Having watched several reserve team games, there does seem to be a huge gap between 1st and 2nds. So having a good game for the reserves doesn't show much. It would be good for Longstaff if he could get a 1st team game at Hull.
I don't see much wrong with this.

I agree that Longstaff needs 1st team football.

Given the sorry form of both our current 2nd rowers, why hasn`t Powell given him a chance at Warrington?

#LongstaffOut

Spot on, as it's the best way to see at first hand whether Longstaff will cut the 'custard', it gives him a reward for his exploits in the reserves, encourages others that there's a pathway, and (quite rightly IMO) gives our current second rowers a well deserved kick up the proverbial and shows that the coach is trying to create a meritocracy.

Win win win win and given our current state makes sense

Cut the custard?

A Rubber Duckism which leads me to believe he may have sampled my mum’s cooking (it also applies to her gravy).

Perhaps Ellis is keeping his options open. Impress at Hull in case we go down/

It's a duck thing

I googled the term Rubber Duckism, and it has indeed been included in the latest edition of the Oxford Dictionary.

Apologies EW I edited your post without quoting

Not really, but it may lead to him getting more game time.

I didn't want to put cryptic messages on here, but the club watches. So I need to be careful what I put. Anyone's free to DM me for an explanation.

The club watches rlfans? Sure! methinks they should be focusing their efforts on bigger things than the tripe on here. #KissKamOut though just in case.

Well if they’re watching… GET A BLOODY GRIP, lead with strategy and direction and engage the fans.
