I have sympathy for Crosby, but it's been a bad time for both player and club

I don't he seems to have very little appetite to play - he is getting paid to constantly rehab!!

Rehab from what? Ive no idea whats wrong with him. Pretty sure he must have an injury of some sort.

Translation, "We're maxed out on the cap and won't be signing anyone this year.:

Whatever it is the lad needs to get playing or we need to cut at the season end

Tommy Holroyd 1st start.

Ava dropped or injured?

It was originally an infected knee after his operation.He did target Boxing day.I do know someone who also had an infected knee after a op.It was nearly 12 months later before he could run properly.

Looking forward to seeing hoe Holroyd goes (I thought we didn’t play our young uns)

That Bench seems way too light, wonder whats up with Ava?

Starting 13 looks more promising, but for the damn fullback, must be better there.

Bench really light though, hopefully will go more mobile that the case.

Im not sure who we’ve got that can go at full back instead of Handley? Sutcliffe has played there and with not much success.

But Handley is as bad as you can get, if you are looking for someone reading the game, as the fullbacks should be. Surely Newman would be better. Handley could play centre to replace, and do the things that suit him, run it in.

I did wonder if maybe Newman would be a better choice, I have a different opinion to you on Handley as a winger but agree totally with you on him in the fullback spot.

Liam Sutcliffe actually makes a pretty good back up full back. Glad to see Holroyd starting. It would be bad enough putting Bodene on bench, but starting is ridiculous. How many training sessions has he had? Mind you, the few times we got into scoring positions against Saints, we looked like we'd never played together before.
