll be here the game time buth other than that same as last week for me.

I'd say about 30 - 40 mins most game's he's played in, which is reasonable amount of time for a young player to get in a game(except the silly 4 minutes Macca is intent of giving debutants), I'm not saying he couldn't do more though, because I have no doubts that he could. He's started games aswell, so he's been right there in the games heated opening exchanges. For me he's had a good amount of exposure to Super League though, and that will do him no harm whatsoever, neither will giving him a rest now for a while.

7 Games is good for a rookie, next season I hope it doubles, and by the season after that I hope he's a established first teamer.
