I see in this weeks Keighley News that JD says, he is facing a selection poser.
This is caused by the fact that Jy-mel Coleman is playing so well.

I dont think its a poser at all.

Coleman should be in the team alongside Obst.

Ill put the Cat amonst the pigeons here

Drop Feather

Play Jones and Coleman at halfback

Obst at 9

That will speed up us no end and I think Jones and Coleman would be a good combo

Jones has to given time to get going, He was simply our best player 2 seasons ago, I remember the Sheffield game on telly he was a class act and it was only a few months ago he was playing against the likes of Benji Marshall and Darren Lockyer

ST, upid Why whould we drop the best all-round player?

Instead of aiming cheap shots at other posters why don't you suggest a better way?

I'd go.

Haythornthwaite (best player in pre season so far)
Duffy
Parata
Tadulala
Barnett
Obst
Jones
Cherryholme
Feather
Shickell
Sheriffe
Pursglove
JD

Rawlins
Korkidas
March
Coleman

Hell of a lot of good players left out there. Normington, Moss, Smith and Wray for a start. It shows what depth we have in the squad.

As for the half backs debate. It's only 12 months ago that we supposedly had none. I've chosen Jones over Coleman simply because of his proven pedigree. Also as he played in the 4 Nations for Wales he's been late back in to pre season. I think his sharpness will come back soon. I know a few would want to see him in at Full-Back but I feel that both James H and Moss are better than him in that position.

I can understand why you say that about Feather. Whilst nobody is doubting his defensive ability he is not the quickest player in the world and during pre-season I have been dissapointed by our slowness at the PTB. Maybe trying Obst there may speed it up, maybe not.

Good shout, although I'd swap Korky for Cherryholme. I don't know what everyone else's view is, but I have been impressed with Sheriffe during pre-season. He looks solid is defence and appears to hit and hurt. Sometimes has given the odd silly penalty away, but on the whole a good aquisition.

Two effects of strength in depth are "selection headaches for coaches" and a great opportunity for fans to moan and argue (oops, I mean debate).
