I just hope he doesn't give him ten minutes at the end again, when we're (presumably) already beaten - that's not going to help his confidence.

What a load of tosh!!! He played well in the games he played last year and was going well at the start of this year, your basing this opinion on the 5mins here n the 5mins there that jk has giving him in the last couple of games. Guaranteed Ben will be another player that leaves the club and goes on to do well and we'll all be stood here saying why did we let him go i.e Westwood, Ellis, Atkins, Brough etc

Westwood - for tax reasons.
Ellis - so not to lose him for nothing at the end of the season.
Atkins - for tax reasons.
Brough - God knows?

Granted and at the time understandable bar DB.. but my point is surely ben will want/end up moving on to somewhere else if JK keeps shuting him out, the lad gets massive pats (on the back) every team he drops down to 20s but never gets a full chance to show what he can do in the firsts! All im saying is it will not surprise me if he is in the SL next year when wakefield arnt!!

I'd like to see Wildie get some more game time this weekend. The problem is we need Rinaldi at hooker for the experience and his defence IMO.

I'd be tempted to give him a spell for BJ unless he produces more impact than he has done recently.

two games in and already everyone is slating BJ

at hull he and lee were immense at rhinos kept pressuring their line defence in the first half, something we'd never be able to do with Smith at stand off, as for gledhill needs to bulk up like PJ but i would say give him a game againts quins

(meant two games for BJ)

It's not based on two games, it's based on 9 years.

He's had a bad ankle for last 4 weeks Kear decided not getting any better so 1-2 weeks out. He's been having jabs for pain every game.

Amazing, a bad ankle and he still attempts to score a try with 4 tacklers on his back.

no great fan of Jeffries but credit where it is due he was outstanding at Hull and played well in the 1st half V Leeds before the Leeds pack got on top in the last 30 minutes

As for Gledhill I agree he is not ready just like Spiers and Trout they will get their chance but not just yet
I would look at sending Gledhill out on loan to a decent NL1 club once we have got a couple more props in

Watched Ben Gledhill play last week and he took a couple of knocks, maybe he's not 100% recovered.

I would hope thats the case and that he's not been overlooked.

I like the way this lad plays but he's just no big enough for SL imo.

Spiers could just make it from what i've seen, but i think Ben is very close to regular first team, opinions eh.

i would agree with u on other seasons but we seem to change 4 -5 players a week this season so i dont think we are doing coz we are gonna win easy just part of our rotation policy this season and well the players that are coming in aint no mugs

Vievers and Annekin to miss out. If Morrison isnt fit, then I'd start McCarthy at second row and put Annekin on the bench. Id then give the captaincy to either Korki or Rinaldi, not Jeffries.

He's just average Joe, not worthy of mention.

Blasphemy!

Adam Slater should be given a game in the first team at some point

Hes as fit as a fiddle. Baffled.

the reason he didn't go was because he is not good enough yet . he needs to mature, get a little bit bigger and a bit stronger. when i have seen the lad play in the first team he gets knocked back in the collisions. against saints last year he was knocked all over the place. he is not yet the player, some of you think he isbut in time, imo he will make a good prop but he needs to be given time. i would agree with vastman. higgins is just what we need at the moment. a good hard working prop to give us some grunt, with a bit of experience

Yes, agree with that, I've watched him play in the 20's a couple of times and it was the same their, he losses out in the collision, he obviously hasn't grown into his body yet and when he does he will be a good player. There's no need to rush him, just because he's one of our own.

He palyed last week for U 20 and went off with a knock, maybe he has not fully recovered ?

Annakin and Wildie left out.

Wildie? Suppose I can see the logic with his size but he seems to tackle well and he's got creative spark so am a but surprised at this. When's annakin going ringer a chance? He's been talked about for 2years now. Hope he gets a run out next week. Is veivers on the bench again?
