So, you'd move Horne to the centres? Radford proclaimed him the best half-back at the club. Clearly you disagree.

He's NOT a centre, neither is Whiting. We HAVE centres at the club. We also have Yeaman.

My point still stands, it was well advertised by his family that he was fit and ready, club physio's said he was good to go. Not saying those opinions were right or wrong, just stating Gentles reasons for picking him. Given his form it would have been hard not to.

We need to stop with the sliding defence for starters. We don't look like we talk to each other whilst trying to slide etc, so it looks like its a panic line, hence why teams are out numbering us when the ball is shipped over to the wings.

Whiting at Centre, Rankin and Miller in the Halves, hopefully take the line on better this time. Also hoping that the forwards(minus paea) were embarrassed by getting battered about at NCP, so they step up and kick ass

pulling the trigger usualy helps.

i reckon paea has been saving himself for this game against his old club,i also think he will roll over their forwards like a bulldozer.just my thoughts.

Great so we've got players who just save themselves for particular games!!

Bit touchy aren't we?



To me, and i apologise if i've read it wrong, but saying things like "Gelling had Crooks for breakfast, Dinner etc" and "Crooks can't complain at being dropped" and "if Crooks plays well he stays in" does read as singling him out.

For me he deserves a run at left centre to see if that suits him better.

TBF though, running from dummy half really isn't one of Crooks' strengths, so I'm fine with others taking more responsibility than him for that. I think he'll improve that area if/when he bulks out a bit more (as will a couple of other areas of his game).

You make this sound like a new thing. It's been a well known issue for years!

So Paea was saving himself for when he plays us when he last played us????

just my personal thoughts.

I'd have kept Bowden in squad in place of Caevell and brought Green into 2nd row.

Is Green fit? I thought he was injured.

Been playing for Doncaster for past month

Just heard on Humberside, Whiting is injured.

Sa in??













Maybe Horne/Thompson to centre??

I was originally thinking Horne at centre but I'd be more tempted to give Thompson a chance there I think.

Binman to centre, Colbon to the wing?

Not that I would want that myself. In fact I'd dread it.

The Arundel loan is looking a bit premature isn't it.

I'd like to see Thompson in at right centre. He's probably forgotten his positional play but at least he can score given a quarter of a chance.

Seems strange to name whiting in the 19 then go on radio nxt day and say he is out!

Much as I like Superman, he certainly hasn't been at his best for a while and I think, like Doc Brown and C for Cuckoo that Thompson ought to slot in at centre. He's played there plenty of times before and I don't think he will let us down.

whoever plays there will only be up against turnstile Whelam so they should be ok.

You want to see our turnstiles lately. They wiz around very quickly.

Lately? Lucky sods, we have had 2 1/2 years of playing touch rugby under Sandercock.

He'll put horne in the centre
