What do you all think about dropping those that wont be here and those that bring nothing for the remainder of the season and playing the commited and young lads where we can.

I think it's the way forward.

Next week

Kearney
Ainscough(if fit)
Platt
Bateman
Raynor
Jeffries
Southernwood
Lynch
O'Brien
Kopczak
Elima
Langley
Addy

Hargreaves
Burgess
Sibbit
Olbison

I'd have Finnigan in the centres before Platt.

But aside from that, yeah, why not? We've nothing much to lose

Agree - but the line up is not a strong one.

Completely agree with bringing Southernwood in for Herbert.

Gonna get shot for this comment but.... I didn't think Sykes was that bad tonight. High ball on the wing excluded, he showed some passion for the shirt (and a nice shot on Tomkins!!)

How about our proper u20's centre in Rob Hawthorne not makeshift and do players.

Southernwood is still crocked i think.

Trouble is the young lads play exactly the same as the first team and that has to be down to the Coaching! I don't know what the answer is but it needs to be radical. It's making the marketing job a poison chalice of a task......

I havent seen Hawthorne play for a while, I know they were expecting big things from him. I was mainly just trying from our first team squad, however Hawthorne would be fine from what Ive seen.

I thought you wasn't right big of Hawthorne, Red? How's he progressing? Strengths and Weaknesses? Any idea how big the lad is?

I've known Rob for years hes progressing well still needs a bit work on his defence but is very strong he's bulked up well.

Cool. Good stuff. Plenty of pace?

Needing work on his defence is obviously no bar to selection this season

Seriously. Let's give him a shot. He couldn't be any worse - and for the last two matches against other teams with nothing much to play for its the perfect opportunity to try out anyone fron the U20s who looks decent.

Are there any others worth a go?

How about a bring your boots week at Odsal next week????????

Yeah he's no Usain Bolt but he's quick enough for a rugby player.

Well looks like we will never see Herbert and Ah Van again. Broken hand and neck injury respectively, apparently.

Hope they both get well soon, but thank goodness.

My thoughts exactly

Injuries save them being dropped.....
