after todays shocking performances id like to see the young lads given a chance to give these so called pro rugby players a kick up the backside. Id like to see Burgess and Bateman....... Oh and sykes DROPPED.

I'd just like to see O'Brien on the Bench again would be an interesting little battle between him and Milner as Milner is the England Academy starting Hooker while O'Brien is the Bench Hooker

Milner looks good, but that 17 year old Daryl Clark looks even better. Some very good young players coming through over at Cas.

no sykes...problem solved...addey in

From what Ive seen of both, Milner looks twice the player of O'Brien. Clever with the ball, not just a scooter and cheap yard merchant. Milner reminds me of a young T Newton. O'Brien is like Higham in comparison IMO.

Yeah but Diskin should (not saying he will) dominate the Hooking role.

Addy and Royston back in, Langley if fit, Sykes,sibbit and olbison out. Jobs a good un

diskin didnt do much todsay

Thought obrien looked good today to say the team was so so poor. For me the team shud be:

Royston!
Ainscough
Ah Van
Platt
Raynor
Kearney
Herbert
Scruton
Diskin
Lynch
Whitehead
Elima
Langley

Bench: Addy, Bateman, Burgess, Hargreaves

Well, if Langley is fit, then he should be back in the side at 13.

That means Elima and Whitehead at 2nd row, with Addy taking Sibbit's place on the bench.

Give O'Brien another go from the bench. He didn't do much wrong a 17 year old making his debut.

Return for Royston at Full Back, and a lesson learned for Mr Potter "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

Sibbit? why he has been shocking last few games. Time for bateman

Time for Burgess for me. We need some impact from the bench. Not sure Koppy gives us it, he's not mobile enough.

Its pointless having Addy and O'Brien both on the bench.

I'd keep Addy, he can do something with the ball in his hands.

Hope Burgess gets a go, Potter said he's been training well and he's had some good reports from the under 20's.

Time to stop wrapping them up in cotton wool. Burgess and bateman im confident wont look out of place

Langley back this week should fix some of the leaks up. Isn't Briggs due back this week or is that next week?

Potter said langley,briggs and walker all 2 weeks away on prematch interview on yorkishire radio. Think l'estrange only being 3-4 weeks aways was mentioned too.

I'm also supporting the inclusion of Burgess for next weeks game. I'd drop either Koppy or Scruton as Lynch and Hargreaves are putting in the effort each week.

If a prop is getting dropped it should be Scruton imo. As much as I like him, he didn't have a proper pre-season, and he hasn't got up to speed yet. He'd do better if he got a start, but Bryn & Lynch (until today) have been doing well.

Not sure they'll use Burgess yet though.

Mind games for next week? I'm sure I read during the week that Langley could have played against Huddersfield but wasn't risked?

Thought Scruton did alright today, would drop Koppy if including Burgess.

Out Sykes, Sibbitt, Kopczak
In Royston, Langley/Addy, Burgess

Hopefully, we need somebody who can tackle on the pitch.

Dropping sykes would defintely be a good thing ! and lynchy needs to be more vocal, potter needs to give the players a good kick up the backside and sort them out or start dropping some of them for the likes of burgess etc

I read same, but also was mentioned in langleys column in t&a that he was going back to see his specialist as he wasn't improving as fast as he'd like.
