Danny Cowling will replace banned Dean Collis for Wildcats v Saints. Oli Wilkes back from his ban, Matt James doubtful with calf pull.

Straight in the 17 or one of the men to miss out of the 19?
Source?

The Wage snitch gets a game

Charlie centre for me, and Morton on the wing

Morton just`t cant defend, Give Cowling his chance - On top of that i wouldent want to unsettle Benny by moving him to centre

Big step up for Cowling, is he big enuff

Theres only one way to find out ?

Centre it is then

We`ll see wether Cowling gets a go or not, I suppose the ideal gameplan would be to move Kirmond out to centre - Saints have some big units out wide and cause nightmares for the likes of Morton and Cowling.

how dare that agar play kids? i can hear the sound of people screaming in west hull already....

I know it's all about opinion but I really don't understand this desire to move possibly one of the best S/Rs in SL on current form into the centres.

Why?

Surely it's illogical to move a player who is dominant in his position into another position where he is basically cover and replace said player with an inferior one in his original position.



Play Cowling at Centre and leave Kirmond where he can cause some real damage. Saints may be big in the backs but there bigger in the middle where most games are won and lost.

What I don't get is why we loaned out Walshaw who played well at centre on his last run out, when we knew Mellors was out for the season. That said Cowling IMHO is a good steady player and will hopefully go OK.

you should have watched Dale in the nines competition , he put in some massive hits both in the round at Cas at the ones at Belle Vue

feline my dear, there's a big difference between putting in a massive hit or two, and consistently being in the right place to defend. see peter fox for an example.

Surely you've just proved her point as Fox is playing.

well not really, morton's considered poor in defence. i've not seen him for a long time now, so can't comment on how he's getting on, but the parallel i made between him and fox was based on the evidence that dear feline presented. we all surely know that fox cannot defend don't we?

No we don't but you feel free to to assume we do

Only attended the nines at Belle Vue and i must have been watching a different player, looked very average and made a number of mistakes but thats just my take on the lad. Saying that he had a fantastic first half against the crusaders away last year.

get an adult to take you to the game next time, and ask them to help make sure you're facing the pitch. i'm sure even you can then manage to get a sense of fox's defensive frailties.

When did I say he didn't have defensive frailties

Big opportunity for cowling this weekend. Go get them lad.

That's the spirit, we will never know if he can step up unless we give him a go and it might as well be Saints.

Oli in for James and Cowling at centre the kid deserves a chance

Cowling isn't 16/17 yrs old. He's a 6ft 2 inch tall, 20 year old bloke and must be getting near to his physical peak. Doncaster coach said recently
“He’s 6ft 2in and a strong runner and has got good pace and he’ll be a useful acquisition....."

Good effort RA even if he struggles a bit with the pace he needs game time, hope he hits them hard and scores a try

Well he has to have a go sometime and yes it would be nice in a pre season friendly but if hes good enough what does it matter who its against.Hes on home ground and one thing I will say is lets not get on his back if he makes a slip with his first touch.The one good thing is Saints wont know of any areas he is not confident/or good in.
