Quote ="BigTime"Yes I think it’s Bienek and Parata too who picked up knocks. From what I’ve seen Grant wouldn’t be one of our better players.
Howarth, Allen and B Leyland are kids. If they play this season that would be problematical. Albert is experienced but injured. Ulberg and Gahan are players it will be interesting to see. Ferreira is a starter, Williams on the bench. Ramsey we haven’t seen yet. Coates is thought be promising but his USP is goal kicking - you’ll recall he missed all his chances against Widnes.
So basically this 13 unavailable line is eye wash.'"
Yes Parata and Bienek were the two I thought looked good. Parata looked good against Widnes, although more conspicuous yesterday. Problem is my untrained eye sees the standout moments and not all the less noticeable work, so the difference between Parata in the two games probably wasn't as much as I saw.
I think Ramsey was on the bench at Halifax, so I'd assume he got on at some point. Unseen at Plough Lane of course.
Oh I absolutely did notice Coates kicking attempts against Widnes, to say they were poor would be overly generous. Only one was hard, the easier two attempts he never gave a chance. I wondered if he was dropped yesterday, but the reports suggest he was ruled out.
