This discussion may be irrelevant in a couple of weeks when Pheonix arrives.
I can't see him coming over for what could be a 27 game contract and sitting in the stand. If Lilley stays for a few months he will surely keep the SH role with Leon or Keys at SO. That to me leaves the FB open for Pheonix.

It's really strange. At HKR Thomas was solid under the high ball and that was with fast and big guys running at him.

Difference is the weather. So hard to catch a high ball in those conditions. Bound to be one dropped eventually. I thought he was solid to be honest against Rochdale. Scored a try, kicked the goals and set up a try for Bentley. Plus that was an outstanding try saving tackle too.

Campbell is still the better player though, by a fair distance IMHO.

Oh I agree mate! I think he's been very good and very solid this pre-season. Was hoping he'd get a run in the side

I think that secures his future for the FB role this week then!

If we're going to give Thomas a long run at FB let's give Campbell a chance at centre. I think he could offer more than Mendeinka in that position.

The thing is is dont know if anyone picked up on it, before the season started Gledhill did an interview on BCB with Chalmers. In that interview he was talking about everyone involved at the club and fans mucking in together. He said whether that be Geoff coaching, Oscar at fullback or etc etc. To specifically name Thomas at fullback before a ball had been kicked said a lot for me. I wouldn't be surprised if he was one of the top earners signed up thus making it untenable not to play him. Not that i'm saying he isnt good enough, but in a fight we need people who know the league inside out and Campbell should be at full back

Campbell should be at fullback.

He did enough in the 2 friendly's to prove that in my opinion.

I know Batley fan very well and he would have him back any day of the week.

If Oscar was signed on massively more than others then we are in trouble

I treat any comments about wage rates of players as pure speculation.
I'm amazed that some on here are so dismissive of Thomas - he's young and talented . After the Hull KR match neutrals and Rovers fans were full of praise for him.
There is room in the 17 for both Campbell and Thomas. Both can play centre, both can play full back.
I rate Campbell highly - I watched him when he played for Batley and he was usually the best or nearly the best player on the pitch.
