Firstly,I don't think Wayne Bennett,in a timescale of 3 weeks,could sort out the troubles that Iestyn Harris has inherited.
As transfers sometimes take time to sort out it may be that the loan/dual reg of Evalds was organized before Harris took over.
I am unsure of the differing terms of dual reg and loan but in the Evalds case I believe it is a loan until the end of the season without the possibility of a recall.No one is more upset by that than me.For a number of reasons 1 of which may be beacause of my doubts about the coaching at Barrow while I don't have the same doubts about the benefits Sneyd and Owen will be receiving at their present clubs.
It will take Harris time to assess the playing strengths (and weaknesses) of his squad.I think he may have learned a lot from yesterday and the previous home game when Platt wasn't playing.

I seem to recall Harris giving an opportunity to several young Welsh players at club and international level.

I just hope Gil Dudson isn't a target for the future.

That probably says more about the coaches we have employed than the player himself.

Good point. Did Alan Hunte play Evalds or Owen when he was temporarily in-charge? I can't recall. I know both got a game or two under Noble.

Not sure about Owen. Don't think Evalds featured as Hunte started the bizarre experiment of Sneyd at fullback IIRC.

The problem might be that so many of those young players have been sent out on season long loans, and so can't be recalled. It's a problem many teams will face now there's no A team or U21 team.

I know what I'd do, go to Bradford and try and get Kear/Foster in and let them take a couple of fringe players to help bolster their numbers.

Might be a solution too the end of the season and in Foster you'd got quite a decent kicker too. Okay neither the fastest wingers in the league but will add much more pace than Platt on the wing. More concerning for me is a centre as more and more Gleeson looks shot.
