If what I was told was true Darnell will be starting at FB if he goes well in the preseason games which means there will only be one change when Mamo is fit.
If Gaskell were to drop to FB and then when Mamo returned moved to the centres there is too much chopping and changing - although if there is an injury to Brough or Brierley he will be first in line to cover the halves.

| Guess that means Simpson will be gone next year if he's being overlooked for a more junior player.

| He's not been 'overlooked' as such, he's been injured and has been in rehabilitation, if he recovers well he still has a future here but his development has been harmed by his injury.
Would imagine Darnell would get it to start with, if not then Gaskell to FB with Darnell at wing.

Saw Darnell in the trial vs Catalans last year,looked like a very good prospect when he was brought on at centre,but he was put on the right edge,what we need just now is a class left edge centre.

Why is having an opinion just 'scapegoating' if you are true to your own thoughts,then why back off from that.It's nowt personal,have total respect for any young man who is brave enough to play the toughest sport in the world.

| Mamo and Wakeman both received their visas and will be here by the end of next weekend as confirmed by Chris Thorman today.
Great news as Wakeman will now get 3 weeks training with the boys before the first game at Widnes and will feature in the Warrington friendly too hopefully.

How long before these guys get up to speed on the plays,not criticising for t'sake of it,but in the past it was used as an excuse cos they came in late so the season is just ed up,we just have to cop that as a fan - why?

We are Huddersfield RLFC and nothing else matters.
We are based in the foothills of the majestic pennines,we are the most famous name of rugby league - our glory,and nothing else matters.

Not what Thorman tweeted publicly in answer to my question. He said that they had both only just received their visas and would expect them to be arriving within 7-10 days.

If you're getting your info from the LE - don't bother!
There is a piece supposedly by Tony Smith saying how much his squad benefitted from their ten day pre-season warm weather training...........
They've only just gone, two days ago.

Looks fit anyway,not the classic 'christmas turkey' who has allegedly been training the house down in Australia before jumping on the plane.
Reckon he's the sort of player you could chuck into the first team now and would be a huge asset - go forward and strong 'd',allowing for some possible misreads because he is not up to speed with the style of the players around him.

| That means he'll be back for a tough (on paper) run of fixtures. A baptism of fire.

Think they will all be tough this year. Think it will be a particularly tight table. Still am not convinced we will totally avoid the bottom four- but don't think we will be bothered by the million pound game.
I can see that a couple of teams will have played well and be disappointed to finish in the bottom four. I also think that KR will be lucky to come up this year as the championship sides seem more evenly matched rather than the four or five strong sides and then the rest we've seen previously- and so I can see they will get little solid preparation for the middle eight games. -dont think they will be doing a Leigh and coming up by avoiding the MPG.

| What would make me the happiest is McIntosh playing a blinder week in week out, and Mamo fighting for a place on the wing, or (can he play ?)

I agree they're all tough in superleague these days but Mamo will be back facing Wigan (A), Leeds (H), Cas (A), St Helens (A), Catalans (H) and Warrington (A) within a month. More reason than ever to get off to a reasonable start.
As always pre-season means not a lot and it doesn't matter how much you've improved - the question is have you improved more than the opposition.

Absolutely agree, and another plus point is hopefully Darnell will have a bit of SL experience too by the time Jake is ready.
