So can I, hope not

Saints beat a poor Salford team then nilled by wire.
Injuries , one eye on the world club challenge , getting use to a new coach.
I reckon we will win, even though it will most likely be raining !

Sanderson put a You Tube link on Twitter today with his highlights. I wonder if that is due to not getting a contract

any chance of the link?

Are people really suggesting replacing Swift with Sanderson?

Do you think Swift is good enough at the moment?

His stats were very similar to Naulago on Friday (Swift made more metres). Nothing to suggest that he should be dropped after one game.

What after one game, come on surley we aren't judging a playing that easily and to replace him with a player who has never played SL (I think that is right?) and isn't even contracted to the club is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard, even on here?

He was no where as bad as bad as people are making out.

I wasn't suggesting replacing him with Sanderson (I said I didn't know enough about Sanderson to comment). When the centre actively runs away from his winger, the winger is slow, out of position and struggles with a high ball I worry. The reserbes is there for players to prove themselves, not the first team (IMHO), Saints will target him. He looks like he needs a fair amount of conditioning to me. I hope he proves me wrong.

Good lad is Adam Swift, not really had much game time lately, apart from the occasional outings with Saints, it did show against the robins, but improvement will come, and with Buretta deciding to pull out, a very good replacement to have if Radders picks him, and I’m sure the lad will also want to ram it up his home town club for obvious reasons.

Buretta pulled out of his own accord?

I wasn't impressed with him but often players raise their game against their former teams too. Im sure it will motivate him to put in a good performance against Makinson/Grace.

He went to Radders to say that he had a slight groin issue, that he could get through the game, but didn't want to let his team mates down so it was down to Radders, and he decided to put Swift in so that Bureta could rest

Cheers, reads a bit better than "decided to pull out".
I hope Swift does raise his game, we will find out on Sunday.

FFS nobody has said we should definitely replace Swift with Sanderson I just put it out there as a possible option after a post by IR80 as its a forum which is supposed to be to discuss.

Indeed, Sanderson looks quicker than Swift in the "showreel", but then he's hardly going to put missed tackles or dropped balls on it.

We'll see how Swift goes, when everyone is fit he will have to work hard to keep a place (as will everyone)

Yes is a forum, and if you put something out there expect to be challenged, especially that suggestion, which is ridiculous as explained above.

It’s all about opinion but this forum is becoming nothing more than an online play ground. It was simply an option put out there in response to another poster simple. I expected more from Swift to be honest based on his experience and the fact he had an opportunity to lay down a marker to keep his place which for me he didn’t do.

Sanderson isn’t a bad player either saying it is ridiculous like it’s the craziest thing you’ve heard is rather dramatic. It’s an opinion

If you say so, don't get the playground stuff, have I resorted to that, insulted you etc.

I honestly cant believe that after one game that Sanderson a player who hasn't played SL and isnt even a Hull player (I'm not even sure he would be allowed to play) could replace Swift against the champions and the of the best wingers in SL.

Like you say it's all about opinions.

Still not sure what Swift did wrong, Shaul has a much worst game and nothing has been said about him.

I think Swifty looked a little clunky and hesitant at times, and also debuting in a high pressure Derby after being out so long would test the mettle of most, he will improve hopefully, thanks to our owner we are very fortunate to have good options almost everywhere, as a club we seem to be in a healthy position, expectation is high, we were magnificent at Headingley, and did enough against our neighbours.

Saints are the acid test, a really quality side, they will test us everywhere, the injuries in both camps cancel each other out, and should we manage to take the spoils, imagine the increased expectations at the club. This forum has some marvellous eloquent posters, some I’ve crossed swords with, no problem, disagreeing is part of it, but there is a small element of continuous mischievousness, where the participants are more interested in twisting words, rather than partake in the rugby league conversation.

I thought we were at home this weekend (like city on Friday night).

It was just an option that may or may not be possible to Swift that was all. I was a little disappointed with Swift for the reasons stated but it was his first game and I would have him back in against St’s with Faraimo still injured as shown in my posts.

Swift out, fonua on the wing and another forward on the bench for me. Pointless having a centre on the bench

Dont agree about having Fonua on the bench as long as he does more than 10 minutes.Cant see that 10 minutes game time helps with match fitness
Its an easy interchange when we can move Griffin into the second row.
Personally would like to see an extra forward on the bench rather than carry two hookers but the way to handle Walmsley is to tackle him low around the legs and i think Johnstone can do this.
Its going to be wet.Just wish Albo was available.
Still not convinced by Connor at 6.
