The difference is they are being groomed a few games at a time, educated into the match day and game set up, this happens over a period of time, younger players need more recovery time at SL level.

We just use and drop them has and when its needed.

Thats not my first 17 Bren thats Agars.

Walshaw is certainly taking his opportunity

On the bright side were not being pumped by wigan's kids

Good that Walshaw is getting a chance and sounds as if he's taking it at centre.

Unfortunately we have given the giants 12 points. We never learn

I would give t under 19s captain a go great workhorse anddoes everything right l m o

It was a genuine question Al - I don't know if that's what's happening to our lads, or not; on the surface, it seems that the two things are broadly the same, but I accept that the small details are important.

For clarity - it's not mine either; my first 17 wouldn't have Washbrook anywhere near it, neither would it have Sammut anywhere other than at 6.

From memory Wildie is first choice in the 17 for Wigan away and thats the only time.


IMO playing Sammut at fullback is barking mad bordering lunacy.

That's him dropped from the next 19 man squad.

Yes sounds like he's playing really well so will definitely be shipped out again for showing up agar 'mates'

If Walshaw does not play the next game it is an absolute travesty. He caused the giants problems in attack with some good offloads thrown in and was rock solid in defence. Well done Lucas
