updated with latest round of injuries

He doesn't have any of the required attributes to be better than Reardon in any position. The lad is garbage. Simple as.

Even you know that is unfair for a young lad.

I don't think it is. He's done nothing in any of his appearences and is not likley to break into the first team and hold down a position. He's not big enough, strong enough and doesn't have any real pace to make up for his lack of size and strength. He gets smashed and dominated almost everytime he makes a carry and can't really dominate anybody himself.

I think it's unfair for anybody to believe he's a promising youngster that has a chance of making it asa Bulls player. It's time to cut him loose.

We'll agree to disagree then!

update injury list, plus added link to doc about Nero saying he wants to stay.

Updated with Orford Injury

Updated with Sykes' extension (of contract - not conservatory)

Getting rid of Nero is only really an option if you can bring in a British player who is better (unless we let Menzies go). I can't think of many affordable British options off the top of my head. I know BC2010 has mentioned Hall at Hull but most of their fans want rid of him which doesn't fill me with confidence.

As for Crookes, I don;t think he's had much of a shot at 1st team RL because of injuries. He can catch a ball which puts him in front of Reardon!

I agree about Nero. Apart from Shenton (who is surely out of our reach and is nailed on for Saints) there aren't any ooc centres who are better than Nero. So we either keep him, shift Menzies there, shift Sykes to centres and try to find a stand-off or we put Wardle or Crookes there.

What about, if Reardon can get fit, trying him at centre and seeing if he can earn himself a contract as a centre? As a winger i am not convinced he will be retained

Neither Nero or Platt deserve dropping.
