Are they injured or just 'dropped' ?

No disrespect to Stanton, but his defence wasn't the best on Thursday, and having Riddy and Paul on the flanks without support leaves us very vulnerable out wide.

Nanyn still has attacking prowess (even though he needs to shape up a little),and Alstead'd defence has always been pretty sound.

Alstead FB and Donlan to Centre perhaps ?

I'd rather play Ally on Nanyn's wing to sure up that side and leave Donlan as he is.

Both are down to play for the Reserves this afternoon at home to Fev. Mike Morrison, Steve Nash and Ian Mort are also going to be included.

stantons defence is abysmal as was shown on thursday and up at barrow as well hes to small in size and at moment nanyn couldnt burst through a paper bag his form lately has been worrying. have always rated alstead but cant belive he cannot hold down a regular spot in the team.

Is this on at Miners, 2.30 by any chance?

Sorry Danny only just seen your message I think all the Reserve games are going to be played down at Leigh East now until the end of the season.

what was your score today Dave ? Whitehavens reserves won 34-18 against Hunslet, tough game with a few players missing.

also any idea where the reserves play off final is being played ? could well be Haven and Leigh with them being top 2 at moment

Our Reserves won 52-18 v Featherstone although to be fair we did have 6 players who have first team squad numbers this season. Still it was good to get back to winning ways after the dross the lads turned up on Tuesday night against Oldham.

I've not had any dates through for reserve play-offs yet.

Play off dates are on RFL site and ive just spoken with our reserve team manager and he tells me he thinks no venue has been agreed yet for final.

It used to be that the highest placed team hosted the GF...

It's time Mort was given a shot at the first team and how Morrison can't get in the team before Bibey is beyond me. Alstead would be on teamsheet every week as well for me.

I seriously question Millwards team selections recently.

carry on like that kevster and you'll be after bringing back hobson & stewart

well i have been a advocate of stanton, but aftr watching him on thurs, well me mum could of tackled better, i'm not joking she could, he was shocking, was done for size, not his fault, but was done for pace on the outside, and did not help havinbg mcgraff as his centre.

Mort was given a chance in the first team at Batley a couple of weeks ago and he was dreadful. TBF though he wasn't the only one that day. As for Morrison, I'm sorry but for now personally I would select Ricky Bibey over Mike Morrison everyday of the week.

That's just my view. It's all about opinions.

Keep taking the Tablets Kevster,they will kick in soon,Mort?He has had his chance,Morrison isnt up to it,and Alstead to me blows hot and cold,we are all entitled to our oppinions obviously,but we need speed andsize.
