well no, the expectation was that BJB would be back halfway through the season. So either you shell out big money to sign a new winger for half a season, or you find someone solid enough to do a job out there.

Given the apparent problem with Chisholm is his defence, and Brian Mac seems determined to have us much tighter in defence this year, picking Vickery makes sense.

Or they could have had nightmare debuts when they're weren't ready, ruining their confidence, thus ensuring they never recover and see first team rugby league again.

See George Elliott!

He'll look good lining up in the same team as Gareth Ellis... oh, wait.

Be serious......are you telling me that it is likely that Chisholm AND Duckworth AND Handley (AND even Watson at a push) would [uALL[/u [ithree/four[/i have had nightmare debuts?? Like to see the odds on that.

There has been more than ample time to have seen all of them given equal chance in BJB's absence.

Instead we have had poor old (sorry, 'young') Keinhorst - played out of position mind - banished for one poor game despite the whole goddamn team been hopeless in the same match......and then the sorry sight of Vickery ironically given too many chances before mercifully been put out of his misery.

Being.

They wouldn't be as long as you'd think!

We see it all the time, particularly with wingers.

Mitch Vincent has left Leeds and joined Wakefield.

Is that due to lack of opportunities in the u20's?

I was interested to see how he developed too. 3rd club in 9 months though. That's not a good record.

Don't think he ever played H.

He came off the bench in the preseason game against Wigan. Never found out exactly how old he was. He should get a go somewhere. He has an antipodean accent
