two wingers who scored tries for fun last year against one who did not score many. big suprise on teamsheet to me.

Who's gonna slip into the centre spot with Tyrer now Nanyn is carrying an injury?

Being a winger isn't always about scoring tries though. I think Rettie is a far better all-round player than Worrincy (Rob, not Mike!).

guess thats the difference in a mod of a forum and a legend of the game and now many coaching honours.
no insult intended
i just know this will come back to haunt me when white a rob make their ways to the wings in season

Coming from a Batley fan, who is trying to remain totally unbiased ; Reittie isn't a patch on either Worrincy OR White.

Maybe that was the purpose of signing Rettie. Maybe KH was given the heads up that Rob needs a kick up the jacksie from time to time. He'll play better with a bit of competition and knowing that he will be dropped if need be.

i agree, until the hudds game he was poor.

the way i see it it was a shootout between Rob and White against Hudds for a place vs Rams.

Worrincy scored four and was awesome.

barely remember seeing White.

Rob plays.

I heard its White instead of Worrincy for the Dewsbury game. Fact is Rettie has played well in every game he has played and Worrincy has started the season in lacklustre fashion and his moaning and whinging on Twitter probably isnt helping his cause. He needs to keep his head down and work on his game. He could do a job for a team in SL with a bit of improvement but at the moment hes a million miles away. This from a massive Worrincy fan as well.

I've not seen any moaning from any players. Only self motivation and apologies/acceptance of having a poor game. It seems Callands open style of play suited and exploited the strengths of the wingmen more hence each racking up 25 tries last season, whereas KH is more of a through the middle n kick deep tactician which doesn't so much result in tries for the wide men (look at Rettie - his clear favourite - stuck in single figures last season). So the change of tactics and overhaul of team mates could have played a part in some unsteady starts to the season! I completely agree though that Rettie has been extremely solid and you know what you'll get. A strong carry drawing in a few men followed by a half decent attempt at a quick play of the ball.

It's not too long since that Whitey was criticised on here at full back & I asked the difference between catching a ball at FB to catching a ball on the wing. This is the sort of pressures Rhino & the players need. I just hope the pack can hold out and be strong until we get some more competition for places all over the park, we can't afford a slow start, anyone going to Dewsbury with a feint heart, don't bother 'cos Jowitt is a beast & he won't wear soft forwards in his team.
Let's have it.

Rettie is solid and will go well I feel, he hits the line hard which is what we need.

whitey and rob were excellent for us last season and will be harsh on whoever is left out.

in todays courier. rob injured with knee n not trained another waiting for hospital checks along with casey.

Probably worked out well in one sense that Worrincy wasnt playing against Dewsbury anyway so gets a bit of time to heal.

if Rob doesnt play we will miss him with his go forward.

White's chance to shine then eh.
