Just watched the game back and thought the same as I did Saturday. Great start to the season but Adamson and Nash are just not going to cut the mustard at SL level. Nash looks like he has buckled up abit but surely can't get a shirt before Sidlow and Jewett. Hopefully having no relegation can bring them on but can't see it.

I can see your point with Nash as I have always wondered what the powers that be see in him but Adamson on the other hand is a star in the making for me and if he played for a top 4 team he'd be on the fringes of international honours before long.

may not be the biggest or strongest but hes still only a young lad .. hes never let the side down and gives his 100% every game he plays .. other second rowers may be bigger and stronger but hes never been played out the game so thats good enough for me.

I'm sure I heard someone from the Uni say the he was the strongest (or one of) in terms of measured physical strength in the uni gym.

Nash showed he was of ability last time we were in SL and Adamson has showed he has bags of talent.

I have to disagree with your comment about Adamson not being big or strong enough for a second rower. If you compare him to Jon Wilkin at St Helens, he's a similar kind of size to Adamson and he's a full International?

Luke Adamson 6'1 - 15st - 5lbs
rlEngland Academy Inforl

Jon Wilkin 6'1 - 15st - 4lbs

Personally I think Adamson brings a bit more pace and mobility to the pack.

Look at players like Billy McGinty, Trevor "The Axe" Gillmeister and at Salford, Arthur Bradshaw. Not big blockbusting second rowers, but pacey, strong and great tacklers. I think if Adamson can really polish up a hard, fair, and reliable tackling technique (like the aforementioned Axe) he can carve out a niche for himsef.

This season's gonna be all about giving these young lads game time against super league sides. They're not gonna destroy defences in their first game - if they did they would be at Bradford, Leeds or St's. They've got potential - now they need to get experience. We've got a long season ahead and they will all get their chance. I think we need to wait til mid season (hell, even next season) then decide if they can cut it at this level.

I think writing them off after 1 super league game is crazy - just as saying Myler is the next GB scrum half.

We've got 3 years - give them time.

Nothing wrong with Luke Adamson.

Steve Nash needs plenty of game time this season in order to prove himself.

Lee Jewit is more than good enough and I'm sure we will see him on the bench very soon.

Adam Sidlow is also knocking on the door.

Jordan Turner will be back in the first team when the times right.

Stefan Ratchford also will be in the frame very soon.

Also Paul White will have to fight for a first team spot when he's fit again.

The Salford City Reds more or less have everybody available at the minute but as we all know it's a long season and players will pick up the odd injury and this is when the squad rotation will come into effect.

In the meantime I think our head coach McRae is doing a great job of protecting the young players and I'm sure he will know when to change the current first team 17.

The other night Ray Cashmere looked to have finished with a calf strain, who knows the big fella may be rested this coming Sunday at Wakefield if so Lee Jewitt is waiting in the wings.
