Just found wanting against a bigger more mobile Hull pack that had more depth & quality in it.

If he's fit and not in trouble then Garbutt should be playing. Albert and JJB could do with a week off but we have no one to replace them with keinhorst at centre so Moon can stay at SO.

That being the case then half the pack chosen tomorrow should not have made the 17.
Even after giving them a chance against Wakefield they still messed up.
He will probably drop Cuthbertson next for trying too many offloads.
Five drives and a kick is our tactic they are not paid to think outside the box.

I seem to remember McDermott and Garbutt had a bit of a fall out last season too. I heard McD told Garbutt to ' go home' if he wanted to. Maybe he should and maybe McD should too.

In the interview McDermott openly states Garbutt has a calf injury that hasnt healed yet

injured or not, to go with 3 props after being totally outmuscled last week is stupid imo. mind even if we had a 4th prop he might not get out the bench

Spot on but we can't let that get in the way of plucked out of the air nonsense rumours. Can't remember the last time someone missed a game and it wasn't down to McDermott failing out with the player apparently.

For Christ sake Printer. Stop brown nosing Brian McDermott for once.

Learn from mistakes and sensible bench use ?

Ok I'll go along with that there's been a spat between him and Garbutt based on ALL the clear evidence we have.

I hope so but I won't hold my breath

Confirmed by McDermott Golding left out due to below level of performance.
Yep kick the young lad and keep the old faves in the pack who have under performed far more so than Golding.
Not sure how many times McGuire and Briscoe have been dropped this season either.

So Golding comes back from injury and after a couple of games has probably his best game of the season against Wigan. He then plays in one of the poorest team performances of the season the following week and gets dropped for being below par whilst the forwards who waved Wakefield players through all game retain their spots.

I'm sure that makes perfect sense somewhere.

Can't say I'm fussed about Golding being dropped. He was arguably the worst player last week, and Walker has been breathing down his neck.
Yes, some of the forwards deserve to be dropped as well, but we're hardly blessed with much depth there at the moment with Garbutt, Galloway and Ferres injured. Plus, Golding doesn't have a decade worth of credit in the bank that the likes of Ablett and JJB be in particular have.

How many bad performances does a decade of credit buy you? I'd say almost the whole of last year plus some very poor performances this year pretty much puts JJB, Ablett and Delaney in the same position as everyone else.
